hot sister pop star

drums replaced with earthshaker cannons, autocannons etc

brutal

Heresy rhymes with heresy

Like everything that currently exists, plus everything else you can imagine, plus more.

The Imperium doesn't have a single culture. It has thousands of planets with the same level of diversity as ours, and thousands more that put ours to shame.

So apply that question to our planet. (What does earth music sound like?) Think of all the diverse kinds of music africa has, then the middle east, then europe, then think about how it has changed over time.

The imperium encompases all that, and orders of magnitude more diversity on top.

A symphonic orgasmic orchestration of chainsaws and bullet spray, the falsetto death-cries of a thousand souls, and the persistent, pervasive percussion of ten thousand orks marching lockstep over the bones of their conquered foes.

'Wanna see' if you're willing to stretch things, and I think you are

Well it would be obviously set on an ice planet.

>implying you can have a musical without iceskates

I'd like to see some kind of rap battle between say....a grey knight and a daemon.

"yo grey knights your shit is tragic, we'll kick yo' ass all the way back to might n' magic"

"heretics on the rise, daemons i despise, look into my eyes"

>>16418941

>think russian army choir but imperial guard

REPO: The Genetic Opera proved that dark sci-fi can actually work, and seeing a scene of IG in the trenches, singing in unison as they get opened like soup cans from tau pulse guns...

another scene, A squad of Space Marines singing about destroying a Monolith, with a Dreadnought providing a (vocoded) tenor....
All the while the Necrons are giving a monotone vocal rhythm....

Yes. All of my money. Take it.

>>16418959
'They say there's this female Commissar
With legs like -this- and a chest to here-yah
In battle they say she's most inspiring
She even gets the ad-mech perspiring
So all my guardsmen they wanna see
But to me it smells like... HERESY!

(from 'Heresy [Confessions of a lonely Commissar]')

HERESY!

But father don't you understand?

HERESY!

This foolish conquest will be the end of man?

HERESY!

My son you fallen from my grace...

HERESY!

Then I will rise above you and take my RIGHTFUL PLACCCCEE!

HEEERRR~EEESYYYYYY!!!!

>>16418972
>"heretics on the rise, daemons i despise, look into my eyes"

Has anybody heard the song by Stratovarius called "millennium"?

It's clear sounding, but at the same time it's rapid metal with good group vocals.

Well, given warhammer being cluttered with gothic grimdarkness, I'll bet its better in Opera.

Organs as in entrails?

..or the boring instruments?

>>16419076
that or melancholic barbershop singing by IG vets - on the even before the next big counterattack which will certainly kill them all

Executive producer:

[nospoilerson/tg/]Matthew Ward[/nospoilerson/tg/]

>>16419087
....yes

I remember a screencap of a Commissar singing a 40K-adapted version of that Gilbert and Sullivan Major General song
Anyone have it on hand?

>>16419090
>>16419076

You could mix-and-match styles, I suppose. I for one want to see an IG regiment singing in unison.

There needs to be a whole backup section of sisters on vocals, then at the start of the third act they all die somehow.

>>16419041

By the Throne here I make my stand....

On this void and marred deserted battle land...

All my brothers gone and faith left to test....

The foul Xeno, I can taste him on my breath....

OH EMPEROR WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?

I WANTED TO SERVE BUT NOW I CAN FINALLY SEE!

THIS DEAD COLD WORLD IS ALL THAT IS LEFT

WITH RIGHTEOUS LAZ RIFLE I TAKE MY FINAL STEP!

To die with my family is all...


That I have left...

>>16419127

That's pretty wicked.

We should get a load of songs done, see if we can get a bunch in one place.

Emperor.... watch your children
The iron fist of fear is ruling our lives
It's not too late to change the course
We can make this world a better place to be in
*big riff kicks in*
How much more do we want until we're satisfied?
What happens when we have what we want?
Acquiring more , still there's never enough
We forget those who really are in need
The end is near, or so they say
Selling peace with guns

Masquerade!
Tzeentch' servants on parade.
Masquerade!
Hide your face, so the Guard will never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade.
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!

Flash of mauve.
Splash of puce.
Fool and king.
Ghoul and goose.
Green and black.
Queen and priest.
Trace of rouge.
Face of beast.
Faces.

Take your turn.
Take a ride.
On a merry - go - round
In an inhuman race.

Eye of gold.
Thigh of blue.
True is false.
Who is who?
Curl of lip.
Swirl of gown.
Ace of hearts.
Face of clown.
Faces.
Drink it in
Drink it up
'til you drown in the light.
In the sound.
But who can name the face?

Masquerade!
Seething shadows
breathing lies.
Masquerade!
You can damn
any friend who
ever knew you!

Quick! I need a quip about Marneus that is a single syllable. Either about his mecha body or some other personality quirk.

