Yeah I'd prefer the guitars get saved for the anniversary nostalgia models like the 2018 Noise Marine. Keep them away from the actual range

But these aren't noise marines, these are just cacophony marines.

I'll narrow it down to guitars.

They developed sonic weapons in the heresy leading the kakaphoni linked above. They were only ever guitars in the 80's/early 90's goofy cheesy era of 40k

And in one nostalgia-hit limited model a few years back.

Small correction, though released as a Christmas model the Noise Marine isn't limited. It's currently online only on GW's store, but it's still available. I bought one last week. The difference to the original release is that it comes in a clampack instead of the original box in the vain of current commemorative series models. And the price...

This message was brought to you by the president of the People With Taste Prefer Noise Marines With Guitars Society.

Oh, didn't know it was still available! Thanks
But then I struggle to find anything on the current GW website...

I can't imagine why they would not have the EC guitars, it's an iconic unit, more so than Goff rockers.

Is this Nemesis Claw something that a person can purchase or is this something that you had to have purchased during the 3 hours it was available before it sold out forever? And if the latter, why are they releasing rules now if not to drive sales?

Uh, somewhere in between?

There are ton of them on ebay as well if you really want it

If only they conferred stealth to attached characters. Unfortunately, they don't.

40k has crawled up its ass and sniffed its colon too much if we can't have death guitar armed units, but church organ missile launchers and maugan ra grim reaper edgelords are fine.

Don't forget Ork Goff Rokkers.

So long as the noise marines are shouting "Maaaaaauuuuu - DIB!" when they fire, its all gravy.

Anyone who doesn't want a guitar army of slaanesh noise marines has clearly managed to miss both Brutal Legend the game and Mad Max 4.

I've missed brutal legend, I've seen mad max however. But I also know that a guitar is not the only noise making instrument, doesn't look very weapon like anyway and would be boring AF having a dozen guitar guys all riffing the same gak as you march on. I've seen some people say they want a "band". No. The same guitarist, bassist and drummer models over and over in a unit would look pants.

They need to go nuts, make up some weird ass looking devices and have them look innately disturbing to comprened. More flesh harps etc.

Give them theremins. That instrument is already weird enough it doesn't even need chaosification.

I think it would be more terrifying if I looked across the table and saw a bunch of crazed Marines with banjos.

Ah yes, the "Angels of Deliverance" chapter. Well know for their chapter symbol of a porcine creature in distress.

Maybe some flutes so you can roleplay Perception Check.

Horses with claws. Evolutive eeck. If they were not labeled Empire I'd say they are cool traitor guardsmen.

Krieg artillery looking damn fine, but wake me up when they give Catachan the spotlight.

Loved everything about Eldar except no new Dire Avengers. That's sorely missing.

No hurry for the Avengers to be updated as it would mean a severe jump in price. As lovely as the new aspect kits are, they are painfully overpriced.

To be fair, the forge world death riders also had clawed feet instead of hooves lol

Lets post all the reveals in here too:

Death Korps:









Eldar:

Wait, this is the best part... Something for Imperial Knights & Adeptus Custodes !

Someone at GW's been reading their Gene Wolfe.

Okay, opinions:

Lord Marshall: looks wonderful, but his weapon option seem to be limited to either Sword and Las Pistol, or Las Pistol and Sword. That's just..... disappointing.

Death riders: totally cool, but I feel this should have been a combo kit with Attilan Rough Riders. Plus side, instead of Spears it looks like the can swap out to Swords. That's neat

Artillery and heavy weapons squads look dope as gak. Love them, will be picking up/converting an artillery piece.

Eldar: good all across the board, and I REALLY like the Warp Spider PL, he's sweet. That knocks a lot of the metal/resin remnants of the 1990's off the wishlist.

Yes the Warp Spider Phoenix Lord is a female.

Also as I have no idea how to pronounce her name and will have trouble spelling it too, I shall call her Spider-Woman for the time being.
Possibly Gwen Stacy or Jessica Drew.

Awesome figure btw!

Those new Death Korps models are really nice. There are a lot of the characterful details, like the broom-handled laspistol on the Engineer sergeant (looks as though the Engineers are just an upgrade sprue, however). The command squad looks especially good, and suitably sinister.

No options because the model is Lord Marshal Varnan Dreir and Named Characters don't have weapon options. Just build options so every single one doesn't have to look the same.

Might be the paintjob bit I find the not-hooves of the horses really nasty. Might get used to them when they're not as pronounced. I understand they didn't want to take boring horses and bionics would have put them even closer to Squighogs, but I'm not sure yet if I like that look.
Other than that good looking stuff all around. Makes me wonder how good they mix with the upcoming WGA Damned stuff. Scratch off some eagles and they're nice looking renegades.
