As an Emperor's Children player - is there ANY way to win games without taking units from other gods? I have tried several lists consisting of Noise Marines with various setups and lash lists, but with little success. This isn't tournament-level gaming, but it seems really hard to compose a strong list without using Plaguemarines or Beserkers, neither of which are desired. Any ideas?

I used to run footslogging Space Wolves against a guy playing Noise Marines and got thrashed every game. The moment I switched to a mech army he couldn't touch me. The problem with Noise Marines is anti-armor. They've got nothing good for it. If you have princes with wings, you might be able to do some vehicle wrecking. You could try adding in a tank hunting unit, in the form of a predator, havocs, or obliterators.

Tried a Predator, Vindicators, and Defilers. Usually doesn't turn out too well.

Two Obliterator can be very useful.
But to be fair Noise Marines are a waste.
Best just to get the Noise Champion with a Doom Siren and the rest just the smallest,cheapest squad,put them in a Rhino and have him scream out the window as they drive by.


I collect all Slaanesh too. But I agree it is hard to win,I did have to get some 1k sons to bulk my army up.
