AoS armies theme songs !


Recommended Posts

I'd like to open a new topic about a funny idea : what do you think would be the theme songs of the AoS armies ? Like, one song for every army in the game (faction or subfaction) that fits their vibe/lore/minis/theming the best.

Feel free to add your ideas and suggestions in the thread ! You absolutely can write your own songs in that you think work best for that particular army. The only rule is : one army = one song only. No need to tell to be cool with other people's music tastes because TGA members are wholesome !

Since I'm starting the thread, I'm starting with my theme song suggestions ! Here goes :

  • Stormcasts Eternals : Ride The Lightning - Metallica
  • Seraphon : Welcome To The Jungle - Guns N Roses
  • Khorne : Raining Blood - Slayer
  • Nurgle : Pestilence And Plague - Judas Priest
  • Tzeentch : Master Of Puppets - Metallica
  • Skaven : Pinkie and the Brain opening theme
  • Ironjawz : The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy
  • Ossiarch Bonerepears : Spooky Scary Skeletons

What would you suggest as alternatives ? What songs would you pick for the other missing armies ? It's up to you to decide...

Finally, I can vent my Cities brainrot (chose these more on a what if they needed a background theme for a movie/video game theme rather than general theme song 😛)

Cities of Sigmar/Freeguilds: Civilization V - Elizabeth I War Theme (I Vow to Thee, My Country)
Dispossessed: Diggy Diggy Hole (WIND ROSE)
Scourge Privateers: All 5 Pirates of the Caribbean film scores
Flesh-Eater Courts: Two Steps From Hell - Protectors of the Earth OR Darkest Dungeon: Bloodletting (depends on who you ask)

Wanted to limit myself to classical music, but I am not the most well versed on the subject. As such some of these choices are: painfully clichéd, silly, related to a specific subfaction, or use composers with problematic reputations. I feel like someone else could make a better list but this is a fun start.

Chaos:
Beasts of Chaos
Blades of Khorne 
Disciples of Tzeentch
Hedonites of Slaanesh
Maggotkin of Nurgle 
Skaven
Slaves to Darkness

Death:
Flesh Eater Courts
Nighthaunt 
Ossiarch Bonereapers
Soulblight Gravelords 

Destruction:
Gloomspite Gitz 
Ogor Mawtribes
Orruk Warclans 
Sons of Behemat 

Order:
Cities of Sigmar
Daughters of Khaine
Fyreslayers
Idoneth Deepkin 
Kharadron Overlords
Lumineth Realm-lords
Seraphon 
Stormcast Eternals
Sylvaneth

Bonus:
Silent People

Would love if people used more of the public domain works in their batreps, but I know that it can get complicated with specific recordings and record companies auto flagging classical works due to these recordings. Still could help make some batreps stand out.

Kharadron Overlords: Ride of the valkyries (Richard Wagner)

If you field a lot of Frigates, Yellow Submarine from the Beatles fits well.

Fyreslayers would work with Feuer Frei (Rammstein) or Firestarter (Prodigy).

Disposessed would be the entire oeuvre of Wind Rose.

For the Flesh Eater Courts in general, and the Knight-focused Hollowmourne subfaction in particular:

"No, on second thought let's not go to Summercourt.  It is a silly place."
- what the leaders of the Ghyran crusade should have said

What would you suggest as alternatives ? What songs would you pick for the other missing armies ? It's up to you to decide... 

If we go with actual songs, I think Master of Puppets is a safe (due to its title) but musically kinda unfitting choice for big T. Heard this one being suggested for like 15 years now. :D 

Personally, I can picture only a song by a "weird" band like Mr.Bungle to fit him, e.g. 


It's weird enough, ranging from almost melodic to heavy, transitioning between different styles/musical genres... it's not an easy listen number but hey, it's complex enough for a convoluted being. I picture talking to Tzeentch must feel like listening to that song for the very first time! 

Generally I tend to go more of classical or instrumental/orchestral music to convey moods. I think "Blood-starved beast" from Bloodborne e.g. would work well for an Ushoran battle. I've got a weird taste in music though (thanks. Mr.Bungle!) so I guess not many would like my picks. 😂

As for fighting Sons of Behemat, playing something from Attack on Titan will guaranteed give you better rolls.

The Rumbling is definitely the theme song of the SoB. All the other OSTs from the anime work well with anyone facing them.
