Theme song!

[Kakapo42]

You are aware of what that song is about, right? If anything that one's going to be an Emperor's Children theme...

On another note: what is it with gamers and metal? If I was making a 40K movie, there would not be any metal on the soundtrack, it would be completely inappropriate. And if I get to have music while I'm gaming, I'd rather have something relaxing. Metal has its place but come on folks, it's a bit too situational to try to pretend there's an appropriate metal track for each 40K race, no? Or any 40K race, for that matter...

I feel like I'm talking to the me of 15 years ago here. God I was an idiot.

Now, to be fair, metal is a VERY broad genre, and there are many, many, many, many different kinds of metal (there are also many many many kinds of rock as well, but that may or may not be relevant here). While I do agree that there are more than a few sorts of metal that wouldn't be appropriate to 40k, there are other kinds, such as symphonic metal, that would be much more fitting, in my opinion at least.

Funnily enough, every time I've been in a Games Workshop store there has always been some sort of metalic song on in the background. Maybe that has something to do with it...

It's not as funny with the new codex, but Street Spirit by Radiohead used to be highly apt for the Necrons.

"Fade out again..."

[MyNameDidntFit]

Every time I play against Necrons I go back about 16 years for a bit of Mechanical Man from C&C.


For my own Guard, though, there are just so many options... I just have a playlist that's running from my phone to the one earphone I keep in while playing of various orchestral and symphonic metal tracks.

[TheDungen]

Not a metal song for each army? I'll rise to that challange! (and that without picking a single Metallica song)

Blood Angels: Blood Red Skies ( I cant explain it i've always imaigned Baal with red skies)
Chaos Demons: Progenies of the great apocalypse - Dimmu Borgir (Any blackmetal or doom metal would work)
Chaos Space marines: Dawn of Battle - Manowar (its about killing and enslaving, do i need to explain myself?)
Dark Eldar: Mr Torture - Helloween (its about a guy selling pain to bored people, he'd be all the rage in the dark city)
Eldar: Living in Victory - Hammerfall (Relating to the fall)
Grey Knights: The Devil went down to Georgia - Steve Ouimette (some guy who just happens to own the **** out of the devil yep he must be a grey knight)
Imperial Guard: Longest day - Iron maiden (though paschendale is a close second)
Valhallan Ice Warriors: Talvisota - Sabaton (change all refrences to stalin and russia to more 40k like equilients and all of sudden i have a urge to collect ice warriors)
New Necrons: Pharao - Freedom call (Pharo's in space, i thought Stargate had copyright on that stuff)
Old Necrons: New Frontier - Iron Maiden ("a beast made of metal without a soul", sound a bit like a necron)
Orks: Red Devil - Yngwie Malmsteen ("Red wunz go fazter")
Sisters of Battle: Montsegur - Iron maiden ("As we kill them all so god will know his own...")
Dark Angels: Angel of Mercy - Hammerfall (its about a traitor who is forgiven in death)
The Fallen: Dark Wings, Dark Words - Hammerfall (This is what its like when Cypher shows up)
Space Wolfs: Sleipnir - Manowar (one ridiculous norse mythology rip-off for another)
Tau: Final Forture - Helloween ("They try to reach the final fortune as if they knew the final score")
Tyranids: Nightcrawler - Judas Priest (its a lictor, or maybe a genestealer. You could replace it with basically anything by Cannibal Corpse)
Inquisition: cathedral spires - Judas Priest ("Watching a world expire form up in cathedral spires")
Iron Hands: Brothers of metal - Manowar ("steel is strongest so say we all" is kinda like "flesh is weak")
Thousand sons: - Preminitions of Pain - 3 inches of blood (about a guy who prophesies that his king will be attacked but the king disregard him)

[TheDungen]

It was easier finding songs for your enemy though.

Orks: Destroy the Orcs - 3 Inches of blood
Necrons: Damn the Machine - Gamma Ray
Imperial Guard: 40:1 - Sabaton

[MyNameDidntFit]

Actually, now that I think about it, I think I might make the Warcraft II Human Theme my Guard song of choice...

[Skopey]

Well hey I like Metal so I'l obviously pick mostly metal songs when thinking of certain armies. Makes sense to me. But i also named songs that were not from the Metal genre. When Warhammer had their own record label briefly in the early 90's the bands signed to them were Metal bands. Wraith, D-rok and i think briefly UFO. And yeah I know what the songs about, which is why i said "Dunno why..." :P

A fine choice of music you have there

Blood Red Skies by Judas Priest I never considered for Blood Angels but it seems to fit


For Black Templars I'd go for Chosen Ones by Dream Evil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM_c_avPlx4

That or Crimson Thunder by Hammerfall :P

[Clarkson]

I have always thought that manowar's I believe, fits a perfectly for the Emperor, with his unification of Terra.. sounds like the baby back bs he would say to rouse *his* people into joining his fight to unite the world

I like to use Children of the Revolution by T-Rex for astartes, both loyal and fallen in general.

That is all.

[MajorWesJanson]

For some reason, this music makes me think of Commissar Cain.

Meh I've been playing with the idea to make a speed freaks ork horde i need to orkify red devil:

Bornin' down da avenoe
karboretor'z breathin'
Feel da torqoe pozh on tro
'ear da tirez skreamin'
Pedal to da metal
Drop da klotkh and ron
Now da tirez are bornin'
And da razin' 'az begon
'ear da engine roar
In thiz mean machine
Time standin' still
And My red devil'z flyin'
katch me if ye kan
Foll speed ahead
In thiz red brotal beaoty
Foor 'ondred 'orzez ronnin' wild
zayonara see yer later
Now yer dizappear
In my rear view mirror az I am changin' gear
skreamin' down da boolevard
yer will eat my dozt
Thiz fire breathin' beaoty
I will alwayz trozt
Hear da engine roar
In thiz mean machine
Timez standin' still
And My red devil'z flyin'
katch me if yer kan
Timez standin' still
And My red devil'z flyin'
katch me if yer kan


So what have I missed?

[pinion]

Every time I play my nurgle demons, this goes through my head...


Day-o…me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day-o…me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Kill all night til the mornin’ come
Daylight come and me wan go home
Stack bidies til the mornin’ come
Daylight come and me wan go home
Come, Mr. Tallyman, tally all de bodies
Daylight come and me wan go home
Come, Mr. Tallyman, tally all de bodies
Daylight come and me wan go home

one dead, two dead
Three dead, four
Daylight come
And me wan go home
Five dead, six dead
Count some more

Daylight come and me wan go home
Day-o…me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day-o…me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home

Seven dead, eight
Til my arms are sore
Daylight come and me wan go home
Nine dead, ten dead
Go back for more
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day-o…me say day-o
Daylight come and me w-a-n
G-o h-o-m-e

For my blood angels, I can't go past indestructible by disturbed.
For imperial guard, I like listening to sevendays grace.
And for my Gk...... Austrian death machine FTW!!!!

[Lord_Byron]

For my Dark Eldar I'd say 'Gone Guru' by Lifeseeker, just for sentimental reasons.
