Karthak Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Imagine the scene in a movie: On the outskirts of a star system great holes in real-space are opened, and out pour enormous warships, to the sound of...what, exactly? What kind of dramatic background music would fit each Legion? What's a suitable Leitmotif for, say, the Emperor's Children as opposed to the Blood Angels?

Emperor's Furor Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Tubthumping (I get knocked down) by Chumbawamba for Salamanders Nah in all seriousness I'm not good with epic sounding music tbh.

GrandMagnus Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I think this one would sound really great for Ultramarines or perhabs Imperial Fists?

Brother Captain Lucian Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The first 2:20 ish sounds like the kind of music that every legion would march with, after beating the snot out... I mean annexing a new planet.

Emperor's Furor Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I think the terminator movie tune would be cool for Sons of Horus / Luna Wolves, it suitably epic but also has an undertone of evil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68I3j2luW64 or for a faster pace one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcNXq5DUZnk Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293350-appropriate-dramatic-background-music-for-each-legion/#findComment-3736898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthamal Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Without going into the Batman theming too much for the Night Lords, the Joker's theme from the Dark Knight OST does nicely.

talos402000 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Here's a list I thought of a long time ago: Black Legion: Paint it Black by Judas Priest Iron Warriors: Unbreakable by Jon Bon Jovi World Eaters: Live for the Kill by Amon Amarth Thousand Sons: I believe it's Magic (The second, creepier part of the song, not the first part) Emperor's Children: The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson Death Guard: Monkey Down With The Sickness Alpha Legion: Mission Impossible Theme Song Word Bearers: Halleluja Gal Vorbak: Devil Man (lyrics: Devil Man Devil Man running in my head now!) Night Lords: The Devil's Rejects Raven Guard: End of Everything (lyrics: And now we're killing for the Raven so here we come!) Iron Hands: Machine Soldier on the Escaflowne Ost Dark Angels: Engel by Rammstein Space Wolves: Sverker by Corvus Corax Imperial Fists: I Will Never Surrender by the Clan of Xymox (Lyrics: And I will stand here at the gates and face the onslaught fighting. Very appropriate for the Siege of Terra.) White Scars: Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf Ultramarines: Hell March No. 2 on the Command & Conquer Ost Blood Angels: Exterminate Annihilate Destroy Salamanders: Ultra by KMFDM Legio Custodes: Imperial March of Roman Legions Legio Cybernetica: Robot Fight on the Dune Ost Minervan Armored Legions: Panzer Battalion by Sabbaton All those can be found on Youtube and are very appropriate.

Slips Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 For World Eaters, I think : Time to Kill Is Now By Cannibal Corpse Suits them a bit better or actually a lot of other CC songs like Frantic Disembowelment among others but hey to each his own! For Word Bearers in their Chaosyness I'd say almost any Black Metal song really ie: Ov Fire and the Void by Behemoth. Beyond that Hallelujah is perfect. For the Iron Hands and their cold mechanical outlook I'd say Mr Roboto by Styx just to lighten them a bit! :D For Chaos in general I'd propose The Formation of Damnation by Testament. Other than that, Talos pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Relict Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 And this here would make an excellent theme for Curze's flock of murderers. Unnatural and terrifying, encapsulating the dark and twisted soul of the VIII Legion very well. Imagine this playing as Night Lords assault marines descend upon an unsuspecting Imperial world from their gunships.

Komrk Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Not a Legion but this song is good for the Custodes, not only is the title appropriate (in a manner), but the music also seems to match their fighting style (at least as I see it) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293350-appropriate-dramatic-background-music-for-each-legion/#findComment-3740395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relict Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well, when I posted that I was thinking of the III Legion before the corruption. I've always seen the Emperor's Children in a very Roman-esque light. After their transformation, I think we can all agree on the Noise Marine Dubstep from Dawn of War as an appropriate theme. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293350-appropriate-dramatic-background-music-for-each-legion/#findComment-3742118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazryonh Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The following is a good theme for an assault by the Night Lords from an obscure game. If you leave it on repeat it sounds like an unstoppable wave of terrors from the dark: http://youtu.be/c3_AaprV7xU From the same game is another theme well suited to invasion by the Sons of Horus. Try playing it over the bonus wave of Exterminatus from the Space Marine game as a loyalist and see how well it fits. http://youtu.be/VXY9BBmpOfs "Alert! Unannounced drop pods inbound! Disembarking infantry are hostile! They've got the colors of the Sons of Horus and have already overrun outpost Sigma 9! Requesting immediate reinforcements, requesting--BZZZT."

b1soul Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Well, when I posted that I was thinking of the III Legion before the corruption. I've always seen the Emperor's Children in a very Roman-esque light. I believe the Ultramarines, Emperor's Children, Imperial Fists, and Luna Wolves all have some Roman influence. UItramarines being the most obvious of the lot. Emperor's Children are quite Roman based on naming conventions and their aesthetic...but they have that arrogance, pettiness, and foppishness about them. They're like Roman dandies Fists are kinda Greco-Roman but they also have a strong Teutonic influence. Luna Wolves had a Roman aesthetic before becoming Sons of Horus. After that, Cthonian culture took over Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293350-appropriate-dramatic-background-music-for-each-legion/#findComment-3742218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
