OK, I don't know if there is a thread for this already, I couldn't find one.
If there is one feel free to ignore this to death, but,

Do you guys have theme songs for your armies?

My Necrons theme is "New Year Storm" by Clark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxCVhPjWc4c

My Vampire Counts theme is "Living Dead" by Phantom Planet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL6t01Idsp4

My Deamons theme is "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin (takes about a minute before the music starts): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Az_7U0-cK0

Still working on the others. My Space Wolves playing buddy's theme is "Immigrant Song" by Led Zep.
I just think it's fun to make mixes of everyone's themes while you play. Really boosts moral.

My Chaos Space Marines march to war with 1349's "Slaves to Slaughter" (Hellfire 2005) offending all ears!

Alternatively, their song Chosen Ones also works great.

There have been a few threads tossed around here and there, though not for a while.

I've never heard a really good one for Grey Knights. There are a few close ones I can think of, but nothing that really fits.

And I always think of Tau when I listen to The Showdown, but that's just because I got the CD and listened to it a lot while I was assembling my Tau.

Mighty Ride of the Firelord
by Rhapsody of Fire


I can't really find much that is entirely appropriate, but this catches the defiant spirit of the Sisters well enough.

Anything by Pantera, Testament, something like that...

"Alone in the Dark" By Testament for the Imperium.

For my Imperial Guard, I have to go with 'Veterans of the Psychic Wars' by Blue Oyster Cult. Perfectly fits the cynicism and despair of trying to survive in the grinding slog of an unending war.

I like "Kings of the Carnival Creation" by Dimmu Borgir for my Black Legion force. Abbadon the Despoiler seems like he would be a big fan of Dimmu Borgir. Maybe "The Sacrilegious Scorn"?

Luckily, my Necron army double as a Death-Robot band, so in their spare time they like to scream, thrash about and make their own brand of music ; Angels Of Salvation (http://www.myspace.com/curseoflife)

Points of Authority or Come play with me (ICP) reminds me of my Slaaneshi LatD army.

Indiffernt to Suffering by Chimaira, is for my BT

Dude, did you make this Necron Thrashcore (made up genre name)? It's perfect for spreading the Glory of the Star Gods on all the lesser races. A download would be sweet.

Disposable Heroes by Metallica seems written for the Imperial Guard, as well.

I really like the idea of theme music for armies. I think the perfect fit for the emperor's children is the Rudimentary Peni album Cacophony. I still want to get one of those recordable greeting cards and record the first 8 seconds of Nightgaunts so everytime my landraider doors open it plays.

Crazed Couplet playing over the dirge caster just feels right.

I don't really have a single song, but I love listening to Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana,"

If I had to pick one song for my Blood Angels it would be "Let the bodies hit the floor," by Drowning pool.

Though if Im being completly honest, I like to listen to Enya when I play... It calms me down when I start rolling ones.

Heeding the Call by Hammerfall for my Black Templar
Either Black Star Deciever by Soilwork or Cutie Honey by Koda Kumi for my Eldars depending on if they are pissed or space fairies =)

Dystopia-My Ad Mech Guard (I dont know, its got that perfect beat for a legion of advancing tanks and war machines)
The Longest Journey (Ensifernum)-Death Spectres Marines (about searching for the land where heros roam)
Blood Rains-Rebellion (Warriors of Chaos) (Slaughtering people in the name of a pagan god, whaats not to love)
Human Strain-Slayer (Demons of Chaos) ( A song about thinning the human heard with plagues, perfect for an epidemus album)

The theme song of my Plague Marines is Dimmu Borgir's "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse."
For my Orks? "Wild Dogs" by Toxic Holocaust.

My Necrons rock "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" techno mix.
(peep it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcQH3KOLWBM although most sites are too loud for me to pull this off routinely).

Sistersuse "Joan" by Heather Dale
Grey Knights (and my own Chapter Space Marines 'Astral Paladins') go with "O Varium Fortune" by Corvus Corax (though really I should use that for Ravenguard).

and my new Space Wolves will have Led Zepellin's "The Immigrant Song" playing softly from their display when they are done.

I actually want to get a tattoo of the imperial aquila with the lyrics, "Like thunder from the sky, sworn to fight and die" wrapped around it. The lyrics are from the Manowar song "Warriors of the World United."

Glenn Danzig's "Black Aria" has always rolled in my head for my Chaos armies. I just found out he composed a sort of sequel to the album. Guess I'll be going to Amazon when I'm done here.

Mos Def and Massive Attack with "I Against I" from the Blade 2 soundtrack for my Grey Knights.

Type O Negative for my Sisters.

Crystal Method, particulary "Name of the Game", or Drowning Pool, "Step Up" and "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor", for my Guard. Although the Johnny Cash tune "Drive On" seems fitting at times.

I like to have Winamp or my XM radio on during games here at the house. I have two tables set up and with several people, there is rarely a consensus on what music or even type of music to play so, since it is my house, I tend to choose.

i dont have theme tunes for my armies, the missus does, whenever the SW roll out, its to the sound of Turisas(battle metal album), and the sisters groove to korplikaani, any track will do. the dwarves get Bathory, so lots of folk/battle metal for her. on a side note, i listened to the pixies as i was painting my sisters, and whenever my canoness leaves her immolator i get a flash of "her head has no room"(from the track "is she wierd"), as i imagine she smacks it of the door frame lol.

I've only really thought about this for my Necrons, and it's either Meshuggah's 'Bleed' or Fear Factory's 'Slave Labor'

Also, if I ever got round to getting a Dwarf army, theirs would definitely have to Trollhammeren by Finntroll.

"Man on the Silver Mountain" by DIO is definitly a Rune Priest anthem
SW is general would go with Sons of Odin by Manowar
For any Khorne fans "Let Us Slay" by Gwar is the ultimate berzerker song, Kharne be proud
For IG can't forget "don't turn around oh uh oh Der Commisar's in town"
but seriously Hans Zimmer is wargaming theme song gold
IG from the Backdraft soundtrack "Fighting 17th" is intense you can see the battle being fought as you listen
Any Imperial Army could go with "You Go We Go"
ok so i'm a volunteer firefighter and the Backdraft soundtrack kicks *** anyways but it fits perfectly

When I had an Emperor's Children army "Sonnys Burning" by The Birthday Party worked pretty well. It was the right combination of menacing, discordant and deviant. Plus it starts with the opening line of "Hands up who wants to die".

I'm surprised nobody's posted this classic yet. For airmobile Guard, Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner. Who can forget that iconic scene from Apocolypse Now?

That is sheer gold! I have always thought of augmenting my vehicles with lights/engines/ghetto blasters.

For me Disturbed's "Down with the sickness" is always playing whenever I'm writing a Chaos list.

For whenever my Marine's are drop-podding in, Muse's "Knights of Cydonia" get's a guernsey.
