Isn't it strange that for such a large IP franchise warhammer 40k has no music theme? Everyone knows that Schindler's List is the orchestral theme of Star Wars and Halo has the Gregorian chant ah ah ah... I personally prefer the Titanfall 2 music intro as my space opera soundtrack, Endless Space 2 has godlike amazing music, I can even hear Bioware's failed Anthem game music trumpet theme lol but Warhammer 40k... nothing. Maybe there is one and I am not aware?
I thought about Dawn Of War 3 (I have not played it) as the wh40k soundtrack, it is made by the bloke who did DREDD the amazing music in that film, but in my opinion his music for DoW3 is not as good it is a bit monotonous and disappointing. I suppose it is basically just an air raid siren AIR RAID SIREN it sounds good and dramatic the first time you hear it, but that is it, there is nothing else just that long wailing noise:
Where There Is Darkness, Paul Leonard Morgan Wh40k Dawn Of War III
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c_8SqBTiJjgIt is ok I guess but it doesn't capture the rich panoply and depth of the 40k universe, I thought it would be clever if he did some baroque stuff with harpsichords and things evoking decadent Rogue Traders etc or a gothic sensibility but you just get the pounding wailing imperial blaring horn / air raid siren etc. The DREDD soundtrack he made was far better. There is also this amusing brief track lol, it is good but he ran out of ideas after 35 seconds...?
WAAAGH Theme Dawn Of War 3
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RQam2vLIfUoThere isn't really any good unique leitmotif for Eldar or Chaos or Orks etc.
>>6081982A while back Bananas on some qtg I think you were requesting some tribal percussion music for the space monkeys, I actually thought about hunting around for some, like the Planet Of The Apes soundtrack (it is mediocre) something space tribal. Well the obvious Kubrick SCI FI MONKEY MUSIC is of course the ape bone monolith scene Also Sprach Zarathustra etc
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e-QFj59PON4There are drums and bone poundings and then spaceship etc.
For some reason, I also thought of this primitive space gladiatorial track from Unreal Tournament lol. Maybe if you were an ape astronaut invading a defenceless planet like some unguarded fooliah 4X game, you would play this
From Below (Unreal Tournament 2004)

Anthem OST Legion Of Dawn
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv8-5B9dwpIThe Anthem game soundtrack is actually ok. It is quite hard finding ethnic space music.
You could also try the dreaded Horizon Zero Dawn, this has some authentic tribal future drums, eg
