The Chaos Gate soundtrack, of all the WH40K game soundtracks, remains my favourite. The latin-ish choral elements, dark, gothic themes, and mix of instrumental elements makes for a soundtrack that I've listened to for years, and used when Im playing tabletop games.
This game is so old, and yet it has the imho best Soundtrack for Warhammer 40.000. It doesn't sound like Music made for that universe. It sounds like Music made BY that universe.
I bought this game when it first came out and was taken aback by the awesomeness of the soundtrack, It still holds up well to this day and is criminally underrated.
This was the best Warhammer 40k Game ever. The concept was pure strategy. The music and the graphic gave it real good atmosphare. And the storyline made it addicting :-) I remember I always ran out of Marines late missions. In the very last mission with these small isles I had my last marines deployed lol.
Memories! This is the first Warhammer game I played, on a Windows 95 pc, good old times, hope Gog . Com will take this under it's wings, I am totally going to buy it if they do.
This was one of the first games I ever played. I was around 7 years old by the time and didn't even know English. But wow this game has so much nostalgia to me. Killing off the Chaos army one step at a time. (I even have a Warhammer related profile picture, haha!)
I always thought the music for this game was brilliant. It really captured the essence of the Space Marines and 40K in general. Really gothic and brooding.
Gotta agree with you here. Dawn of War have an alright soundtrack, some themes being excellent. But this music has a lot more of the "Grimdark 40k essence" (TM) injected into it, especially the UM chant as you mentioned as well as some other tunes.
Easily the best music written for 40K so far. If only Dawn of War had had music this good. Simply beautiful - thematic, atmospheric, stirring. I use it when writing my Space Marine fiction.
ARBAAL1522 It'll be with me to the grave. "Do i take the plasma or the flamer for this mission?..... hmmmmmmm" Then about an hour later I start the mission.
@radizero In Chaos Gate you were one ship with an under strength company on I believe, as you were returning from a crusade and had sustained heavy casualties. In DoW II you were not the whole chapter, you were elements of IV Company left behind to supervise recruiting on Calderis, IIRC, hence why are technically so under strength (a company would have more than one tactical squad, one assault squad, etc.), but for some reason you have an unlimited supply of reinforcements :P
@radizero The SM themselves were beefed up (which was good, since in DoW 1 they went down like butter), but my point is the fact that you had an inexhaustable supply of manpower provided you could get a squad to a reinforcement point (obv it cost resources on multiplayer, but I'm referring to the campaign). In Chaos Gate, however, once a marine dies, he's not coming back.
oh, i forgot to mention on my virtual pc when i run win98 my wallpaper desktop is the picture on the box of my Space Hulk board game that i scanned many years ago. very inspiring.
Their heart was in the right place... voice acting was superb, soundtrack was amazing, they got Dan Abnett to do the script... it just didn't come together as well as it could have. Probably for budget reasons.
Yeah, everytime I lost a man, I loaded, to see if I could do it better, because every man was presious, while in DoW, there is no limit on how many new units one can get. Loved this game.
hadnt thought about virtual machines. have had my copy of chaos gate sat here for years because it kept glitching on my xp pc and wont even run at all on my win7 laptop so gonna go find myself a guide for setting up a win98 virtual machine and see if i can get it to cooperate. if it does work and i can get back onto chaos gate then you will officially be my new best friend for giving me the idea :P for the Emperor!
@Henners1991 Yeah ur'e right, i remember when someone died (i played the game very, very young) and i got very sad. I'm feeling you, the fact that in Chaos Gate you only had a handful of space marines meant that you "got to know them" etc. However in Chaos Gate, they're only a fleet correct? In DoWII the whole chapter stands behind you. But you're right. =)
@ChildOfTheEmperor Ouch being a fan of 40k includes DOW, Chaos gate, Final Liberation, Space Marine, Horus heresy, Word bearers, storm of iron, nightlords, Liber Chaotica, Ultramarines, Grey Knight, Eldar trilogy, etc. hell if going to sell myself short on just one thing and it was DOW that got me started :D
@radizero On the last level you're rescued by a whole Company (under Angelos) though, and in Chaos Rising you encounter the first Company (veterans and honour guard) as well as Angelos' Company, I don't think it's specified who was made the new Captain of IV Company after Thule's entombent... I'm also not sure as to whether all of IV Company is present, but again you seem under strength... though other Blood Raven forces are nearby ofc so it's likely you're just in charge of a strike force.
@MedievalDragoon For real dude, I had this in 98 I was only 9 and not that good at all LOL but now I have it and im working on beating it, I swear these old games have something that games today lack, music is one thing lol
okay you're now my new best friend lol few graphics issues atm where if i move the screen it looks a little weird but i just zoom out/in again and it works. minor pain but i can live with it
In common maybe, but Tyranid Attack (a sci-fi dungeon game, like Space Hulk and Space Crusade, in which you explored a Tyranid hive ship with a view to destroying it,) dates from around a decade BEFORE Starship Troopers. Certainly, recent versions of Tyranids have conformed with Starship Troopers, (and old U.E.M.C.(tm) stalwart Andy Chambers wrote a Starship Troopers game, shortly after leaving. But Tyranids predate Starship Troopers. Richard Halliwell's Space Hulk was based upon Aliens.
