That may be a possibility. I'm also thinking about putting them in the tank commander seat.

On with the updates!

I've got this squad nearly completed. Just one more marine to go and squad "Make You Sin" will be finished. I'm also planning on makeing a banner for this squad. Well, each squad.

First, making a guest appearance on bass - err blastmaster - Bootsie Collins!



I just couldn't resist.

Here's 4 recently completed Sonic Blaster weilding CSM's.



Like the 'hawks?

Here's the squad so far.



I still need to trade out the champ's bolter for a Sonic, but I think I'm going to use the spare Blastmaster I have for that. Just shorten it up and turn it forward so he's holding it with one hand. Yay! More conversions!

The CSM with the pigtails is next. After that don't expect much until a few weeks from now after I purchase a battleforce.

I'm loving the idea behind this. The pig-tailed helmet is awesome. Need to see that painted up

Working on it.

Just a quick update while the green stuff hardens. Started working on my marine in drag.

Alert the Dark Angels that the Sacred Falsies and Holy High Heels have gone missing from their armoury, along with a few frocks.



It's a start, it's a little rough, but it should look pretty cool when done.



And here it is with my "slut boots" that I based the heels off of. I considered naming this one after me and making it a special character, but to make it realistic I would need a WS of -10. I can't hit the broad side of a barn even with the assistance of a scope and a laser.

OMG those shoes are awesome, i might have to do a slaanesh squad with those types of shoes now.

Indeed I do! Nicely done, and I'm feeling like giving one a shot tomorrow - I need to replace an autocannon with a plasma gunner, and my army has a shocking 0 mohawks at the moment

- Salvage

Not a bad start. Have you looked into any Dark Age models? They have LOTS of nurse types with leather, electrical tape nip coverage, gas masks and syringes, usually all on the same model. Depending on the model the scale sort of orbits around GW's 32mm, some a bit bigger, some a tad smaller. They fit in well with my SoB lasses, so they should make your marines look properly pumped.
I look forward to seeing more!

Those heels are mega! nice work

@ LordBoJangles - Thank you. I think in that pic it's pretty clear to see how they were done. If you have questions, I'll try to help. I totally guessed at how to do them.

@ Boss_Salvage - Thank you. Let me know how they turn out.

@ Wehrkind - just took a quick look. I think I'm going to have to look closer, thank you!

@ Bash the Bosh - Thank you .

I did pick up an Emperor's Children Lord that is actually going to be used as the noise champ for my other squad (Let Them Eat Distortion). About the only conversion I can see myself doing on him is to make his plasma pistol look more like a sonic device.

I think I just felt a shiver running down my spine.. a great Noise Marine theme..

Nice green-stuffing.

looking really good, i would say Pm Doctor Thunder, he's done some nice work in this style. he could definitely be of some help too you.

FerrumIgnatus - Thank you.

The Good Green - Thanks, I've never used the stuff before. I built model cars when I was younger and modded some of them heavily. Back then I used Bondo for this kind of work. I'm finding the GS a lot easier to sculp, though it does take too long to harden.

devilkin - I've heard of that guy, didn't he do an all female SM army?

Got a little more done on the drag queen, not pics to post yet.

Also got a Emperor's Children Chaos Lord that I will be using for the Champion of the other Noise Marines squad. He's about ready for paint.

And now a question - The other squad of noise marines, should they be painted the same? I was also thinking either black with red trim or black with white trim.

yeah he did. You should definetly use a different scheme, just to mix it up.

Love the green stuff Persephone. The whole theme is mega. But I agree with devilkin,mix it up a bit

Thank yous.

I've got the demoted Chaos Lord mostly painted at this point. Went with black armour, red trim, gold on the pipes/speakers. Looks pretty good. Just need a few more details, washes, highlights and he's done. I've also made a banner for the nearly completed squad out of Green stuff. Need to paint some sort of heraldry on it, something that goes with "Make You Sin" And I need to finish the drag marine's frock. So far a skirt has been added. Still needs a top.