I hear you asking for something that rhymes
with a word we don't normally say,
and for good reason too, because it brings to mind,
death and frightening dismay.

and you'd think you'd have learned the last time you asked
why some words are so hard to rhyme
there's a reason you know and I'm sure that you do,
that heresy is a emperor-damned crime.

but since you did ask and I'm a kind man,
let me show you some words that might rhyme,
My word won't be given, that you won't be blammed,
but it will, that you'll have a good time.

>>16419627
Or two syllables I suppose. I can shove it in.

Needs to be a negative or ironic.

I can think of a word, that might rhyme with yours,
and it's something that people adore,
but it's not easily found, at least nowadays,
and it's a lack of it that people deplore.

Now I'm not talking about those hospitalliers,
With those arguably fine hips and more,
Or their sisters in arms, with braziers,
and wearing more yet more hardcore,

What I mean are things that we tend,
to appreciate more often or less,
Like calling one another, by the correct address
and other simple acts of kindness.

Yes, that's the word, that rhymes with yours,
that word we don't utter, oh heresy,
alright it might not be too close of a match,
but telling you was only courtesy.

>>16419627
>>16419661

Not sure man, I'm more an artist/animator than writer.

>>16419742

I mean, a one syllable quip about a stern metal spiritual liege?

My mind's blank at the moment.

>>16419752
>Blank
I see what you did there

>>16419752
And your Chapter Master's _____

I can cut the chapter and just use Chap' and squeeze a 2 syllable there if need be. Would help if it rhymed with rose

>>16419766
I'm moving on for now. Either it will strike later or one of you will think of something good.

>>16419766
Rope?
Rage?
Power?

>>16419766

If you wanted to go for something rather simple that doesn't really fit the grimdarkiness it could be 'gross', but that seems rather immature for the rest.

Shame it's not "And your primarchs a ghost", refering to the fact that Guiilman got himself killed and the dude in stasis is either Omegon or Alpharius, just as planned.

>>16419797
>>16419779
Never mind, I reworked the structure and eat up some words elsewhere. Crisis adverted. Moving on...

To be honest, I really do think it's better,
a lot closer to how your word rhymes,
It has the same amount of syllables,
both words have 3, both primes.

Now I think you may have heard this before,
but if you have I'm worried,
for your soul, your life and more besides,
so I think this shall be hurried.

It's a word that those filthy xenos use,
not that I would know anything about them,
to normally describe what their seers do,
when they're not being filthy xenos, ahem.

Ah yes, those filthy xenos, I had a run in with one named Macha,
I won't admit to anything, it was probably heresy,
oh yes and that word,
that word is prophesy.


AND THERE

a meta poem about this thread.

I just KNOW there's some planet with rap battles going on. Maybe not gangster/hip-hop rap, but more hive-gang far more electronic rap.

In my next Rogue Trader game, I'm gonna DM my players into a planet covered in Rappers with Rap culture, and maybe put a couple of Mekboyz and other "smart" Orkz on the planet who've joined the culture out of the influence of some psyker element in the speakers and mixers.

Like a music video by Immortal

Ok so for the story that ties it all together I'm thinking an invasion by the Orks(Orks orks orks orks is the opener) on a paradise world is met with resistance by the Vostroyans and Catachans, allowing for music from both companies, slow russian chants from the Vostroyans. Faster Jungleish beats from the Catachans. Oh, and two of the lieutenants are star-crossed lovers. After they are all introduced the battle begins(another song here), the orks end up winning and the astartes are called in. Gray knights or Iron fists... any chapter you can set ballads to. They are have an intro song, and then onto another fight scene with the Catachan, Vostroyans and Astartes all whupping ork. When surprise surprise, Chaos. They enter with a squeal of a guitar(Song) and one of the Spess Mareens monologues about his fear of corruption which leads into yet another song, thats all I have so far. What do you guys think?

I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I have information military, tech and astronomical
I know the many Chapters and recount them alphabetical
From Absolvers to Wolf Brothers, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with those matters heretical
And respond to those of chaos both swiftly and methodical
About xenos I'm simply not the only one
Who's inclined to show them the hot end of my double-fusioned melta-gun.

I'm very good at reinforcing my redundant infantry
And asking that the Emperor takes time to watch over me
In short, in matters military, tech and astronomical
I am the very model of a modern Major-General


I could continue but you get the picture.

I'm a Commissar, and I'm alright.
I shoot my men, so they will fight.

>He's a Commissar, and he's alright.
>He shoots us up, so we will fight.


I cut down orks. I yell and shout.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I get angry
And fuck up heresy.

>He cuts down orks. He yells and shouts.
>He goes to the lavatory.
>On Wednesdays he gets angry
>And fucks up heresy
>He's a Commissar, and he's alright.
>He shoots us up, so we will fight.

I cut down xenos. I dance and sing.
I write my poetry.
I put on Eldar armor
And look up at the stars

>He cuts down xenos. He dances and sings.
>He likes his poetry.
>He puts on Eldar armor
>And looks up at the stars?!
>He's a Commissar, and he's alright.
>He he shoots us up, so we will fight.

