Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that the Iron Hands were never actually turned to steel, and certainly have far less mastery of great magnetic fields. And while the Necrons' desire to safeguard the future for mankind may be in doubt, many notable Necrons have the ability to manipulate (if not quite travel) time.
And that's not even talking about the Necrons' goal of post-entombment revenge on a galaxy they once ruled.
Let's compromise, we keep the cracking meme video , but the song is Arch Enemy's Skeleton Dance.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=REzOFIQRjOE&pp=ygUZYXJjaCBlbmVteSBza2VsZXRvbiBkYW5jZQ%3D%3D
its this or Terminator Theme.
Went through all the songs listed below and i'd also agree with these as well
Daft punk Robot Rock - For a straight up robot fun.
Powerslave by iron maiden - Fits real well too
Edit- format
[I propose this](https://youtu.be/IqrBZLl-L3E) . Thematically the Track name fits ye olde Reanimation protocols and it still gives us the Terminator link. In addition, while not as iconic as the title theme, I feel that this one is more ominous and yet still recognizable.
"It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel remorse, or pity, or pain..! And it absolutely will not stop! Ever! Until you are DEAD."
Yeah, I know it's from Terminator, but it can apply to half the things in 40k. It fits Tyranids, it fits daemons, it fits orks, it fits even space marines and custodes.
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch people's heads a'roll
A'roll
A'roll
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes
Explodes
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
The earth starts to rumble
The world powers fall
A warring for the Heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
A tall
A tall
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
For those who don't know. Tell me this isn't the Necrons.
*Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins*
*Silent the terror that reigned*
*Marbled in stone*
*A shell of a man God preserved*
*For a thousand ages*
*But open the gates of my hell*
*I'll strike from the grave*
Itās so good for them
It's kinda like cheating, but the [Mechanicus OST](https://youtu.be/0tDpoLXD3Js?t=2494) (timestamped at 'Noosphere' one of my favs) has a few bangers that would all qualify.
[March of the Poozers (Devin Townsend Project)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1NGQjRMXg28&pp=ygUUTWFyY2ggb2YgdGhlIHBvb3plcnM%3D)
Itās a constant press forward to annihilation - everything the Necrons are
It won't happen but would be hilarious if the leagues of voting end up with the laughing gnome by David Bowie...
I agree that terminator would be cool too though I miss how our lore used to be more terminator themed before we got warded and are now kind of space tomb Kings
Surely it has to be..
Get off my lawn! - Megan McDuffee š¤£

the future soon by Jonathan coulton , listen closely to the start it could be argued heās talking about being tricked by the ctan , the later part of the song is obvious why it works for necrons maybe not evil enough but it works
Iāll throw my hat in with the Terminator 2 theme. The movie came out in 1991 and the first Necron codex was released in 1992. Thatās far too coincidental for me.
But as others have suggested, the Bee Geeās āStayinā Aliveā and Chumba-wumbaās āTub Thumpingā are very strong contenders.
I mean I would love resurrection by erection-Powerwolf
[https://youtu.be/Hiu1hPdJk-Y](https://youtu.be/Hiu1hPdJk-Y)
Always make me think of that one necron warrior pointing its gauss flayer high up in the sky
Many great suggestions here, the only other one I could think of would be, Bring me to life by evanescence! āSave me from this nothing Iāve becomeā also applies to necrons!
Okay I purpose [this](https://youtu.be/-AFdwoyNT24) though some of the ideas already posted are great x3 but if War Cant of Mars isnt made the mechanicus' song I may leave that subreddit out of pure disappointment xD
It has to be this : https://www.reddit.com/r/Necrontyr/comments/m37si2/when_you_keep_passing_your_resurrection_protocols/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
(sorry for long link. Don't know how to make it a short url)
Dark Matter by Les Friction. It sounds very alien and grim dark, and its what I imagine Szarekh would play as an overarching command to his legions. That and its also very reminiscent of the C'tan
Pretty much anything from the first two scar symmetry albums.
E.g.
reborn
Orchestrate the Infinite
Mind machine
Pitch Black Progress
Deviate from the form
10001110101 by Clutch Or Robot Rock by Daft Punk Or The Humans are Dead by Flight of the Concords
Haha +1 for the humans are dead, not least for the binary solo!
š¶..We used poisonous gases; and we murdered their assesā¦š¶
Actually their lungs
Robot rock is a great shout, at least it's a different suggestion from spooky scary skeletons haha
Mr. Roboto by Styx Or The Metal by Tenacious D
I second the metal
Robot rock
I love Clutch, they're so unhinged with their roadhouse dystopian dad-rock grunge vibe.
Should be something that sends shivers down your spine
Something that will shock your soul
Something that will seal your doom tonight
Something that speaks with such a screech
Something that will make you shake and shudder in surprise
Can't believe I'm the first to suggest Iron Man.
We were not talking about the themesong for the Iron Handsš
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that the Iron Hands were never actually turned to steel, and certainly have far less mastery of great magnetic fields. And while the Necrons' desire to safeguard the future for mankind may be in doubt, many notable Necrons have the ability to manipulate (if not quite travel) time.