I'll take some pics as soon as I get a chance, do more work, take more pics. It's my "Friday" so I'll have a few days off soon to do stuff. Anyone know if the Chaos Battleforce comes with a vehicle accessories sprue? I need some of the gargoyle heads.

It doesn't, but i have a ton of spares. Pm me if you want them.

I followed your link to the Angelspit website.......I don't feel the same anymore.....like an un-trained psyker looking into the warp.......

@devilkin - Thank you

@Bash the Bosh - That's awesome. Have you listened to their musics and watched their vids?

And now on with the show -



Here we have the drag marine's painted helm and a hand made banner. Still need to put something on it.



And here she is in her frock, waiting for paint as soon as the green stuff hardens. That base is my Mund Auf Augen Zu from Destroyx's makeup line. (I'm only using it for the pic) I'm wearing a lot of her other colours in my avatar pic.



She caught the attention of my noise champ before I could finish him. Silly Slaanesh cultists.



I got him away long enough to finish him.



Through some stroke of tactical genius, Pedro Kantor appeared. I think I heard "Creed!" being screamed.



He made me photograph him, I wasn't about to argue. Actually, he belongs to my girlfriend. She painted him too. I don't argue with her either.

You could use the pigtailed head for a possesed marine/ Daemonette conversion.

I suggest maybe a Posessed squad of kinky nurses or Lesser Daemon pack modelled around silent hill esque nurses..

As a major slaanesh lover, and devout follower I seldom say this, but that stuff "To Me mind you" is so far removed it's not even funny. I understand the modeling after a band, but the whole marine in drag and stuff really seems to me to be taking this to a level that I would not play against. Slaanesh isn't just about kinky nurses and sex it is about the lust of the kill, the joy and seduction of wholesale slaughter. All of the sinful pleasures not just lust. I'm sorry, and I think your creativity is a good thing I can not say anything constructive about this army.

I don't think you have a clue as to what you are talking about. For starters, if you want killing and slaughter, talk to Khorne. Slaanesh is about pleasures, lust, excess, perfection and hedonism.

I think you need to go back and read the entire thread. This was inspired from the song "Let Them Eat Distortion" on Angelspit's Hideous and Perfect CD. Let's take a look at just the first verse and the chorus -

Sweet Gluttony, she says to me
Kill 'till you go insane with pleasure
Let me scream, obesity
Bloody curses for a god who cannot hear
My carcass, my carcass, swells with excitement
Grand things luscious with tar in their hair
My duchess, mistress, bloody dementia
Bless the bread with Saint Anthony's fire

Buildings will fall
Heaven don't care
Gods in contortion
(Let them eat distortion)

I'm seeing excess. I'm seeing lusts and pleasure. Yeah there's killing, but there's the taking pleasure in it. Heck I'm seeing a little of all the Chaos gods in this. But that last line, the title of the song, sounds like the perfect battle cry for a Noise Marine.

Which quite accurately fits the fluff as described in the Horus Heresy novels. Angelspit makes use of modular analogue synths and rather bizarre homemade instruments. Hence their music does not sound like what would classically be described as musical instruments. It's very discordant and distorted. Just like how the sonic weapons were described (in Fulgrim I think), they were instruments first. While I've seen rock and metal themed Noise Marines in the past, but industrial, more so cyberpunk industrial, is more fitting.

So where does the marine in drag come in to play? Well, Slaanesh can appear as male, female, both, neither. Sounds kinda like a drag queen to me. Also, I know the band personally. I moderate their message board and I am even listed in the "thank yous" on their latest CD. Both Zoog and Destroyx like drag queens. If anything it's comic relief and an inclusion of things the band members like. There's other rationale for it in this thread as well. If anything, it's called a sense of humour, maybe Tzeentch can bless you with one if Slaanesh won't.

The nurses? Angelspit has a medical theme, also mentioned previously. Their first album was titled "Nurse Grenade."

