[40K] Lyrics to the Ultramarine Chant?

Recently i've been listening to the awesome music from this Newgrounds animation. It's apparently from the game 'Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate' and i'm sure it could be downloaded from something like Limewire. By searching for 'warhammer'. If one were so inclined. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out what they're chanting, and google has been of surprisingly little help. So far i've got:

Agitatis Ultramarini,
Dominitis Ultramarini.


Presumably this simply means more-or-less 'Rise to action Ultramarines! Dominate them Ultramarines!' in Latin. I don't know if the grammar is right.

Also, in between the 'loud verses' there's an underlying chanting that i can't make out. So far i've got (phonetically):

Shim tomane ate sim
Kima sim arate sim


Anybody know Latin or have any ideas?

Your translation seems pretty good on the top. The second verses, however, are not Latin. Perhaps they're Gothic/High Gothic?

Do you mean in the song or in my post? The second ones are a weak phonetic interpretation, e.g. i originally thought 'Agitatis Ultramarini' sounded like 'Au shitati ol dramanini'. If it's ambiguous, a->father, e->red, i->read/pin, o->old/order, u->boom/could. 'Agitate', 'dominate' and 'ultramarine' can be heard from normal English, but i can't hear any words to fit into the second verses' sounds.

I was talking about

Shim tomane ate sim
Kima sim arate sim
That's definently not Latin. You seem to have correctly translated the other part, though.

He may be mishearing, or not have the syllables in the the proper order. IE: "Shim tomane ate sim" could be "Shimto man neate sim"
