Sorry Miguelsan.. The great firewall of China says NO to youtube.
Question, are you Japanese Japanese or foreigner in Japan? Just curious how many Japanese Japanese play 40k. I myself am a foreigner in China, i know of no locals who play.

Foreigner.
There are a few Japanese players but I guess not that many.

lol, I saw Foreigner and thought you were advocate their music... THAT would be funny.

One time at our GW we let customers decide what music to put in, and someone brought in 'The 5678's'.

This was the first song on the CD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD-DsvfbatM

And thus ended that experiment.

Forever alone

Death metal (or metal of any kind) is crap battle music. You want something dramatic, something that evokes images of war in all its stages. I recommend the Dawn of War soundtrack (hell, it's a 40k game; of course it has a fitting soundtrack!), as well as things like LotR, which has some great battle scenes and the music to fit.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

How far is Da Qing from Beijing, there's a good scene there. I can hook you up or you can ask on the Beijinger boards.

Total sympathy for anyone behind the great firewall though when I was there I note that it did not stop bit torrent...

Which I only tested to see if it would work. Really. Honest.

My recommendation the 3 Mortal Kombat sound tracks, Manowar, Akira soundtrack.

If you're looking to get a little bit away from the metal/orchestral thing, you could try Sunny Day Real Estate. Their debut album Diary is pretty epic in scope and rocks out pretty good. Don't let the fact that it's considered one of the two most influential albums on emo (along with Weezer's Pinkerton) to fool you.




I'd also recommend Neon Bible by Arcade Fire for epic, "big" rock music.

Get your hands on the sound tracks for the Battlestar Galatica series.

About 2/3rds of all the songs are suitable for war.

Especially things like 'Storming New Caprica', 'Something Dark is Coming', 'Scar', 'The Signal', 'Roslin Escapes', 'Precipice' and 'Baltar's Sermon'.

Get the lot, make a playlist of all the aggressive stuff, murder your enemies.

"Our solemn hour" by Within Temptation is pretty epic. Also, try "Immortal" by Adema, or "Deify" by Disturbed if it's Chaos V Imperium.

What about MUSE? They have several songs that also belong to the genre of "big" rock music. By the way, I like the 5678's

Under your bathroom sink...

Either the DOW2 soundtrack (which is AWESOME!) or something like Disturbed. Indestructible is a pretty good war song. Its not heavy metal or anything, but the words fit quite well. Most of the recent Disturbed songs infact are pretty good battle music... They urge you to put them on while playing an fps... Also the Muse Exogenesis tracks would work a treat, especially the first one, which would suit chaos/deamons fine. It's actually slightly disturbing tbh! Got a great armageddon theme...

I have a huge playlist for gaming, notable composers:

Hans Zimmer
James Horner
Craig Armsrong
Jeremy Soule
Garry Schyman
Johnny Greenwood
Anne Dudley
even some Danny Elfman.

Stick with them and you'll find some of the most sweeping epic movie music to be had, and it works well for a backdrop for tabletop gaming.

sweet recommendations guys. Had a good game yesterday.
2200 points, 2v1, IG + Orks vs Eldar. Sick of their meddling girly hands! close game, even though he misdeployed we still came close to losing. Gargh need transports for my vets. I lost everyone but a sentinel and 3 stormtroopers. but my Ork compadre had more objectives on his side, thanks to some lucky roles from his BigMek which got charged by harlequins and passed his KFF test nearly every time.

In your squads, doing the chainsword tango

Anything by Gravediggaz or Wu Tang- especially GZA and RZA. Pit of snakes is great for epic melee's


and you could never turn down "still"


Fighting with Titans requires John Barry's (the guy who did the James Bond and a bunch of other famous scores) "The Lion in the Winter"- it only really works with Titans though (or massively oversized armoured columns )


Perth band "Pendulum" released a remix to the A(ustralian)BC news theme remix - its pretty hilariously epic

The Mortal Kombat movie soundtracks get a lot of play at gaming sessions here.

As does Rammstein, The Star Wars soundtracks, the Starship Troopers sountrack, and the Killer Instinct game soundtrack for Heroquest...

Burzum - Filosofem, Daudi Baldrs... pretty much anything Det Som Engang Var or later.

Also... Manowar (already mentioned), Bolt Thrower (again mentioned), Alestorm (mentioned), Swashbuckle... or Wagner's "Ring Cycle"

Depends on what sort of backdrop you want for your game of toy soldiers... sometimes I listen to the cardigans or the sugarcubes while playing 40k.