The intention was more about the band than about 40K fluff, but it's not really that far removed. There latest work has been referred to by ReGen Magazine as "an unforgiving bitch slap to a society gone mad." There's a great many things Slaanesh to be found on it as well as their other works.

There's probly going to be more in this army you won't like, I can see it now. Here's some other things that will in some manner be included or represented in some way-

Fabius Bile
Scalpel and syringe wielding CC squad
More scalpels and syringes along with other medical goodies on defilers
Pills (note the grenades on the noise champ)
Analogue modular synths
I was going to include a possessed squad and I'm really liking the above suggestions (thank yous!!!!!)
At least one vehicle will have speakers/MP3 device
More mohawks, dreads, hairfalls, what ever else I can think of to make them look cyberpunk
and CUPCAKES! (I baked cupcakes for the band the last time they were in town, but KMFDM ate most of them)

Love it or hate it, I really don't care. I'm having fun.

tl;dr version: you don't know what you are talking about, read the whole thread, I have my reasons, don't care if you don't like it.

And as just a final blow because I'm in kind of a mean mood, at least the girl in my avatar is me and not the model I spend my lonesome existence drooling mindlessly over.

I, for one, love it. It's a very unique yet characterful take on the whole thing. The drag queen idea just so works in my mind. Tim Curry from Rocky Horror, only in Power Armour wielding high power weapons.. I approve!

First off you obviously do care, and as I stated I like the idea of all the conversions, and I knew you would take it completely wrong, but I am stating my opinon, and if you don't like it well put me on ignore or just don't post. As for the avatar thats a lame shot btw and your getting a little personal here over a comment that I said. I am far from lonesome trust me(happily married), and i just stated that I don't like your theme. It is a love it or hate it, but if you can't take the criticism then just don't post because not everyone is gonna like your work TOUGH!. I will however pay you the complement that your gs is smooth and you do have some talent on that end to make some solid stuff down the line.

In which case there is absolutely no excuse for making personal attacks against posters leaving feedback. Not all feedback will be positive... that's life. Try not to take it personally.

If you feel that a post steps over the line, alert the mods. Resorting to personal attacks will just get you a holiday from Dakka and a locked thread.

Not to change the topic...

In the first pic from the last batch, it looks like the helmets are on pedestals. I really liked it as a terrain piece, but I was surprised to see you weren't gonna use the pigtails...
Then I realized the heads were still on the sprue.

It would make for a fantastic terrain to back up a magic user or something: a dressing table, or vanity with a bunch of alternate helmets and armour plates... or what have you.

Aside from my misconceptions, your paint job and color scheme are looking good. And your greenstuff work is coming along very well. I can't remember if you said already, but: are you going to be greenstuffing more than one model for this army?

I'm loving the idea, and sure Slaanesh isn't just about sex/ lust, but that's because Slaanesh embodies all exces, and thereby all amibiton and desire, as I see it. So I'd say a Slaaneshi marine cult can easily be rockers/ smexy nurses. Warp, you could even add berzerkers if you wanted, because what are berzerkers besides marines going for an excess of carnage?

Anyway, keep up with the cool work. As a slaanesh fan, I am personally completely for this. Keep the funness/ smexy marines coming, lol

I love the idea although I never heard of AngelSpit before this thread. (Thanks for introducing me to a awesome group )

I think converting a demonette to look like Destroyx would work nicely. Maybe attempting to model the syringe back thing of Fabius Bile with green stuff and other bitz.

The drag marine.....Awesome. I haven't watched any Angelspit videos or listened to any of their music for two reasons:

1. That route leads to Traitorious Excommunitoris

2. I don't think my stereo speakers could handle it.....

Im inclined to defend the OP on this one thing is your post to her sounded like a put down from the word go too many people on here take a swipe and then hide behind MODS so dude if your going to insult a woman dont then run away when she has a go back.

To the OP your army is refreshing and original dont let this douche put you off damn fluffnazi.
