To name a few.

There's probably also a Sabaton song for every guard-subfaction

I only say no due to the fact that, This song was played non STOP for my unit for two years, at every formation, every dumb ceremony, every stupid oorah fake motivation video. I have a burning hatred for this song. YMMV.

ATTENTION
. Psychic tests are unfluffy. Your longing for AV is understandable but misguided. Your chapter doesn't need a separate codex. Doctrines should go away. Being a "troop" means nothing. This has been a cranky service announcement. You may now resume your regularly scheduled arguing.

I think the "Dumb but tough" song more aptly applies to Space Wolves, or World Eaters. Orks are only dumb by human standards. But remember you are talking about sentient mushrooms that are able to de-construct a tank, and make it fly, or attach it to an asteroid and use that to crash and infest a world. Also, they are able to build and pilot literal titans and warp craft. Lets see the smartest Guardsman on the planet do that.

I was actually thinking of a certain Meredith Brooks song about dichotomy. But maybe that's Celestine's personal walk up. Though the Imperial Propaganda Office would probably swap them so the Everywoman Sisters are menacing, while you end on a high note cheering about the Saints.

While it may not be the correct tone for 40k, I feel like It Wasn’t Me by Shaggy fits Alpharius and Omegon nicely.