@TheDrunkenCelt Dude I know this older posting lol but I agree with you, I was wondering that the other day about how bad ass a Warhammer 40K movie would be or now a new game.
i just rage quit a mission on an industrial world, stupid obsticals blocking my shots, but chaos marines and cultists can get their shots off,,GRRRR!!! lost my comander, i been leveling up all my dudes,,, they are NOT expendable!!! i always play the hardest difficulty. i LOVE the music, it sets the mood,,, sometimes i just listen to it,,,, i always listen to it when i play dawn of war,,,,, i play on win98 in virtual machine,, works great, no cultist glitches at all.
you can go into the cd and set the installer to run under windows 98/ME (i found it worked best under these) and it should install, to play it you have to do pretty much the same thing, change the compatibility mode to 98/ME
my saved game got corrupted!! GRRR i was halfway through the campain!! DARN DARN DARN I was so lookin forward to crushing the enemy with my Terminator Marines,,,,when you play the hardest difficulty there is no going back to old save games,,,,,, dang, love that music,,,
get them for free for getting a audio converter, just download oen for free, and then copy and paste the link and you have the song, its what i do all the time and it never fails
And 'Nids were ripped off of xenomorphs which were ripped off of the Bugs. I don't like using the phrase "ripped off" though because unless it's exactly the same, it was probably just inspiration.
Nicely prepared! I came to know the track name from your videos. But it seems that you are missing 3 additional tracks. I have a total of 13 tracks in all. d@@b
If you had the game u could get them... Or if you know someone who has it - I'd get you them but... I no longer have Chaos gate - It snapped on me recently :(
I also listen to this music while i play Space Crusade in dosbox, or with virtual pc, Space Crusade is also a really coold game, i always get so anoyed when a soul sucker (i pretend its a genestealer) pops up next to my dude and kills him,,, arrrghhhh great game, I just with they had done Space Hulk like they did Space marine, turn based, view from above, or like chaos gate, and loyal to the board game, not real time FPS, crap that they did. ARRghh!! Stand Firm Brothers!!
This game kicked so much ass! I was actually considering buying an old PC to load DOS on it so I can play this title again. Sure wish they'd make another turn-based tactical 40k game.
@Henners1991 But Dawn of War 2 does a better job showing that. Your Scout/Tactical/Assault/Devs squad are 3 men squads, with a sergeant being able to lead them. The marines rarely dies in DoW2 Single/Multiplayer. They are very expensive but, man...they sure are awesome.
Does anybody else listen to this music while they're painting their models? ... I'm doing some traitor legion Imperial Guard right now ... it seems fitting lol.
@EinherjarServitor No, sorry, the people at Relic are too busy making consoled strategy versions of CoD on steroids to pay any attention to what people who are actually interested in Warhammer lore care. We should all be 16 year olds with Xboxes. I seriously miss the times when producers made games that fans wanted to play, not games that can be played by a chimp from NASA just to sell more copies. There might still be hope yet... So much nostalgia listening to this.
Well to DoW's defense, it's basically a glorified tabletop-fast paced game instead.. So to oddly phrase it. Anyway, I just went for Terminators in DoW and went GG. Blood Angel Terminators! Aah.. I miss Space Hulk 2~
That's the funny thing. In the narrative, a Space Marine can punch the air so hard that it creates a shockwave which blows up the heads of anyone unlucky enough to be nearby. But in the game, they really aren't that hard to kill.
Zerg is the rip-off of Tyranids, not the other way about :P Aaanyway, you must understand that it'd be a bit hard to convey (and a bit silly) to have a unit of 5 Terminators wipe the floor with an entire army! Got to forsake 'realism' for gameplay a bit :)
No. Warcraft was originally supposed to be a Warhammer game but the deal fell through. Starcraft has no official relation to 40k. Blizzard was heavily inspired by Warhammer, but as a company has nothing to do with any Games Workshop universe. Warhammer - published 1983 Warcraft - published 1994 Warhammer 40k - published 1987 Starcraft - published 1998
I used to play Nurgle marines on the tabletop game about a decade ago but i stopped when they came out with the tyranids and necrons. The idea that some zergling rip-offs can wipeout a squad of 500+ year old assualt terminators in one assualt action is bulls***. Nothing comes close to a Space Marine... period.
@@Boldark ;) Still listen to this soundtrack on a regular basis. And found it on GOG. That version works on windows 10 with 0 issues. So I've been playing it non stop for 2 days.
Yeah, Space Marines are the ultimate Mary-Sue of perfect blind fanboyism, nobody can do them anything ! Oh, wait, Space Hulk :P. And that was long before Starcraft. SISTERS OF BATTLE WILL ERADICATE ALL MARINES !!!
