Coincidentally, half of them are named John because management doesn't like memorizing names.
My large lump of IG infantry dont even get names, they get tiny red dots on the bottom of their stands for each battle that they survive and won, and considering that my IG infantry survival rate =20%, there arent that many dots...

"Those are Regulars! By God!" -Major General Phineas Riall
Race:
Eldar
General Tactica:
(Fluff-wise) Commit only when absolutely necessary and when they do they throw everything they have. Mechanised list.
Song & Artist :
Within Temptation, Forsaken:
How that song and artist mesh with your army:
Listen to the lyrics, it's almost as if the song itself were written to refer to The Fall. My Craftworld (made up, named Irun'Mahn) avoid conflict unless it is direly necessary and this kind of matches the protagonists of the song who seem determined to avoid conflict until fate forces them down that path, from which there is no escape. It kind of refers to how the Eldar are ultimately doomed and dying and aim to do what they can to preserve the universe whilst they still exist. Also mentions repressing their baser selves...

I actually do paint the names of my soldiers on the base with a detail brush. It might stop once I get more men though. First name only.
just giving ideas.
any IG army: almost any sabaton song
SM\ BA,ETC. bike army: feuer frei, rammstein
BA jetter: mario level 1-1
tyranids: do the evolution, pearl jam
SM chapters: sons of odin\ warriors of the world, manowar
SM deathwatch theme: destroy the orcs, 3" of blood\ metroid theme
Why the metroid theme? metroid is all about killing aliens. I also like to imagine DW crawling through dark corridors like in metroid
inquisition armies: james bond theme
dark eldar: betrayal, lita ford
drone-heavy tau army: the space sphere screaming "SPPPAAAAAAACCCCE!" in an endless loop.
SPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently the Imperium is ill-equipped for a siege. Therefore I have proposed the development of siege guns, siege tanks, siege rockets, siege armor, siege planes, siege ships, siege wagons, siege bikes, siege boots, siege dogs, siege cats(for the siege rodents), siege eating utensils, siege horses, siege rations, and siege babies. Oh, and siege-spouses, especially of the female variant.
Race: Dark Eldar
General Tactica: Get to the enemy in assault before they get started, gun down remnants
Song and Artist: Anonymous Skulls by Medeski Martin And Wood
How it meshes with my army: The general evil theme totally coincides with Dark Eldar in general, and the psychotic additional parts complement the Dark Eldar's insane attributes - pleasuring pain. The funkiness of the song is also pretty nice
Race: Space Marines
General Tactica: None, I have a pathetic army that always loses Song and Artist: Scorponok by Steve Jablonsky
The best bit's about 2.30 in How it meshes with my army: If you image ranks of Space Marines charging toward the enemy, guns blazing, with this music playing... It's hard not to see how it meshes
My Ultramarines army (strike where the enemy is at the weakest and eliminate target prioritys first):
Breaking benjamin-Blow me away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yHuuBZgif0
Eldar army (mechanised, strike fast and hard, leaving the enemy unable to orchestrate any counter strike) :
Nightwish-Bye bye beautiful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTdhXxxWREo
Warriors of chaos (khorne themed, an army of psychopaths that just advance to the enemy and chop them to pieces):
Slipknot-Psychosocial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOVd2GsYfoA
I've been using the Battlefield 2142 theme alot. Mostly for Angry Marines, though it doesn't quite capture their sheer fury. Maybe screaming "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Would suffise. "CCCCCCKKKKK YOUUUUUUUU!"
YOU ALL! DS:90S++G++MB++I+Pw40k09#+D++A+/eWD-R++T(S)DM+
: ANGRY MARINES! RAGE INFINITE!
Tyr Redfang's Great Company
: The Primal Host- Double as Angry Marines who went to far...
Knights of the Storm (Vanilla Marines) Jack-of-All-Trades
La Resistance (Imperial Guard) Underdogs (as of now, since I have not gotten all the units I need. I certainly hope this is not their 'strength' when I am done with them)
Note: I chose this song because these guys do not oppose the emperor in any way (well, most of them, anyways) and are just standing up to their tyrannical leaders, who work in about the same way the Confederacy does (or maybe more like the dominion...)
My Feral Orks (Orks) Rip 'em ta shreds!
Edit: I've looked at some of the songs other people picked, and geez. Note to self: always look at all the comments before writing your own, lest the music is not as good as it could be.
