->It was true they could die. It was true this was a fight to the death. However... this fight lacked the same crushing urgency as a true [Battle].\\
It was too fair. In a real battle, you didn't choose the perfect chess maneuver. You moved all of your pieces as fast as possible without any regard for the other player's turn. The fundamental unfairness of it was the point. You crushed their options with your own onslaught. The goal of battle preparation was to have an unfair advantage.

Some fights you just didn't want to get into and landing the first blow on an unaware enemy was often key to winning hard fights. Sure backstabbing and underhanded tactics made you look like a complete and utter bastard to more honorable folk but really who the hell was complaining?''

->''"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!"''
-->-- '''Jago Sevatarion, First Captain of the Night Lords Space Marine Legion''', ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''
