Laced Records has announced two vinyl records in production for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine soundtracks following their collaboration with Games Workshop. Laced Records, no strangers to video game soundtracks already having worked on bringing the soundtracks of games such as Runescape and Doom to vinyl, will be creating a double deluxe vinyl for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and a deluxe triple vinyl for Dawn of War II.
For Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, renowned composer duo Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan have crafted an expansive impassioned score inspired by Space Marine’s stunning cinematic visuals and intuitive gameplay. Channeling the epic scale of this scifi fantasy, the score features orchestral compositions and modern filmic music production. Included are 19 tracks from the original game and four bonus tracks (listed below) across two blue and white vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
The Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine vinyl will ship in March 2019 and will cost € 33 | $ 35.
Virtual orchestra maestro Doyle W. Donehoo composed the original score for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, the sci-fi fantasy strategy game set in the bleak, sombre distant future of the year 40,000 with the galaxy torn under endless war. Donehoo explains, “Unlike other music genres, music for video games, TV and movies enjoy an entertaining symbiosis with visuals, dialogue and sound effects. They all work together to produce something greater than the sum of their parts. It is a privilege to score for the vast Warhammer 40,000 universe with its broad strokes of emotions and endless warfare. It begs for huge themes and high drama, and that is what I strove to deliver for Warhammer 40,000; Dawn of War II”
Included are 31 tracks curated by the composer and the Games Workshop team (listed below) across three mint vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
The Dawn of War II vinyl will ship in March 2019 and will cost € 45 | $ 50.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
"the play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king,
...Is there much of a projected overlap between people who want to own the soundtrack to 40k videogame soundtracks and DJs and the small record player owners community?
Being both a pretty serious {video/war/board}gaming nerd, and being a pretty big music snob with a decent record collection, I don't understand these sort of things.
None of the advantages of records- prestige, texture, the artifact, how it ages with time, etc., really overlap with a sound track where you're usually looking for something seamless, not something you need to flip every 1/2 hour or w/e.
With digital tech making variously more dynamic mixing etc. better, really the only connection is in collection itself. I guess there might be an overlap there, but, despite my minis case of favorites and my record collection being within about 10' of each other, I think the closest thing to a thematic overlap is my Electric Lady vinyl on the wall.
A lot of vinyl is collected rather than listened to... I have Iron Maiden picture discs that will never be opened, let alone listened too... The rest of my vinyl I do listen to though.
But anyway, depending on how nice these are they might be of interest to 40k collecters, video gamers and vinyl enthusiasts.
Movie and tv soundtracks are getting popular on vinyl (my local friendly music shop sells loads of them) these days so why not dip a toe into the market and see what happens... I'll stick to rock and metal though.
Earache have reissued all their Bolt Thrower releases on vinyl, though Realm of Chaos has new artwork. They only had leased the image from GW for 20 years, so either GW didn't want it used again or Earache didn't want to spend the money. The new art isn't bad. I might upgrade my CD copy at some stage.
Pretty sure their nonEarache releases are also available on vinyl. They would be a decent selling band in that genre of metal.
They need the soundtrack from Epic: Final Liberation. When I think of awesome 40k music, it brings me back to my youth. Just the main theme screams 40k.
"By this point I'm convinced 100% that every single race in the 40k universe have somehow tapped into the ork ability to just have their tech work because they think it should."
If they stick to just the game soundtracks, that'll be GW actually releasing GOOD music for once...
I jest, I've met Bolt Thrower a few times and they're top blokes.
That new cover art for Realm of Chaos is excellent. You could easily imagine that being a rejected GW concept at some point (which I imagine is the whole point).
Also Re: The Necromunda trailer music, I stumbled into a treasure trove of "free" use music a few years back on Youtube and Soundcloud. It's basically music produced for others to use as long as credit is given with no hard licensing fees or anything. And I have to admit that as a somewhat serious musician (ie: I'm serious about it, not that I actually do it as a career or make money out of it (perish the thought!)) it's a weirdly fascinating little rabbit hole.

it suddenly dawned on us that this wasn't the same local company I met with 13 years beforehand.We were hit with a barrage of legal letters, cease and desist and copyright infringment claims.It was as if the company in its new corporate form had never heard of us, accusing us of theft of their highly prized copyrighted art in the first place

They're not, really (depending how narrowly you define it). Much is the shame of it. Super-nice characters. Even if it took a decade of emails to put them on a show
