Sarge: "People, CHARGE" Infantry: "RAWR" Infantry with Brain: "How come we can't move so fast normally, even when sprinting?"
Hormagaunt: "I am biologically engineered to be amongst the fastest creatures in the universe!" Fleeing IG Infantry: "And yet we can still out run you."

They should have done Cloven Hooves, though, to pull in the Biblical references. Also, I'm totally naming a Model in one of my Speedbump Squads Corporal Itsuckstobeme

Terminator 1: 'Look out, generic Thunder Hammer Storm Shield Terminator, a destroyer blast from a titan!' Terminator 2: 'It's ok, other generic Thunder Hammer Storm Shield Terminator, I have a shield that can easily shrug that off!'
*Destroyer shot bounces*
Terminator 1: 'Wow, these things are stupid good. Why don't we just put these on our vehicles so they don't get destroyed all the time?' Terminator 2: 'They are rare and sacred artifacts! Plus, few know how make them anymore...' Terminator 1: 'But we could just take it apart to see how it works!' Terminator 2: 'Nope, no can do.' Terminator 1: 'But why?! We're the Imperium! Surely someone out there can figure out how to unscrew the damn thing, and we have like a million worlds if we need the resources!' Terminator 2: 'Nope, sorry. Besides, they're not really that great...' Librarian Termie: 'Hey guys, Tzeentch tried to make my brain explode earlier when I tried a psychic power. Good thing I had this shield eh?'

When exiting an assault from a landraider they lean against the door and open it just as they come to a sudden stop.

a rhino drives towards a ork advance, it stops, and a unit of tactical marines disembark.
marine #1 : "lets go squad! lets kill these orks"
marine sargeant : "not yet soldier, we cant move because the rhino moved"
marine #2 : thats stupid, why?
marine sargeant : "well we gotta make it fair dont we?"
marine #3 : *facepalm*

"...After years of development and scientific breakthroughs our warriors go to war. With a sword."
wait wat?
"Plasma Cannon: Plasma technology is rare and highly destructive, for both the enemy and the wielder. 'Bolts' of pure plasma explode upon impact with the fury of a supernova, scythingg through steel, flesh and bone as if it were nothing". A supernova has temperatures up to 500000000°C- at this temperature carbon fusion occurs. S7 AP2 "gets hot"

"...After years of development and scientific breakthroughs our warriors go to war. With a sword." it's a big galaxy out there - a sword may be the best way to go against some enemies... then again, what are you going to have the astartes do against tyranids when they run out of ammo? hit them with the butt of their bolter? it's not like they're going to parry very well with a combat knife. Come now, they're waxing poetic. if you're going to throw temperatures at us, then I'll throw this at you... Ranges of Plasma (from wikipedia) Plasma comes in a huge variety of temperatures and forms, from the little plasma ball lamps you may have seen to lightning to the core of our sun. If it was actually shooting the "fury of a supernova", the bolt would be shot, and the entire battlefield would incinerate. As for gets hot, this could be some delicate part of the weapon breaking down, it literally over heating, or simply refusing to fire. Remember, the victim has to take an armor save, and if he makes it, he gets to fire it next round! If he fails, then maybe it exploded, melted down, simply broke and he needs to run the device back to a techmarine... Use a little imagination... a rhino drives towards a ork advance, it stops, and a unit of tactical marines disembark. marine #1 : "lets go squad! lets kill these orks" marine sargeant : "not yet soldier, we cant move because the rhino moved" marine #2 : thats stupid, why? marine sargeant : "well we gotta make it fair dont we?" marine #3 : *facepalm* no no no... A rhino full of tactical marines bursts from cover, driving at full speed towards the ork lines. inside, the sergeant and his men check their bolters, pray to their machine spirits, and ensure they have plenty of ammo, all the while glad their magna-locks on their boots hold them fast to the deck. Debating the tactical advantage of getting some shots off into the orks early vs. having the squad fully ready to charge into the advancing horde, the sergeant sees Brother IGots Theflamer. "You're out the door first, we'll burn these greenskins down!" The interior door is opened and the boarding ramps are down before the pilots slew the rhino into position. Precious moments are lost as the Marines climb out, and Brother Theflamer shoulders his way into position. "For the Emperor! FIRE!", yells the sergeant... The greenskins, realizing that the rhino isn't going to go plowing into their lines, charge into the maelstrom of imperial fire, intent on shedding blood. vs. "let them blunt their claws on the hide of this blessed tank, brothers. Arm yourselves for assault." The rhino pauses as the Marines stow bolters and pull their pistols. The ork battlecry is heard through the adamantine hull of the rhino, and the brothers inside hear the rattles, bangs and scrapes as the orks try to bash their way inside. Fully prepared, the doors of the rhino open and the Astartes charge forth...

'Ok Marines, as your commander I- OH NOES A DARK LANCE AT STR8!'
*is hit by the lance in the leg*
'NOO I'M INSTANTLY AND HORRIBLY KILLED CURSE MY T4'
'Dur, hey muhrines, Ogrun Bone'ead Bert here, repotin' for-'
*Is shot in the face by a Dark Lance*
'Owie! Hope they dun not do that two mur times, or I'd die! Gud fing I'm T5!'
Because it doesn't matter where you get hit, if you work out a little you suddenly become three times as durable to anti-tank weaponry.