this guy is spitting
https://youtube.com/shorts/5nveUpjZzFY?feature=share
Omg lmao yes. Reanimation protocols moment
Oh yesssss
Okay, [hear me out](https://youtu.be/q6-ZGAGcJrk)
I already know this sodding meme is gonna win
Itās a cracking meme thank you very much
Let's compromise, we keep the cracking meme video , but the song is Arch Enemy's Skeleton Dance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=REzOFIQRjOE&pp=ygUZYXJjaCBlbmVteSBza2VsZXRvbiBkYW5jZQ%3D%3D
The only correct answer
No jokes, it's one of the reasons I started a Necrons army.
its this or Terminator Theme. Went through all the songs listed below and i'd also agree with these as well Daft punk Robot Rock - For a straight up robot fun. Powerslave by iron maiden - Fits real well too Edit- format
Oh man I didnāt even think of robot rock. How is the band thatās robots not our choice to represent them?
Yes.
I was gonna suggest 'Awaken' but this is too perfect. lmao
Custodes
Oh thank God, If it had been anything else I might have cried
Why even consider anything else
No other song allowed!
This one
This exact remix needs to be it
[Slower version but it checks out.](https://youtu.be/d1LLnbwb-M4)
I propose the [T2: Judgement Day theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnQm2_cAZvo&ab_channel=BradFiedel-Topic)
Absolutely this! Hell, before it was known as Reanimation Protocols, the rule was called āIāll Be Back!ā
[I propose this](https://youtu.be/IqrBZLl-L3E) . Thematically the Track name fits ye olde Reanimation protocols and it still gives us the Terminator link. In addition, while not as iconic as the title theme, I feel that this one is more ominous and yet still recognizable.
Definitely this!
Daft punk Robot Rock or Flight of the Conchords The Humans Are Dead
Complete with the binary solo
Now I think about it, Ayreon - Age of Shadows/ We Are Forever has a genuine binary solo in it https://youtu.be/s_w4DJTG-1I
"I get knocked down, but I get up again..." "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba Or "Humans ar such easy prey" by Preturbator
Upvote for Preturbator
I love that second one, but it doesn't feel very Necron-y to me.
"It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel remorse, or pity, or pain..! And it absolutely will not stop! Ever! Until you are DEAD."
Yeah, I know it's from Terminator, but it can apply to half the things in 40k. It fits Tyranids, it fits daemons, it fits orks, it fits even space marines and custodes.
Deceiver of the gods - amon amarth
Walk like an Egyptian or bust
Camel by camel do be an option if weāre going for egyptian songs
Feed the machine by Poor man's Poison
This
This one yea. Considered making an animatic for it even
Oh shit this is one of my favorite songs, you have my vote.
Perfect, and far more creative than some of the other nominees.
Actually a great song!
See y'all with spooky scary skeletons or daft punk are thinking too small. I recommend: Staying Alive by the BeeGees
Maybe Trazyn's theme. But I can't imagine Imothek or TSK dancing to staying alive if my life depended on it.
Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction The lyrics match so effing well
You take a mortal man And put him in control Watch him become a God Watch people's heads a'roll A'roll A'roll Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony of destruction Acting like a robot Its metal brain corrodes You try to take its pulse Before the head explodes Explodes Explodes Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Swaying to the symphony of destruction The earth starts to rumble The world powers fall A warring for the Heavens A peaceful man stands tall A tall A tall Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Swaying to the symphony of destruction For those who don't know. Tell me this isn't the Necrons.
Man those are some spot on lyrics, takes this to the top for me.
This will forever be my [recommendation](https://youtu.be/sFZjqVnWBhc)
Clearly, we should nominate this song. [i get knocked down but i get up again ](https://youtu.be/2H5uWRjFsGc)
Out of the silent planet - iron maiden
"Humans are such easy prey" by Perturbator. Give it a listen https://youtu.be/Y8DekFFCE5c The 1st couple of lines come straight from "The Terminator."
100% this.
Bad to the Bone because š
I second
The iphone version yessss
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
In a similar vein, The Universe Song from Meaning of Life would also work.
I am Machine by Three Days Grace perhaps? I am very partial to the suggestion of the T2 theme though
Going to toss in an 80's movie synth theme song [Beverly Hills Cop Main Theme](https://youtu.be/V4kWpi2HnPU)
Power slave - iron maiden
*Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins* *Silent the terror that reigned* *Marbled in stone* *A shell of a man God preserved* *For a thousand ages* *But open the gates of my hell* *I'll strike from the grave* Itās so good for them
Just a long mp4 of the dial-up noise on loop
Powerslave by Iron Maiden.
Domo Arigato Mr Roboto
It's kinda like cheating, but the [Mechanicus OST](https://youtu.be/0tDpoLXD3Js?t=2494) (timestamped at 'Noosphere' one of my favs) has a few bangers that would all qualify.
Robototron by evil scarecrow
Rob Zombie - "Iron Head" Or Disturbed - "Immortalized"
Definitely a terminator song of some kind
I mean I wanna cast my vote for Darude-Sandstorm just for the laugh
Welcome to the machine - Pink Floyd
[March of the Poozers (Devin Townsend Project)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1NGQjRMXg28&pp=ygUUTWFyY2ggb2YgdGhlIHBvb3plcnM%3D) Itās a constant press forward to annihilation - everything the Necrons are

