Warhammer 40k Army Theme Songs

Ever since I was a wee lad first dipping my toes into miniature wargaming, I've always "sung along" while I played. While some players jiggle their dice, some pull their tape measure out and let it drop back in, but I've always had background music in my head and I tunelessly hum songs that match the armies on the table to the current events.

I'm also a big baseball fan and my friends and I would discuss our "walkup music" - the song that gets played over the stadium when you walk up to bat. Wrestlers have it. Comedians have it. James Bond has it. Why not Warhammer 40k?

Here are a few of my ideas:

Sons of Horus: Paint it Black - Rolling Stones

Emperor's Children - Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson

Iron Warriors: Ironman - Black Sabbath

Thousand Sons: I Fought the Law - the Clash

Nightlords: Thunderstuck AC/DC

World Eaters: Freak on a Leash - Korn

Word Bearers: Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Marines

Death Guard: Zombie - the Cranberries

Alpha Legion: Pretender - Foo Fighters

Adeptes Custodes: Club Foot - Kasabian

Ultramarines: Without Me - Eminem

Salamanders: Firestarter - Prodigy

Blood Angels: Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters

Blood Angels: Death Company: X Gon' Give it to Ya - DMX

Space Wolves: Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin

White Scars: Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf

Dark Angels: Carry on my Wayward Son - Kansas

Raven Guard: Blue Monday - New Order/Orgy

Sisters of Battle: Black Betty - Ram Jam

Astra Millitarum/ Imperial Guard: 7 Nation Army - White Stripes

Adeptus Mechanicus: Harder Better Faster - Daft Punk

The Eldar races are getting the My Chemical Romance treatment

Asuryani: Helena - My Chemical Romance

Drukhari: I'm Not OK - My Chemical Romance

Ynnari: Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

Harlequins: Na Na Na - My Chemical Romance

Orks: Sabotage - Beastie Boys

Necrons: Bring Me to Life - Evanescence

Genestealer Cults: Bullet with Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins

Tyranids: La Cucaracha

Tau: Barney Theme Song

Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions for the armies I've missed!

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.
