Heaven forbid someone who runs a wargaming website to be playing the games instead of staring at a computer screen for eight hours a day posting things that people just bitch and moan about anyway.

You guys are wayhayhaaay behind lately. I mean the actual army books have reached the stores via black box and you're still getting names wrong in some of your other posts. I just don't get it.

SKT · 2 months ago

I would like to start by saying I think both are great looking, I prefer the Bell over the catapult, and again these are far superior to the recent space wolf sculpts, I may have to start Skaven now.....................
On a separate note in a post about a week ago I talked about making a 40k mix cd/playlist and I have a tentative version now, and am looking for a bit of review/sugestions...... after I get this done comes a fantasy CD..........

Finisterra- Mago De Oz............ Space Marines
Achilles Last Stand-Led Zeppelin.............IG
The Zephyr Song-Red Hot Chili Peppers.......Tau (this one I'm not very happy with)
Holy Wars... The Punishment Due-Megadeth.......... Inquisition
Sign Of the Hammer-Manowar................ Daemons
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns-Iron Maiden............. Chaos Marines
Electric Funeral-Black Sabbath................. Necrons
Painkiller-Judas Priest................ Dark Eldar
Bad Moon Rising-Credence Clearwater Revival.............. Orks
The Great Sun Jester-Blue Oyster Cult.................... Eldar
Harvester Of Sorrow-Metallica................ Tyranids (Don't like this too much either)

Notice how there is a Necron & Dark Eldar song

I know this is a fantasy topic, but I will post a fantasy CD when I have this done, I do play fantasy too, and like the new Skaven models a hell of a lot

So if anyone has sugestions or corrections for the playlist I'm open to them, mind you I'm not the kind of person who thinks death metal fits all races personalities.

Thomas Eady · 2 months ago

if you are going to do this try and do it in spotify so you can share it with the big wide world

SKT · 2 months ago

If you tell me what spotify is and its legal than I'm all for it

Gustav · 2 months ago

Any metal oriented 40k list must include Orion by Metallica, and it seems the lads over at youtube sure like Dream Evil's Chosen Ones for space marines. I am fond of a more electronic feel via Frontline Assembly and pre -94 Delerium.

I wonder if we'll get people telling you it all sucks. Can we skip that part??!

Anggul · 2 months ago

For Tau:

'Honor' by 'Atreyu'

Tyranids:

'End of all hope' by 'Nightwish'

My favourite Eldar one ever:

'Falling Down' by 'Atreyu'

SKT · 2 months ago

I like the song Falling Down, but I don't think it captures the mystical softer side of the eldar, End Of All Hope has heavy music, but a soft voice which does not fit in my opinion the tyranids who I think should start off slow and cresendo into something that sounds chaotic which is what I'm still trying to find, again I like the band Atreyu but I deffinently think it does not fit for tau, sure the lyrics fit but it does not have the asian feel to it and needs to be much more calm................................................... In saying all this I am very happy that I am getting suggestions

In response to Gustav, I like orion and was looking to incorperate it
I looked for a long time at dreamevil and man o war, and decided, Chosen Ones should be saved for fantasy where it seems to apply more and has a slightly lighter feel, I have never heard of Frontline Assembly, but I like it, especially Dead Planet, I have also looked at Porcupine Tree.................................... And I do agree with Gustav, if anyone has problems with the whole idea of making an CD like this, keep it to yourself (constructive criticism not criticism)

There is no reason why there can't be variations on this as well, well thanks

Anggul · 2 months ago

I thought you'd think that about the Tau one. I guess I just go against most people's idea of them, after all, most do see them as calm, but I prefer the idea of the Fire caste still having battle honour, like the Japanese troops they're based on.

As for Falling Down, I suppose it's probably more suited to the Dark Eldar, but then, it doesn't feel sadistic enough. It's more describing the in between.

EDIT: Oh yeah and 'Indestructible' by Disturbed for Space Marines.

rileycore · 2 months ago

i like how every whfb post on here has to turn into something about 40k hahaha

If I could have a theme song for my Necrons it would have to be "They're coming to take me away" by Napolean XIV.

So off topic. but so worth responding to. If you want a asiatic feel for a tau song, why not Stand BY Yoko Kanno. It was the opening song to the second season of GHost in The shell and has lyrics in multiple languages to boot.

Forhekset · 2 months ago

Try listening to some real metal.

Nile - Cast Down the Heretic always spoke 40k to me.

kaptin scuzgob · 2 months ago

Herald of Nurgle · 2 months ago

Being a youngling, i'm going to state 2 things:
- Safety Dance (inevitable victory song)
- Forgotten Sons, Marillion (inevitable loss song)

fiend · 2 months ago

Electric Funeral? Iron Man more like.

