All that Chaos graffiti in Darktide really does mean something.

"FOP [sic] THE DARK GODS,""DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR,""Rapid Regeneration"Other graffiti is written using the runes that refer to mutations and gifts of the gods, and those seem more randomly chosen. En route to primary control in the map Relay Station TRS-150 are runes for several of the gifts servants of Chaos can receive: tentacles, pin head, and irrational hatred.

Some graffiti that isn't written in the Dark Tongue is an easter egg for players coming from Vermintide. It's the triangular symbol of the Horned Rat, which the skaven do seem to like scrawling on every available surface, even in games they're not in.The medicae servitors of Tertium Hive get some of Darktide's best lines, morosely begging to be taken with you and bemoaning their lack of purpose after their charges are used up.

That's a reference to witch hunter Victor Saltzpyre's immortal line,"Holy Sigmar, bless this ravaged body," which became something of a meme after its use in the original Vermintide, and was brought back for the sequel due to fan demand. I've even seen it on a T-shirt available from wish dot com of all the places.

As the Graia Mk VIII's description notes, it's a weapon"in short supply after a series of calamities befell the forge world of Graia", which is certainly one way of summing up the events of Space Marine.There's a plentiful selection of tattoos to choose from when designing your character, some with appropriate slogans like"DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR.

The only time I've seen this phrase mentioned in connection with Warhammer 40,000 is in the first book in the Ciaphas Cain series,, where it's the name of a song being sung by Amberley Vail when Cain meets her—one of several"old sentimental favourites" she sings. Guess it's still popular after all these years.On the subject of music, Zealot Preachers will occasionally burst into song mid-mission.
