This may just be me, but I doubt it. What song gets you guys into the head space to hobby/paint/whatever? Do different songs work for different things? As an example, this song right here never fails to get me into a painting mood.

I'm currently listening to Macdonnell on the Heights by Stan Rodgers [and painting 25 pdr and 6 pdr guns and crews].

It largely has nothing to do with miniatures, but I listen to an assortment of other songs I like while painting. I recently found a very pretty rendition of The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond that I like, and there's some people who composed musical arrangement for JRR Tolkien's poems I like too.

Guardsmen, hear me! Cadia may lie in ruin, but her proud people do not! For each brother and sister who gave their lives to Him as martyrs, we will reap a vengeance fiftyfold! Cadia may be no more, but will never be forgotten; our foes shall tremble in fear at the name, for their doom shall come from the barrels of Cadian guns, fired by Cadian hands! Forward, for vengeance and retribution, in His name and the names of our fallen comrades!

Music makes me hard to focus on anything else. I do listen to stuff like 10 hours rain, 10 hours waterfall or 10 hours thunerstorm. Helps me when am at our store too. don't have to focus on all the people.

When tinkering with Ad Mech as a side project you can't beat the soundtrack to the Ad Mech game - which is really quite good by the way, having completed it.

Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you.

The dudespeople I'm currently working on are heavily inspired by the Kronstadt Rebellion and various miscellany from Russian/Soviet history, so any vaguely Russian or even Slavic works.

I listen to a lot of Kino, Zvuki Mu, Alisa and the Red Army Choir. Sometimes Nikita, but I'm not happy admitting that, honestly. Just recently I've been listening to a lot of Slavic folk music too, specifically 'The Bogatyr'. It means 'Knight-Errant' and it's got good 'chug'.

Usually I'd put Bob Ross in the background so I feel like I have a mentor to help me paint, but if not its something from Queen's last album such as Going slightly mad, Ride the wild wind or Days of our lives...Oh, an episode of Highlander ( or the Raven ) usually works too.

Sometimes...just sometimes I need to haul ass and finish up for the evening...

Yeah, Faith No More kicks ass. I like Opeth too.

Indestructible by Disturbed is a good war tune. My campaign is set on an agriworld, and I was considering modelling up a Thresher gang, so I've been big on Metallica Harvester of Sorrow.

Pantera's Cowboys from Hell is the Kellermorph's personal themesong.

Any sleazy sex drugs and rock and roll 80's band works for slaanesh, though NIN is a good fit here too. Little Alice in Chains.

Rebel and cultist games go well with Rage Against the Machine.

Don't have didcated painting music though...