How about Stealer's Kiss by D-Rok for the Tyranid option. Or Swarm Reigns (Down) by Isis.

Or We're A Happy Family by the Ramones as covered by Anthrax, for the Tau.

fiend · 2 months ago

Actually, reckon you could do a lot of this using just Amon Amarth:

Death In Fire - Witchhunters.
A Fury Divine - Demonhunters
And Soon The World Will Cease To Be - Nids
Bleed For Ancient Gods - Necrons
Free Will Sacrifice - IG
Live For the Kill - Orks

(Those Skaven models are awesome.)

bbqsac · 2 months ago

have you considered 'Nymphetamine - Cradle of Filth' for dark eldar?

Awaken · 2 months ago

Bolt Thrower!

Their guitars are forged in oldskoolium, making the original warhammer music since '89

anon · 2 months ago

Iron Man by Black Sabbath for Chaos. It just fits so well.

asymmetricalxeno · 2 months ago

* use any death-robot music for necrons, the genre was inspired by them completely. You even have C'tan specific music projects in the style.

* use electro-industrial bands front line assembly or allied vision for Space marines, cos it practically sounds like cyborg super soldier music anyway. "Back to ashes" or "Last wave" by Allied Vision would be apt.

* use experimental/noise/dark ambient/death-industrial for Chaos. Chaotic/twisted music for Chaos. Go get some Brighter Death Now CD's. And for nurgle you have the band Wraiths which even have an album called "plague bearer".

* For nids, check out Verticon ; http://www.myspace.com/verticonhivemind again, its practically like listening to the sounds you'd hear within a hive-ship or something.

Tonelowke · 2 months ago

I think in WFB Brettonia is the more "holy" of the armies, so my vote for them is "Holy War" by Dragonland. If There is a many amazing songs that band does on that CD all themed like a fantasy novel, so not onlygood music, but appropriate.

Also Cradle of Filth would be a good place to start for the Skaven...

SKT · 2 months ago

Well everybody, thanks for the suggestions, there is a lot of stuff for me to check out, but I can now say I am relatively well informed about the general genres people put 40K into based on their interpretation of its atmosphere............. Techno, Industrial Techno, Death Metal, Classic metal, and a number of other catagories which I don't feel like listing, I also have a whole host of new bands which I like, and a few which i don't care for......................... I will take all of these suggestions to heart, although my view of 40K is not one of pure hardcore metal, but of a mixture of Gothic overtones, anarchy, cyber punk, space opera, fantasy, a tad bit of comedy, and apocalyptic grandeur.

I do feel music is a good way to improve the hobbying and gaming experience, and I have found that most of my painting happens when I'm enjoying music which sets the tone, it also helps people relax and play games that are more chill, less competitive, and more stimulating

If I find a more related topic then I will post version 2 of the CD in the comments,

well thank you all, and remember if your willing to devote 1+ hours to a game have fun, and enjoy the experience

Muskie · 2 months ago

Listen to something other than metal.

My 40K mix had very little metal. Lots of blues songs or country are all about killing people and a lot more believeable than metal. I mean some of those guys really killed people...

T-Model Ford "I'm Insane"
Howlin' Wolf "Evil"
"Hard Time Killing Floor Blues"
"Excuse me I got someone to kill"
"One day I will kill you" Supersuckers
"Someone's gonna die tonight" Rusty

Also check out Electirc Brain Salad Surgery by ELP and the song Toscatta.

"I mean some of those guys really killed people..."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes

There's plenty of examples of folk in metal bands getting hauled up for attacking people, if that *really* lends their music credence. Reckon you'll find that more country musicians grew up with more guns around than metal folk, making fatalities easier to achieve.

SKT · 2 months ago

Well this is taking a strange turn, I would like to state something which is related to the original tangent, and somewhat to this new one, I don't care if the playlist/CD ends up being all Metal, All country, all blues, jazz or anything else or a combination of the genres, I just want music which fits the aumbiance of each 40k race

on a second side note, I've started thinking about a fantasy CD and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some of the rules and back stories to chaos dwarves and kislev, which need to be represented, even if they are left out currently

I want kislev back the models were cool, and the idea of having polish lancers and polar bears sparks my fancy, I would love to mix some empire stuff in and get a poland/russia/tutonic feel of an army

Joewrightgm · 2 months ago

I was able to see the book at my local store, and I have to say that the Screaming Bell is probably one of my favorite miniatures GW has done to date.

The pictures were full of detail shots, especially of the Rat Ogre with skaven runes cut into its skin, the effort-distended muscles, and the gray seer who is perched on top, screaming he obscene prayers to the Horned Rat.

The Plague Furnace had lots of detail shots too, and the plague monk crew with the plague priest was also impressive in detail and construction.
