Also? Not entirely background, but at the same time head canon background.
How Wee Me first saw Necromunda when it first released and really, really, really got into the campaign system and its sheer possibilities.
Fellow Whovians to whom Sylvester McCoy will always be their Doctor might see the correlation twixt this song, the promise of Paradise Towers, Paradise Towers Actual and indeed Necromunda.

Not that anyone has read the background yet? But with The Lion returning, and Him being Primarch of the Legion/Primarch I’ve adored since…well….before some of you young whippersnappers have done an exist?
M42, The Lion sets about his business, and Abaddon besmirches his pantaloons.

I posted this in the 'Specific intro/walk-up music for every faction' thread, but it was actually meant to go in this one. Hence the high level of camp. Naturally I couldn't find this thread until right after posting in the other one ...
Anyway, here's the Tyrannic Wars musical number!
Spoiler:
It is well known that psychic contact with the Tyranid hive mind can drive a human insane.
It is less well known that this happens because the hive mind is playing a parody version of a Village People song on a loop.
Nom nom, nom nom, nom nom, nom nom
TOGETHER
We will eat our way
TOGETHER
To Terra someday
TOGETHER
Your mind in my mind
TOGETHER
Evolution is not blind
TOGETHER
Across stars so bright
TOGETHER
Stab and spit and bite
TOGETHER
Multiply anew
TOGETHER
This is what we'll do
GO WEST
Life is tasty there
GO WEST
Give them all a scare
GO WEST
Get the guys in blue
GO WEST
This is what we're gonna do
[Norn Queen solo] Go west! This is what we're gonna do! Ohh yeah!
TOGETHER
From the fringes east
TOGETHER
We shall spawn and feast
TOGETHER
Make new forms of life
TOGETHER
Spread panic and strife
I AM YOU
I know you are me
I STEER YOU
How could you disagree?
SO THAT'S WHY
You make no protest
WHEN I SAY
You will feed the nest
GO WEST
Eat the galaxy
GO WEST
Every bird and tree
GO WEST
Plenty more to chew
GO WEST
Dine out somewhere new
GO WEST
We shall hibernate
GO WEST
New broods to gestate
GO WEST
Till we reach that star
GO WEST
Our delicious new snackbar
[further lyrics redacted by order of the Inquisition]
Nom nom, nom nom, nom nom, nom nom
GO WEST!
... I can only assume that I woke up this morning with this song in my head because I stayed up late last night undercoating Tyranids and forgot to open a window to clear the paint fumes.

As recorded under Imperial Record Sixty-Three Nineteen, of the 63rd Fleet's ensuing meet and greet with the False Emperor of Mankind, on his baseless claim and treacherous deeds therein:
We move through the void of space to Sixty Three Nineteen where the 63rd Expedition fleet await the outcome of Hastur Sejanus' meeting with 'The Emperor'.

Yes its a fan song but I genuinely unironically enjoy it.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.