I cut down Chaos. I wear a Ghost Helm,
My runes, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a seer,
Just like my dear Macha.

>He cuts down Chaos. He wears a Ghost helm,
>Runes and a bra?!
>What's this? Wants to be an Eldar?! By the Emperor!
>And I thought he was so scary! Frak!

I'm a Commissar and I'm alright,
I shoot my men, so they will fight!

Close.. so close.....

>Abaddon activates a stasis field around Creed, as he is leading a company of guardsmen. He laughs then breaks into song

Look at these guardsmen.
Amazing how fools’ll
Show up for the bloodbath.
You bunch of dumb cocks
Rushed in like trained grox
In time for my true wrath.

Why can't they feel what I feel
Why can't they hear the pain
Soon they shall kneel
To me when to their vain
This world will be despoiled.
Cadia will be despoiled.

Now that your Lord Creed
Cannot succeed you are
Beginning to fear me
Like tau fear assault phase
I wonder from your gaze
Can you comprehend me?

>>16423967
*leans over to a guardsman*
I bring you death
That which can’t be made quietly.
*snips guardsman’s’ head with claw*
Hold your breath
Bear witness as your military society
Is despoiled
Cadia's despoiled by me

So,
*cocks claw-mounted storm bolter*
Go ahead, flee dogs!
*shoots bolter*
Say it was heresy.
*shoots bolter*
Spread the faith, tell your squad.
Tell my legend.

*tosses a chainsword to a guardsman*
Grab a sword. Kill your friends.
Loyalists are over with.
*shoots bolter*
Look at him. Not a word.
Like Guilliman!

Then I win, then I get
Everything I ever
All the respect, all the glory
And religious change.

Chaos, that I run.
It's Lord Abaddon's turn.
You people all have to learn
Let the Galaxy burn!
*shoots bolter*
Burn!
*shoots bolter and sees a 5th edition Grey Knights Codex nearby and picks it up*
(Hey, the latest Ward codex! Love his stuff-)
Burn!

>>16423972
No sign of Grimnar.
Good, I would give anything
Not to have a chorus.
You’ve been waiting a while
For this, Ezekyle.

Time to avenge Horus.
*hesitates and closes eyes*
Vengeance for Horus!

Let's get down to buisness
To defeat the 'Crons
Did they send me Xenos
When I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
Before we're through
Mister, I'll make a guard
out of you

Vengeful as a Daemon
Put on fire within
Once you trust his wisdom
you are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a guard
out of you

I'm never gonna catch my breath
Say good-bye to those who knew me
Boy, was I a fool in school for praising Tzeentch
This 'Nid got 'em chopped to death
Hope he doesen't punch right through me
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim

Be a guard
We must be swift as a coursing river

Be a guard
With all the nuts of a great baboon

Be a guard
With all the strength of a cleansing fire

We're all more or less guaranteed to die

Time is racing woard us
till the Crons arrive
Heed my every order
and you might survive
You're unsuited for
the emperors war
So pack up, go home
you're through
How could I make a guard
out of you?

Be a guard
We must be swift as a coursing river

Be a guard
With all the nuts of a great baboon

Be a guard
With all the strength of a cleansing fire

We're all more or less guaranteed to die

Be a guard
We must be swift as a coursing river

Be a guard

GLORIOUS

Stand the fuck back, I'm going to record all of this shit. What do I start with?

We discussed this once. We decided it would be the Producers plot:

Abaddon has realized that he can get better results leading a failed Black Crusade than a successful one. So he sets out to launch the worst Crusade ever, one that is guaranteed to fail.

Only it succeeds and he ends up on the hook to the Ruinous Powers.

*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*PING* Were the last sounds you heard before your life was stripped from you, the last thing you saw was your clip ejecting from your Garand. You were Private Nelson of the 101st Airborn, now you are dead. You stand now before the reaper himself, the world around you is dark, grey and colorless. He stares at you expectantly with his hand outreached. The question is... Now what? 1d100 decides action. Low is good, high is bad. 95 or higher is critical failure when using an action.

What about this?

Stop there demon, you've met your match
'cuz when you cross the emperor there's no going back
I'm the executioner, judge and the jury
and the crime you've committed here is HERESY!

What's this grey knight, you think I'm through
You'll be a thick red mush when I'm done with you
on the up-side, you'll be part of khorne's bed
As I'll rip the skull clean out of your head!

Not to interrupt but I think you're wrong,
for it's you who won't be alive for too long,
with the strength of the emperor I'll smite thee
with the power of the imperium's fury!

Foolish mortal, I can't be defeated
Khorne's blessing is on me so your time left is metered
Try fighting me, I'll merely lose my temper
so just take a seat like your false god-emperor!

I grow tired of talking, you foul warp creature
In a glorious battle I intent to beat ya
Force sword in hand and bolter at my side
there's no place you can hide

Fine, we'll see who's best in the field of battle
And I won't rest until I hear your death-rattle
then throughout your imperium, I'll make it known
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE

>>16429608
