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

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend.  Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year.  #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k
