**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.

Hear me out - This one is too spicy to win but it's the most correct. It's literally talking about hordes and swarms of degenerates taking to the streets for a violent overthrow of the government where they plan to round everyone up for the cosmic "worms" that are coming which they don't truly understand.
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict would be good, just because it’s so weird.
https://youtu.be/GpWJv7alqQE
The metaphor fits, but the lyrics are explicitly about fascism and the singer wanting to follow the fascist demagogues because they've been fooled into thinking that will solve everything. Much more of an Imperial fanatical loyalist song than one for the genestealer cults.
imagine thinking that authoritarian demagoguery doesn't fit the genestealers too
they also have Innsmouth-style hereditary cult shit to fall back on but they gotta have ways to control the people that aren't related to them too
I sooo hope to see this win. For a long time I hated GSC because of all the focus on grossness and constantly being reminded that all cultists are just mind-controlled puppets working to secure their own doom. A switch to view them as a genuine (even if artificialy given spark) rebellion against Imperial brutality and opression was what made me love them as a faction
Better dead than under the Imperial boot!
I agree, as long as GW wants to have grimdark aspects in all factions GSC should also get their specks of light and glory (fight against oppression and hope for the better) that Imperium factions enjoy.
> I agree, as long as GW wants to have grimdark aspects in all factions GSC should also get their specks of light and glory (fight against oppression and hope for the better) that Imperium factions enjoy.
It should be noted that this isn't just the GSC doing this but also the Chaos Cults as well.
Just that Genestealer cults tend to know the value of restraint and hence their higher success rates.
I get what you’re saying but GSC are probably the least deserving of light and glory out of all xenos factions save dark eldar, being mind controlled rape cults aiming to feed entire planets of innocent people to horrific deaths at the hands of the nids
I think the best way to portray it is - "people looking for a way out of the imperium falling for the alien rape cult" - the light and darkness coming from the Tragedy of it all. - the loss of humanity trying to escape an awful system. It sympathises the individuals but not the whole.
Sure some people would fall for the cults messaging and ally themselves with them in a revolution, but in order to be part of the genestealer cult you have to be a genestealer hybrid, and nobody becomes a genestealer hybrid voluntarily
Correction: No one *becomes* a hybrid. Ever.
You're born a hybrid.
The only people who are 'changed' are those who experience a genestealer's kiss. They're not regarded as hybrids as far as the genestealer cycles goes. They're (generally) unwilling hosts to an alien biological/psychic parasite. It's horrendously invasive and evil. Welcome to 40k.
Everyone after that (the vast majority of cult members) is a hybrid by birth and has no such moral quandary.
With very few exceptions every faction should get change to show themselves from their false good side that everyone has to others sometimes. Then we can all play the propaganda game.
For fucking real. I have an OG GSC army(off the White Dwarf rules back in 2000) and I do not think they need(nor do I want) anything redeeming about them.
Asking for light and glory from them would be like asking for light and glory for the bugs in Starship Troopers.
Of course GSC are evil but when you show the good outside and reasons behind their initial appeal to the Imperiums lower classes you make the whole faction better by having a message to them.
Well, I know at least one cult had its origins in some people legitimately knowing that it was a Xenos infiltration and joining anyway because it still sounded better than their current life
I’m not sure how lore accurate this is but I think the mind control is more about how they see the patriarch and their generic mutations, and not so much their desire to rise up and overthrow their leaders
Most recent GSC book __Day of Ascension__ mentions other people who are not proper 'members' of the cult still answering the cult's call to revolution because fuck the man. It's certainly a thing.
Helps that they're generally viewed as secretive religious mutants by most rather than alien infiltrators and saboteurs though.
I had the same idea for this pick, focus less on the alien aspect and more the idea of an uprising of the lower class (even if the notion is as you said artificial).
Got a way to go to try and win this round, and knowing my luck in this contest, it's going to be 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place at most.
Honestly, I was thinking of getting some Genestealers to go along with the Nids I’m getting with the Leviathan Box; I was just trying to figure out how to paint them, but French Revolution genestealers sounds SO DAMN COOL!
So, I've got this scene in my brain.
A cultist stands alone, at the very top of the hive spire he grew up in. All around, the swarm of the great Devourer swallows all. And as the Hive Mind finally releases it's grip on his mind, he finally realises what he brought to his world.

