THIS QUIET OFFENDS SLAANESH

First of the noise marines since I’m desperate to not paint battleline again. These new kits are badass, havocs are probably my favorite kit out of the normal csm line, and the new noise marines are very similar which I am very much a fan of.

Also got my basing down. My EC are bringing mayhem and color to the barren deserts of the galaxy with perfect execution.

Squad #1

Squad #2

Minor details and touch ups aside, like 90% done. Done enough that I’m comfortable posting pictures. After aforementioned touch ups it’s the other half of the battle line in the army box and on to the noise marines

Kill me now

please

What having two balding inducing medias to mf - Guilliman in Hades style!

Also Lucius dreams of homoerotic sword master tension with Sigismund

Do what you will with this.

Sticks and stones will break my bones but chains and whips excite me.

The Lucius book I’m reading is pretty good so far. It’s doing a great job of making me care about a legion I otherwise didn’t. The most memorable part for me is when the leader of the raptor cult in Lucius’s warband takes a spacewalk outside in the warp-infested space of the Eye of Terror; he even cuts himself open intending to sacrifice himself to regain favor with Slaanesh. Except, the daemons lurking in space don’t take him, they barely even regard him except for one that stares him in the eye. Because he’s hollow. He doesn’t have any soul left to give, nor anything else that they’d even want. It stuck with me, is all.

Also so many people give Lucius shit for the dumpster fire of a person that he is, and it’s great. One time he tries to shit talk this terminator about how he murdered his own brothers for that armor and the terminator immediately claps back, “Bro you literally mutilated that guy that tried to mutiny not 2 weeks ago, if you really care about legion brotherhood you’ll stfu.”

Also while waiting for my army box to arrive I’ll be reading Lucius: the faultless blade by Ian St. Martin. The only book I read that’s exclusively about the Emperor’s Children was Fulgrim, and I haven’t read a modern 40K EC book yet.

I probably should, I hear the Fabius books slap hard

Anyway,

Have an eastern red bat, on the house

Ok fine I’ll start an EC army

Finished product of a singular jump pack intercessor. Using some reiver and other Phobos bits because the unfortunate reality is that only like 2 out of however many Phobos units are like actually good. So some head and arm swaps later I now have myself some jump pack reivers? I guess? They’ll come out good methinks.

Blissed out in the slop

Bought myself some AK streaking grime off Amazon a little bit ago for like 12 bucks and it arrived today. So while waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds to compile shaders I slapped it on a company heroes champion that I was gonna post when the unit was done all pretty looking being led by my fistgar, but uh…

I’m just gonna put a before and after

Before.

After.

Might take more pics when it’s actually day out and I can get semi decent lighting but holy shit it’s fucking night and day. This is the EXACT vibe that I wanted when I started painting IF.

Bladeguards work just fine for victrix proxies, probably better normally since bladeguard can actually be posed lmao

Oough

Apparently the Imperial fists DO have a named chapter master by the name of Gregor Dessian, but the only real information is his name and that he used to be the captain of the 7th company. GW probably doesn’t even know what he looks like probably, and that’s a shame.

Bits are from Marneus Calgar, Fafnir Rann, Iron Father Feirros, a chopped up heavy intercessor backpack, and a bundle of pouches and a hand cannon I nabbed from the company heroes kit because I panicked and fucked up cutting the tabard. I think it kind of works. Will probably proxy the vitrix guard with some bladeguard and turn the Sgt. into a Lt.

Please ignore the ultra toilet seat on the cape I’m begging you pleasepleaseplease

I really gotta start working on basing…

Space marine/guardsmen dynamic a la Grimaldus and Andrej (Titus and Mira?) but it’s an imperial fist and a guardsmen standing on a wall and the guardsmen keeps attempting to shoot the shit but the fist is all blank and stoic so the guardsmen makes a final hailmary and offers him a lho stick (40K cigarette) and is like “Do you guys even smoke?” And that finally gets a reaction where the fist looks at him and it looks like he’s gonna give a curt no before hesitating and taking it.

And then he has to kneel down so the guardsmen can light it.

Is this anything?

Loyalists aren’t as kitbashable. What a stupid take. What a moron. What a fucking buffoon. Glad I’m not this guy.

We’ll see how it turns out.

Yellr

Unfortunately the loyalists don’t have as much of a capacity for kit bashing than I’d like

not that it’s not there, this is a judiciar proxy from a reiver head and an old company champion. I think the normal judiciar model is a little goofy with the bandanna. Anyway I guess I’m loyalist now idk
