This is a question that some of our group were asking earlier last week.

Last night, the question was answered when we got a rendition of the song below! Queue the music:

Ohhhhhhhhh......
I am the very model of a perfect codex techmarine;
My armour Omnissian red and not Aurora Chapter green,
I've studied Techno-lingua and on pilgrimage to Mars I've been,
I know the secret rituals to service any failed machine.

(He knows the secret rituals to service any failed machine)

I am most studied, too, now in Forbidden Lore Mechanicus,
Collegias Explorator, Skitarii, and Titanicus,
They fitted me a servo-arm to boost my strength up awfully,
And told me not to mess around with anything Tech-Heresy.

(And told Him not to mess around with anything Tech-Heresy)

A Signum and a cogitator for ballistic calculus;
With targeting advice for all the patterns of the Leman Russ:
In short, in matters tactical and technical and in between,
I am the very model of a perfect codex techmarine.

I'm serving with the Deathwatch now until the day that I expire,
because once just to prove a point a Thunderhawk I did hot-wire,
Our Chapter Master was inside, it sadly later did transpire.
At least I'll never have to man another bloody Thunderfire.

(At least He'll never have to man another bloody Thunderfire)

I'm fighting with the Deathwatch of the infamous Ordo Xenos
On special operations with an anti-alien ethos.
I hope right now that fairly soon they will break out exotic gear,
The standard issue weaponry I find depressingly austere.

(The standard issue weaponry He finds depressingly austere)

I'm used to seeing combat from the inside of a battle tank,
I'm not sure that'll happen here without somebody pulling rank.
Except some eccentricities that by this point you will have seen
I am the very model of a perfect codex techmarine!

You deserve a medal. That was beautiful. Who would have thought Gilbert and Sullivans Pirates of Penzanse would still live on in the 41st millenium?

That was absolutely sodding brilliant! 10/10!

Best. Song. Ever.

That was brilliant! Well done!

E

now all we need is this done as a audio or web vid lol

Definitely pointing my techmarine player at this! =D

I'm currently playing a techmarine in one campaign. Hilarious!

Impressive to say the least! Very good adaption.

I see a techmarine on stage, standing on a knee giving the area with an utmost basso!

Now I've got this image in my head of a techmarine pimping up Rhinos and Razorbacks with extra speakers so that he can link into all of them and blast the enemy with Three Little Initiates From Mars Are We (a seminal classic)...