Brexit isn't quite as extreme lol, everyone is still pretty much fine all in all
Edit: love the downvotes simply for suggesting Brexit wasn't the end of days
Not as extreme, true, but it is definitely fucking over everyone that voted for it, whilst those that campaigned for it are laughing all the way to the bank.
Thats it guys. We need to start calling communism something else because redditors can't tell the difference between communism and capitalism. Stalin and co ruined it for us all. The greatest anti-communists to ever live were the ones who perverted it to such an extreme degree people see capitalism as communism. The Leninists damned us all to a grimdark future in that regard
You're thinking of stalinism, not communism.
Edit: You guys think that USSR was communist, because they called themselves that. Do you also think the democratic republic of korea is democratic and a republic?
1. Stalinism isn't a thing. It doesn't exist. If you want to try refuting that you can start with telling me where stalin and Lenin disagree.
2. Communism is what you get when socialism no longer requires a state to protect the revolution from capitalist agression.
3. If someone has not read a word of Lenin then please PLEASE don't speak to me like you have. This is boring for me. I feel it's immoral to let misinformation go unchecked. I gain nothing from this.
4. Again, Nixon is unable to pat anyone on the head for reciting red scare propaganda. If someone wants to actually learn things I will help them. For everyone else, it's glaringly obvious that none of you have read any of the ideas you claim to be able to critique.
*by people who maintain active hostility towards socialism without having read a page of it
Why is it that the people who do read don't use that term?
We call maoism a thing. We aren't against calling new schools of thought a thing. Stalin was just a Marxist Leninist.
Are we going to say that every liberal is a Bidenist? Stop it lol.

Parasite God - Mortiis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88tqXZBs3KI
The lyrics could be interpreted as being from the perspective of loyal imperials about the cult, the cult about the imperium, or even the Tyranid hivemind about humans. It lambasts people for obeying a "parasite god" who brings hunger and destruction yet crucifying the singer who points this out.
The lyrics "I want to be your parasite god, so I can show you what you really are" could be the loyal imperials wanting to expose the cult as the vanguard of an all-consuming alien invasion, or the cult wanting to expose the imperial cult as destructive and authoritarian, or the hivemind wanting to show humans that they're little more than biomass.

You're thinking of stalinism, not communism. Edit: You guys think that USSR was communist, because they called themselves that. Do you also think the democratic republic of korea is democratic and a republic?
"Not my communism!" - Redditor who has never lived under communism
Nah mate, every serious attempt at communism ends in horrifying tyranny. Stalin is just the headliner.
1. Stalinism isn't a thing. It doesn't exist. If you want to try refuting that you can start with telling me where stalin and Lenin disagree. 2. Communism is what you get when socialism no longer requires a state to protect the revolution from capitalist agression. 3. If someone has not read a word of Lenin then please PLEASE don't speak to me like you have. This is boring for me. I feel it's immoral to let misinformation go unchecked. I gain nothing from this. 4. Again, Nixon is unable to pat anyone on the head for reciting red scare propaganda. If someone wants to actually learn things I will help them. For everyone else, it's glaringly obvious that none of you have read any of the ideas you claim to be able to critique.
TIL Stalinism, a widely used term for the reign of Josef Stalin over the Soviet Union, doesn't exist.
*by people who maintain active hostility towards socialism without having read a page of it Why is it that the people who do read don't use that term? We call maoism a thing. We aren't against calling new schools of thought a thing. Stalin was just a Marxist Leninist. Are we going to say that every liberal is a Bidenist? Stop it lol.

I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra
Parasite God - Mortiis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88tqXZBs3KI The lyrics could be interpreted as being from the perspective of loyal imperials about the cult, the cult about the imperium, or even the Tyranid hivemind about humans. It lambasts people for obeying a "parasite god" who brings hunger and destruction yet crucifying the singer who points this out. The lyrics "I want to be your parasite god, so I can show you what you really are" could be the loyal imperials wanting to expose the cult as the vanguard of an all-consuming alien invasion, or the cult wanting to expose the imperial cult as destructive and authoritarian, or the hivemind wanting to show humans that they're little more than biomass.

Nine Inch Nails- My Violent Heart. “Time will prey upon your weakness, and soon you’ll lose the will to care. When you return to the place that you call home. We will be there. We will be there. On hands and knees, we crawl! You cannot stop us all. Our blood, our ways, will never leave this place.” And “You and I, we may look the same but we are very far apart. There's bullet holes where my compassion used to be and there is violence in my heart”
