The Warmaster Quotes

“He sleeps in the woods and he hunts in the hives! The King of the Knives! The King of the Knives! He dies where he doesn’t and lives where he thrives! The King of the Knives! The King of the Knives! He cuts all the husbands and preys on the wives! The King of the Knives! The King of the Knives! His voice is as loud as a battleship’s drives! The King of the Knives! The King of the Knives! He comes in the darkness and he takes all our lives! The King of the Knives! The King of the Knives! This is the song of the King of the Knives! – Children’s skipping chant, Tanith”
― Dan Abnett, The Warmaster

I believe that he is so anxious to prove his worth… or so anxious to repudiate his reputation in the eyes of the Archon… that the possession of Urdesh is secondary to him. He has set the trap. He has laid the bait for us. That bait is Urdesh and Sek himself. We are so eager to take this world whole and end him. So eager, we have brought the Saint. The Saint, the warmaster, and a significant section of high command staff.”

“Parting is not an ending. Life is just the path ahead, so sometimes you leave things behind you.’ ‘No sentiment,’ said Ezra. ‘It was a journey and we walked it.”
