“Coming Home From Tarwin’s Gap” and “Dance With Jak O’ Shadows” both from The Wheel of Time.
Although helldivers is currently in a bad spot right now, the battle/fall of malevelon creek actually did get a sabaton inspired song and it’s pretty good. I’m actually subbed to the guitar solo guy’s patron so it was a nice surprise to see his name in the credits.

Context for those unfamiliar: Helldivers 2 is a live service third person shooter heavily inspired by starship troopers. The overall “story” is created by the game master and community through objectives. Up until this point, the only enemies were bugs, which were largely melee units and not terribly dangerous if you kept your distance. Malevelon creek was the first planet where many players encountered the automatons, who absolutely shoot back. That, combined with the dense foggy jungle planet, lead to significant difficulty in reclaiming the planet. Eventually the supply lines got cut off, meaning no players could enter the planet. The ones already there could still stay and fight, which many did for 3 desperate days before the planet finally fell.

As a 40k fan, there are so many good ones (as comes as a surprise to no one). Some personal favorites of mine are:
- Anything from the 3rd war for Armageddon
- The battle of Hellsreach
- The invasion of Rin’s world
- Istvan V dropsite massacre
- And of course the fall of Cadia
“Fiction or fantasy”
What? Fantasy is fiction.
