Fans of Warhammer 40K are enthusiastically praising the pre-battle dialogues in Space Marine 2, which many describe as “hype af.”
During the story campaign of Space Marine 2, players are treated to numerous instances of pre-fight banter.
At times, Astartes battle brothers engage in lively banter about the glorious combat ahead. In other moments, leaders from the Ultramarines or Cadian forces deliver inspiring pep talks to rally their soldiers before they charge into battle.
This dialogue consistently stands out, as soldiers invoke their loyalty by “Praising the Emperor” while relishing the opportunity to vanquish “Tyranid scum.”
Players have eagerly shared their favorite exchanges, with one TikTok user, SpectreX Gaming, captioning a post, “The pre-battle speeches in this game are hype af.”
The attached video features a Cadian 8th commander rallying his troops with a declaration that his regiment comprises the “most fearsome, tenacious, and relentless bloody men and women that ever crossed the stars!”

He further emphasizes that despite the destruction of their home, Cadia, they fight on for the Imperium and are willing to lay down their lives in service to the Holy Emperor. This powerful speech is met with roaring approval.
Responses to the original TikTok post prompted the TikToker to highlight a later scene where Titus and his comrades pursue Chaos Space Marines with the aid of a Dreadnought. After defeating a Helbrute, the Dreadnought’s mechanical voice inquires about Traitors, urging Titus to “Lead [him] to the slaughter.”
Many users commented that these engaging dialogue exchanges have convinced them to invest in Space Marine 2.
Fans on the Steam Community forums shared their favorite lines as well. One highlighted the irony of, “The only thing that can stand a chance of beating a Space Marine, is another Space Marine; thus we can never be beaten.”
Another user noted the peculiarity of a character proclaiming, “only in death does duty end,” followed by “even in death, I still serve.”
The expansive lore of Warhammer 40K is filled with quotes that present wild platitudes, humorous ironies, and rich insights that capture its grimdark ambiance. It’s clear that Space Marine 2 manages to encapsulate all of these elements and more.
