For either Imperial Space Marines or Imperial Guard: Mountain of Power Procession by Basil Poledouris.

Whenever I listen to that song, I think of some military parade involving either one of the above factions. So freaking cool.

yeah! that's a nice one!

In response to soooo much nightwish....

It's the only thing strong enough to kill that much false metal. The only redeeming things in that list are Amon Amarth and Rhapsody. the IG and Tyranids are good picks on that list too

Says the one linking to THAT trash. The opening was just obnoxious to listen to, and it didn't get better after that. Nightwish is at least pleasant to listen to; the one you linked to is one of the worst metal pieces I've ever heard.

Sorry if there are any repeats. Hard to keep track with so many posts.

Inquisition, etc.: Nile - Cast Down the Heretic (just ignore the whole Egyptian thing...)

WFB trolls: Finntroll - Trollhammeren

TH/SS Termies: Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face

Black Templars: Iced Earth - The Reckoning

Tau: Korpiklaani - Rise (the whole elemental thing with the castes)

Necron: Powerman 5000 - Son of X-51
Kevorkian Death Cycle - Static

Space Wolves: Amon Amarth - take your pick (although I suggest Cry of the Blackbirds or Twilight of the Thundergod)

Since everyone knows Tau are communists (so wish I had my Tau communism picture), I vote "Mother Russia" for Tau. =P

Hahahah, I do love my nightwish. If we go to manowar lets go this way:

If we go the shreddy way lets just skip straight to Van Halen

Its so sad when no one appreciates the value of great music....


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Die Walkure wins over all. I think that song alone should just theme all of warhammer 40k. The entire opera. all hour and five minutes of it.

For any battle involving humans, IG/SM "Journey to the line" by Hans Zimmer seems to fit well with me. Especially the idea of the Dawn of War deployment.

Here is an edited version.

At 3:50 the battle is about to begin I reckon.

We do, but you don't define great music for us, only yourself

Word Bearers-Or really any of the traitor legions: Deify, Disturbed.

Even if you don't like the band (can't really say I'm a fan myself), just read the lyrics to see why I chose it

I've read a lot of people mention "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, linking mostly to the Space Marines.
Personally (And although of course this is a single unit and not a chapter) I'd say that track would really fit a Dreadnaught specifically or even Chaos Oblitoraters. Yeah!

Tocatta in D for the SoB. I once saw an exorcist (I think....), the one with the pipe organs that shoot missiles. For those of you who don't know your classical music,Tocatta in D is the one traditionally associated with Phantom of the Opera.

I think this video speaks (or sings) for itself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcQH3KOLWBM

I must do this with my monolith

Dark Angels - Opus Nocturne by Marduk.


Khorne CSM - World Eater by Bolt Thrower.

Hahah I hate Ke$ha, but love Slaanesh.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivxt2Pt4AI8 Szamar Madar for my Noise Marines, though I wonder now about Dark Eldar, or possibly Harlequinns.

Tau: Human After All (or Robot Rock depending on the number of Crisis suits )

Dark Eldar- Run to the Hills:

He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Nom nom nom- Tyriands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMWi7CLoZ2Q LOL

I listen to hardcore punk and when i hear this song i think of CSM!!! mainly kharn!

Every time Slaanesh does something immoral, Ke$ha kills a puppy.

Hahahah that has to be sigged.

I just thought, that's a lot of dead puppies. A LOT. RSPCA where are you?!?

Let's see. . .
IG= War Machine (AC/DC)
SM= Hallls of Montezuma (Cookie for anyone who gets this)
Goffs= Back in Black (AC/DC)
Slaanesh= Rockstar (Nickleback)
Tau= Boom Boom Pow (Black Eyed Peas)

And I'll think of more later.

Sob= Soul Sister- Train

Orks- Drowning Pool "Let the bodies hit the floor!"

I never really got the whole metal thing in regards to 40k, although I was never a great fan in the first place.

For Tyranids I'd go with something slightly ambient, Swamp Cult by Aklo or similar.
Sisters of Battle I'd agree with Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.
Maybe Danse Macabre for Necrons, something with a creepy edge to it, instead of the tradition electronica and so on.
Halls of the Mountain King might work for the very tense, epic moments as a whole as well.
