I love how this song makes me more interested in joining the airforce of an intergalactic autocratic ecclesiastical genocidal empire that doesn't exist than my own country's recruitment efforts.
The Stringstorm effect strikes again. First I was a little iffy about the song, mainly the voice but think I've just played this video like 3/4 times back to back now 😅, can't get enough it especially with all my aeronautica models I've got
"land and sea" never in my long life have i seen an imperial warship that sails the seas but now i am tempted to design and construct a ship that truly deserves the title "king of the ocean" although im not quite sure if i can actually acquire the resources for such a beast via legal means, looks like its time to start raiding some xenos (and xenos occupied) worlds again
It's weird, there's been a handful of references to imperial watercraft, but literally the only aquatic units to ever have rules in 40k were ork submarines (and technically the Chimera and Pegasus armored carriers are amphibious).
There was a cross-promotion between BG:A2 and World of Warships once, which is so far the closest to an official depiction of an Imperial watercraft we’ve ever seen I think.
I love the real instruments they just add something more to the music Also is the beginning music just a sped up version of grey death legion beginning
Something about these 40K songs makes me like them the more I listen to them. When I first listened to this song I though "meh" but now I find it to be amazing.
Do you think you could do another song for commander farsight/ farsight enclaves in your usual rock & style? The anime one is good and all but I'd like one in your typical rock & roll style. Thanks. Also great work on this one.
It’s about the Aeronautica Imperialis/the Guard’s posterboy pilots. I suspect there’d be less mention of “enemies of mankind” and how they were fighting for humanity if it was Battletech. Unless something changed, String never said he’d stop making music about Warhammer in the original community post from after TTS went on hiatus; he’d just be making songs for other franchises too.
From what can be gathered from the lyrics, the Aircraft names I identified are the Avenger, Valkyrie, Vulture, Marauder, and Thunderbolt. No Lightning though unfortunately unless I missed it.
I swear if one day there is a warhammer flight simulator like Ace Combat, i would abuse the hell of my flight stick.
Oh that is what the kids are calling it these days?😜
Sorry, low hanging fruit, had to take it. I will see myself out.
I hope you mean an actual flight stick and not the other flight stick
O R A N G E
Not quite Ace Combat, but maybe try Dakka Squadron? Released earlier this year with basically NO marketing, but pretty good!
Or DCS.
...or IL-2 Sturmovik..
this song gives the phrase "his angels" a new meaning
Then the reveal at the game awards took it back.
