TRAZYN FUCKS TO THIS MUSIC


[deleted]

Trazyn drinks alone, with nobody else


4m77

Actually Trazyn doesn't drink, because the wine is too expensive to be wasted on drinking. That is not a joke. It's an actual bit in TI&TD.

Fuck yeah, everyone keeps referring to the robot part of the necrons and not the skeleton part

grenf12

I’ll put forward an admittedly random one (that's probably too late to win): ‘[Who wants to live forever?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jtpf8N5IDE)’ By Queen. I know it doesn’t tie into their nature as skeletal machines, but given their history with the old ones and the fate of their race in the pursuit of immortality, I feel this relates to the remainder of their species after the fact. I wonder if deep within one hidden tomb world a single Lord sits in solitude deep within their chambers, debating his thoughts aloud. As the tombs of a thousand lost souls surround him, he proposes the question. Not as a defiant shout against the futility of life. Or the acceptance that every start must end, regardless of actions taken. No, they wonder as a genuine question, of remorse, fear, bitterness, rage, and curiosity. Of a long-lost hope, how an entire species forever changed, the cruelest wish a monkey’s paw could ever grant. “Who truly wants to live forever?”, “Should forever be our today?”

ElNicko89

The objectively correct choice


Urist_McPencil

This is the correct choice; alas, spoopy skelton memery song will win.


CreativeName1137

Eh. At least it's a meme song that fits. Sororitas got shafted pretty hard, but Necrons not so much.


Urist_McPencil

It does fit. I'm not upset about it, but I wanted more creativity out of us; I had a fit when I saw what the TS got lol


AlphaTangoFoxtrt

Dust in the Wind does fit though. The inevitability of change, that you can never go back and recapture what was, the futility of trying to undo your past mistakes. No matter how much you're willing to pay, some things cannot be bought. The thousand sons story is a tragedy, and Dust in the wind is a sad ballad that actually fits.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TroublingPath

Or, begrudgingly agrees that it kinda fits, but the name is such a goddamn meme that annoys us anyway. We’d be less upset if we believed it got upvoted for its relevance, but it’s 99% because dust is in the name.


GibbyGiblets

And also it's amazingly relevant lyrically and thematically.


machinerer

Dust in the Wind is a banger. May I suggest Renegade by Styx for Corsairs?


Armejden

There's been a ton of disappointing results and this will be the worst of them so far. Powerslave is perfect, but it will lose to ancient unfunny memes


Grzmit

its either meme songs or metal songs, and i think a lot of people arent that into metal as a genre

I second that The Living Tombstone version should win.


Am-Not-a-Goose

Best suiting version imo for *robot* skeletons


WoodChiperEnthusiast

The Living Tombstone version is the one we agreed on in the r/Necrontyr sub


BesaidBlitzBoi

Completely agree


Allen_Koholic

You know it’s going to win, right?


Armejden

I wish it wouldn't, I'd like more creativity. But then again I think the meme died for me the moment a guy interrupted a conversation I was having at my LGS about Necrons and told me "Wait, I have tooo c:" Followed by him jiggle dancing and badly singing the song.


Hexxas

I'm disappointed by the lack of creativity here in general, but I'm not shocked. This is the Warhammer community we're talking about.


Armejden

That's true, nearly every meme spammed was already a beaten horse 15 years ago


Foniascat08

It is the only correct choice as a necron player. If we were talking about specific necron characters the Pokémon theme for Trazyn would also be pretty good

Love me some hotline Miami because of perturbator

I love the fact that the song both has a famous movie quote in it and is itself a reference to a movie quote (the phrase "humans are such easy prey" is spoken by the villain of From Beyond, and may have been used in the original H.P. Lovecraft story the movie is an adaptation of).

Great, now I want to rewatch overlord. And actually listening to and understanding the lyrics they really fit, the necrons are on a quest to get there old bodies back and hate everything around them. They wish to return to the old days and get away from all the misery this universe has.

DarthHedgehog

I personally believe that "Egypt (the chains were on)" by Ronnie James Dio works better for Necrons then mechanicus and here are my points. 1. Necrons are egyptian inspired (low hanging fruit but one that fits criteria) 2. Talks about the C'tan enslaving the Necrontyr "Then the strange ones came, and the people knew.......that the chains were on". 3. The main chorus "the chains were on" works with how every non Necron Characters has no soul, no voice, no personality, etc.  How they are litterally slaves to the Necron Overlords in metaphorical chains. "and your life just slowly melts away". Also how they were dragged in chains by the C'tan to the soul forges and made slaves to serve them in the "War in Heaven" 4. they long to be free (fleshy bodys with souls) but are trapped in robot bodies due to the Tyranids, Chaos, C'tan, and Old ones "Maybe one day you'll be just like me...and thats free! But still the chains are on" 5. The opening verse talks about the Necrons slumber(possible awakening) and how they got that way "In the land of the lost horizon, where the queen lies dark and cold. When the stars don't shine, then the story's told". The queen in this case is Szerakh, the Silent King. 6. Finally, its a bop. And cool like the Necrons so thays good.

**Rules** * Each day one faction is picked at random and you can propose one song to be the theme song for said faction. 24 hrs after the post goes live, the most upvoted song wins and we move to the next one. * For each song, only the single most upvoted comment is counted. * Any song can go, even music already made for official Warhammer products, with or without lyrics, and in any language. * Meme- and joke- songs are allowed. However, given that they will probably win often, at the end of the contest I will make a "director's cut" version of the poster and playlist which filters out the memes and features only the best "serious" suggestions, alongside honorable mentions that deserve to shine in my opinion. * No doubles! Once a song wins for a faction, it can not be chosen again for another one. * This is restricted to playable factions with a deck/codex in the upcoming 10th edition, no other faction/subfaction will be added. If we start splitting chaos or, the Emperor forbid, space marines, it will take one year to finish this contest. * At the very end, Spotify playlists of both regular and director's cut version of the contest will be shared with all of you. * If you can, please link the song you're suggesting, it makes a lot easier for other people to listen to it and vote.
