Not sure if anyone cares anymore, seeing as I'm conducting threadomancy, but I find a good DVD like Band of Brothers, A Bridge Too Far, or Patten to be excellent for painting guardsmen.  Movie soundtracks are pretty good too.  For speed painting I can recommend the Bourne soundtracks!

I don't see any harm in resurrecting this thread ::)

It's funny how music and lifestyle tend to be intermingled, although obviously there will be outliers...

I listen to stuff like Tool, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and the odd bit of heavier stuff like Fear Factory or Sepultura while painting. However, being more of a social painter it's the chat and the feedback from fellow painters that I find most important.

Interesting to see several mentions of Alice in Chains, so I thought I could just gloat a little bit that I saw them in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago - totally immense I might add!  :D

Cheers,
A.

Threads that reoccur often are usually put in index threads for future use, and posting in those isn't threadromancy as it avoids redundancy.  The benefit of listening to music while playing is one such thread.

The threadromancy rule exists for a reason, includinge keeping-down 5 year old army critique threads made by long-dead users using an obsolete Codex.

John Coltrane does it for me. Also Incubus or Pearl Jam.

Sometimes I'll do rock, new or classic, but most often I put on one of my many shows (mythbusters, Heroes, American dad, etc.) on the web, and paint while I listen to the show.

I like 80's rock, cuz I can sing along and not feel like I'm ruining the music! Or, Star Trek. Last year, I watched six of the seven seasons of TNG painting 1,500 points worth of IG. What's frustrating is that my SMurf playing friend painted his 1,500 in only two seasons of Battlestar Galactica!

If I watched Battlestar Galactica while painting, I don't think I would get any work done. -_-

Music while painting? Rarely.

Watching/listening to stuff on Youtube and Adult Swim? Yes.

I listen/watch different stuff while working on my 40k models, to get me into the mood. Real military docts: Guard and Marines. UFO Hunters and Monster Quest: Dark Eldar and Night Lords. I just do Adult Swim anytime I feel like it.

If I do listening to music, its 'emo/screamo' music for Night Lords and Dark Eldar. Seems like I get better ideas for those models while listening to that music.

i prefer having a movie on my laptop while i paint. i could paint for hours this way. i recommend a movie on that you have seen before, so you can concentrate more on the paint job and less on whats going on.
