We haven't had a music thread in awhile to my knowledge. Rules. Identify a song to a specific 40k army or faction, no Warhammer music like H.M. Kids.

Space Wolves:



Black Templars:

Dark Angels:



Imperial Guard:



Adeptus Astra Telepathica:

Blood Angels or World Eaters:

Necrons has to be...
Tubthumping by Chumbawamba

"I get knocked down, but I get up again.." Haha

Take bonus points for linking the NOIR sound track.

Death Korps of Krieg (or Iron Warriors, this song is perfect for a siege army)



This has been set as the Tanith First and Only's regimental march, but it'd do well for Rough Riders as well.



DKK, Imperial Guard

Check my sig for my Necron example.

I had a friend of mine make a playlist for the Tyranids.

See I think Slayer should be the soundtrack to 40k in general. My buddy and I played through that ps3 Kill Team game blasting a couple slayer albums. That was the first time I played anything 40k, and right after that I wanted to start an army.

Space Wolves




World Eaters



Grey Knigths

"It's a good day to die" from Starship Troopers suits the Guard really well. Mentions an eagle and dying and everything. All you have to do is replace "Federation" with "Imperium".

Space Wolves:

Spoiler:

lol no. Hammerfall and basically every other power metal band out there is Eldar music for being the most flowery army in the game. Having "wolf" in the song title doesn't make it Space Wolf music.

This is Space Wolf music:





Also some other armies' music like Necrons:



and a song that just screams Chaos Space Marine music:

I dunno...this sounds wolfy to me.



I keep thinking of necrons whenever I hear this. I guess it could work for exterminatus as well, but I think it favors crons a bit more.



This is totally Black Templars

Well, Grand Magus isn't power metal either. But either way when I listen to stuff like this:

Heh, good point

I would say Tarot might be good for Space Wolves, but they are a bit too...dark. They fit Chaos a bit better, imo.





Don't even get me started on WASP; that's slaanesh through and through



Speaking of slaanesh, here's Doomrider's favorite song.

While I sat and painted I remembered this song, and thought it would fit a traitor guard army very well. More specific a blood pact army.



And this for my Dark Angels .

Y'all are doing the easy ones. Let's see a Raven Guard song.

Not that I can seem to get embedding working properly from here, but:

Serious answer - Iron Maiden - Aces High
Comedy answer - Pointer Sisters - Jump (For My Love)

And a challenge of my own... someone find something for the Astral Claws...

Dang, so many videos it's lagging my browser. But I must save them all for future reference because 90% sound awesome...

This song sprung into my head immediately, not sure who would use it though. It's definitely a chaos space marine chapter, the "your god sent us to destroy" line could be talking about the Emperor. World Eaters maybe?



Legio Titanicus (there's some similarities there):



I will take the challenge to find one for Tau. This won't be easy.

Well, I give up. I couldn't find what I wanted (bamboo flute over hard dance) so I'll settle for this.

You guys sure do listen to a lot of metal.

Elysian Drop Troops:




Oh and CthulhusSpy, I think Doomrider would prefer this one

Something thats not metal



Imperial Navy





Catachan



For 40k as a whole

I don't do much metal for my armies, but for my Tau I have a few selections, that help put me in the right frame of mind.

Inspiration for my tau




Akira always has a nice vibe to it.




And a Little tron love for the more futuristic bent, of the Tau.


My Orks..speed freaks all the way.




And my Marines Malevolent..




And my Elysian-ish Airmobile troops.




and of course this old chestnut...

For me, Tau music is just about anything from Mirror's Edge. Calm, tranquil pieces interspersed with tinny, beat-heavy electronica. Try this:

This could also work for Fire-Tau;




Or this for Raven Guard;



Astral Claws;



Despite the Serbian performers and almost cheerful timbre, this is actually a Macedonian song about a witch who built their castle out of young men and women!

Night Lords, or Noise Marines (when they're not busy with the dub step)

Nice call on the Tau suggestions. I will have to buy the Tron and/or Mirror's Edge (always wanted to play that game, never got around to it) soundtracks for painting music.

Here's one more for Noise Marines. This is the most ridiculous over the top noise metal type song I have in my collection. I'm not sure it's the hardest song per say, but it's the one that sounds the most like noise to me. Got to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy it:

I just heard "Down with the Sickness" (Disturbed) and thought of a Nurgle army.

So I've been thinking of some Eldar ones...

Iyanden:

What's on the battlefield? Ghosts 'N' Stuff.




Biel Tan:

Blades of Fury is as close to Swordwind (or Tempest of Blades) that I could find!




Saim Hann:

Couldn't resist!




Ulthwe:

(This one even has the line "Just let me know, where we go after the fall" )




Alaitoc:

So many on the Path of the Outcast