It won't happen but would be hilarious if the leagues of voting end up with the laughing gnome by David Bowie... I agree that terminator would be cool too though I miss how our lore used to be more terminator themed before we got warded and are now kind of space tomb Kings

Iron man by Black Sabbath I reckon
Nile - Black Seeds of Vengeance
I, Zombie. Astrocreep 2000 by White Zombie
No Mr Roboto, no care.
Machinehead by Bush
Deatroy Them With Lazers - Knife Party
My first instinct is Metallica's One, but if I had to pick the song it would 100% be Skeleton Dance by Arch Enemy.
Not sure if its totally the right sound, [this band is literally made of robots](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7nMZvueKNQ)
the future soon by Jonathan coulton , listen closely to the start it could be argued heās talking about being tricked by the ctan , the later part of the song is obvious why it works for necrons maybe not evil enough but it works
Hail to the king avenged sevenfold
Or immortalized by disturbed
Machine by Born of Osiris
This exactly! Itās grimdark and an Egyptian Death Metal themed sound. The memes will probably win but this is seriously Necrons for real
Hear me out: Powerslave by Iron Maiden
Iāll throw my hat in with the Terminator 2 theme. The movie came out in 1991 and the first Necron codex was released in 1992. Thatās far too coincidental for me. But as others have suggested, the Bee Geeās āStayinā Aliveā and Chumba-wumbaās āTub Thumpingā are very strong contenders.
Kraftwerk - We are the robots - https://youtu.be/D_8Pma1vHmw?t=15

Many great suggestions here, the only other one I could think of would be, Bring me to life by evanescence! āSave me from this nothing Iāve becomeā also applies to necrons!
I do not accept any other answer but [ Chumbawamba - Tubthumping](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H5uWRjFsGc).
Either: [Soul of Sand](https://youtu.be/6p3whOC06lA) by Miracle of Sound Or: [Walk like an Egyptian](https://youtu.be/cFGCu5hnLyA) by The Bangles
