Captain Malachi Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm sure they do have others, but none that are particularly famous or used much, lupercal is their main one. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 The war cry was "LUPERCAL!" and then after Horus became Warmaster the cry was "For the Warmaster!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lord_Of_Angels Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 in false gods it mentions the sons of horus reverting back to the lunar wolves persona and emitting a wolf howl battle cry. Im assuming that was their original battle cry before 'lupercal'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 they also had a particular battle cry wherein they would shout "Kill for the Living, Kill for the Dead". also once it was mentioned that Horus himself shouted "FOR THE EMPEROR" then the Luna Wolves shouted "LUPERCAL, LUPERCAL!"

turelhim vampire Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Lupercal is actually Horus' surname, as revealed by the Cabal in "Legion" ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Lupercal is actually Horus' surname, as revealed by the Cabal in "Legion" Actually I don't think so. I think this is a case of using a title as a extension of the name. An example (non-40k related) would be "Eragon Shadeslayer" from the Eragon series. Or like the Orks such as 'Wazrak Skullcrusher.'

Sons of Horus Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Lupercal is not Horus' surname! it is his nickname which he got from C'thonia. trust me, i know a lot about the Warmaster Horus :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kushan Blackrazor Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 They also occasionally used "In the Name of the Ship!" didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raulmichile Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 They also occasionally used "In the Name of the Ship!" didn't they? If I was a marine my battle cry would surely be "Let's fu#$%" this "#$%#ers!" or "The last to trash those #$"ards is a <DELETED BY THE INQUISITION>!" or something like that. It's more manly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Nah, my battle-cry would be "oh crap, what have I got myself in to now?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 for my space wolves its usually a howl or "For Russ!" for my high elves its "Get their Wallets!"...i wish i remembered the joke that got that one started. wolf lord kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliggs Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 How about "I am tired of these motherf***ing Orks on my motherf***ing battle barge!!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
As7_k Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 They also occasionally used "In the Name of the Ship!" didn't they? It was more of a way to describe an emotional state. "Oh, I feel the hand of the ship on me, Garvi." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully ad Bellum Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Horus' battle barge was the Vengeful Spirit, so when the marines of the 16th Legion were feeling choleric (ie, pissed-off), they would describe their emotional state by saying, as As7_K noted, that they "felt the hand of the ship upon them." Without a doubt, the battle cry of the Luna Wolves was, "Lupercal!" When they were renamed the Sons of Horus, it became, "For the Warmaster!" "Kill for the living; Kill for the dead," was a solemn oath between battle brothers, not really a battle cry. The 16th also made a big deal of swearing "oaths of moment" before going into battle. Often they would write the oaths themselves, but occasionally a superior would write an oath to a subordinate, charging them to accomplish great deeds in the performance of their duties to the emperor. These oaths would be forsworn upon a bolter, a sword, or some other weapon, and in the presence of a witness, a second. A big deal to the Wolves, but also not a battle cry. If the legion's wearing white, it's "Lupercal." If they're wearing metallic seafoam-green, it's "For the Warmaster." And if they've scratched the Eye of Horus off their seafoam-green because they think Horus is a big a-hole, it's "For the Emperor!" All of which, I know, is what everyone has said before me...but now at least I've contributed to the noise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
