* In ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Return of the King]]'', just before the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Théoden gives his "arise, arise, riders of Théoden". The entire army begins then chanting "Death" over and over (even Merry chants it).
** In the book, the "Death" chant appears only at the end of the chapter, just before the corsairs' ships arrive.
** Also the Uruk-Hai at the battle of Helm's Gate. This was a ThrowItIn moment inspired by the bored extras doing it between takes.

* The ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' novel ''The Traitor's Hand'' parodies the Khornites' catchphrase by having someone (mainly Cain) snark back at them whenever they show up (e.g. "Harriers for the Cup!", "Well, he can't have mine" "I'm getting really sick of hearing that").

Also played straight when Cain finds himself (accidentally) leading a squad of men into battle against the heretics and his presence so buoys their morale that they start chanting "Cain! Cain! Cain!" as they go. Cain even theorises that the similarity of the chant to the name of the Khornite's own god may have confused the World Eater Berserker they come across next.
