Warhammer 40K: Goff Rocker’s New Single Is Out…No, For Real!
The Rock’n’Rollaz at Games Workshop have a new Christmas-ish single out courtesy of the Goff Rocker and it’s kinda catchy.
So uh…I know that Games Workshop said that the Goff Rocker was getting a new single and at the time I thought it was a funny gag. But it turns out that it’s actually a thing. Check out ‘Ere We Go by the Goff Rocker:
“You can stream this track via Spotify and Apple Music right now.
The Goff Rocker’s only dream is to reach number one – not because he cares about joining the ranks of the Spice Girls, Slade, or Mariah Carey in the annals of history, but because he knows that biggest is best, and that you sadly can’t clobber your competition to get to the top of the charts. Trust us, he’s tried.”
So yeah…that’s actually a song you can rock out to! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much, but this was better than it had any right to be!
Goff Rocker Fan Club
If you really want to get into it, there’s also a poster for the Goff Rocker’s “tour” coming to events…it’s pretty cool. But also, check out these dates:
So it uses the Imperial Dating System which is a little…complicated. Note the three dates on Terra: 0265999.M41,0265999.M41, and 0265999.M41. What you really need to know is the Year Fraction:
“For record-keeping, each year is divided into 1000 equal parts, numbered 000-999. Note that this is not generally used by Imperial citizens, but is simply for administrative use. Each increment of the year fraction corresponds to approximately eight hours and forty-five minutes Terran standard.
Rather than dividing the year into approximately 365 days like we do, the Imperium divides the year into 1000 fractions. So, “549” indicates the 549th part of 1000 parts of the year.”
So basically, we’re looking at the Year Fractions: 265, 272, and 278. Using some quick math those dates correspond to sometime in March-April. However, the year is 999 in the 41st Millennium. I dunno what that works out to in reality but it’s kind of fun. Anyhow, I’m not sure if this is some sort of teaser or what. Maybe an Easter Egg that Orks are getting a new book in April of 2023? This is either a really big stretch or a really fun clue.
Regardless, The Goff Rocker is up for Pre-order this weekend from Games Workshop. His new single is out now.
‘Ere we go, Emprah smell, Guilliman ran away…
