Everyone knows that Rockhammer 40k times were the best times.
The idea of fighting your enemies with guitar solos in the Grim Darkness of Far Future is just too hilarious to pass.

Aren't Slaaneshi Noise Marines exactly that?

Quote from: Lexicanum, itself quoting the CSM 4th Edition Codex
Their trademark is the use of devastating Sonic Weaponry that confuses and demoralizes enemy forces in a wild show of "deafeningly loud, psycho-sonically and pyrotechnically explosive attacks."
Sounds exactly like a deathmetal concert.

Yes, but when uncut fun was made illegal in 2004 they had to change the Noise Marines from "literally a black metal band living in hell who kill people with guitar sound" to "use guns that emit sonic waves".

In what way are dubstep cannons that literally cause explosions not fun?

They're not weaponized guitars.

Shitty dubstep is objectively worse than metal/rock. Guitaraxes ftw.

So genestealer cults apparently are going to have rules to represent subverted guard regiments, and will be able to take a number of guard vehicles and some units by the sound of it.

I sincerely hope we get Ogryn-Hybrids. The potential for mauling would be extreme.

I wonder how your average Ogryn compares to a purestrain Genestealer in a test of strength.

Pure strength? I think Ogryns are stronger, but not as fast or clawed or smart...

They oddly enough seem to look like legit sonic guns instead of amps on a stick

The Ogryn is considerably stronger than a purestrain Genestealer, but a bit weaker than a Broodlord or Patriarch.

TT a Genestealer is S4, Ogryn, Broodlords and Patriarchs are S5, Genestealers and Broodlords can buy Furious Charge to be +1S when they assault.

In the RPGs a genestealer has SB8, an Ogryn should have a SB around 10-12 based on marines, though in Only War they're only about 3 points above a guardsman and 2 below a marine because of stupid balance decisions to make Ogryn players not all but immune to small arms fire, despite the fact they're supposed to be all but immune to small arms fire.
