Let's say you have to compose a theme song for each 40k faction for a show or whatever. What would you choose.

Astra Militarum would definitely have a marching song.

Adeptas Sororitas would have an Ancient Hymnal song.

Emperor's Children (WIP) would have a glam rock or heavy metal song.

World Eaters would have a death metal or hardcore punk song.

Adeptus Mechanicus would be Electronica

Space Marines could be Orchestra

Imperial Knights would be Classical Music

Tyranids would sound like something from a slasher film.

Genestealers would be a song that exudes dread or subterfuge.

I'm not sure about the rest.

The Collegio Titanicus would use heavy Taiko drums.

Or just use the Pacific Rim soundtrack.

The Officio Assassinorum would probably just play the Mission: Impossible theme over and over.

Thousand Sons should be "Dust in the Wind," by Kansas.

Really, the whole MGR OST is super Khorne. I think Bladewolf's the only with a theme song that isn't about only being capable of violence.

I would think that the most obvious song belongs to the Salamanders.

Disco Inferno by the Trammps.

I know Sisters get choir and Hymns all the time...

But how about Sinead O'Conor's Lion and the Cobra- songs like Troy and A Drink Before the War have moments of profound rage and woman power.

Also always liked Indestructible by Disturbed for Marines.

Disposable Heroes by Metallica for Guard.

And just a shout out to Sabaton in general.

Dimmu Borgir for Chaos, particularly demon heavy.

Domo Arigoto Mister Roboto for Necrons?

You're not. If you're worried about your opponent using 'fake' rules, you're having fun the wrong way. This hobby isn't about rules. It's about buying Citadel miniatures.
