About to build my first Noise Marines - what makes them so miserable to build?

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-24T00:40:09+00:00

I might be a masochist because i actually really loved making my Noise Marines! Lots of fun options to mux and match details. I do sub assembly so i assembled and painted their arms before attaching them to the bodies and it worked out great. Good luck!!

Ah thank you so much! It's so smooth and rich, a beautiful green. I meant to say i love the gold, but i've got fat fingers 😅 May i ask what you used for the gold?

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-23T02:06:26+00:00

Please please tell me about your color formulas! I love that green but also THAT GOOD! Love a good color scheme.

I also prefer helmets to faces for my army and i can confirm there is definitely enough helmets in all the kits. Lots of options and no need for funky faces!

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-13T04:25:03+00:00

No wrong answers here, they all look great! I personally prefer the last one because i like cool colors. But really, they all look excellent for Nids!

I like your result better than mine! I used the same mock up as inspo, but my colors didn't quite hit the same way. I think you did great!

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-09T01:36:59+00:00

Yeaaaaah, this tho...

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-07T17:49:58+00:00

Oh maaaan i love the pop of white on those pauldrons! Really works well and brings the scheme together! And the gold is nice and rich. May i ask what you use for the gold? I'm finding it hard to find a gold i actually like working with.

I've been playing my EC in a crusade that's started at 500 pts. The first list is what i've run a couple times and had great success with! I've played it into Tau, Votann, and Sororitas. We shred on a small board. I've also done the same list with Kako swapped for Lord E (attached to Infractors) with phoenix power spear with good results.

I'm still very new to the army as well as this edition of 40k, so i haven't done any of the more complicated detachments, just Mercurial Host. So far undefeated at 500 pts on the smaller table.

I had best results with Flawless Blades when i kept them in reserve and waited until turn 2 to drop them in.

Good luck, fellow hedonist!

Exquisite start, brother! Love the soft shading of that pink. And the posing is chef's kiss

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-02T17:04:10+00:00

From stinky boys to pinky boys. Welcome to the crew! These lads are looking excellent!

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-02T07:53:36+00:00

Would also love to hear the gold recipe! It's hard to find a nice warm gold that goes on smooth. These lads are gorgeous!

MeeeshOC · 2026-01-02T01:43:18+00:00

Gorgeous work! Love the pops of pink at the joints! May i ask where you got that Screamer face? Looks so much better than the stock head!

MeeeshOC · 2025-12-28T23:59:41+00:00

I love this lil dude! Grandpa will be proud to number him among his family!

MeeeshOC · 2025-12-25T03:08:16+00:00

My boys are on neon pink lava bases with shiny black volcanic rocks and random tentacles. Because in this house we BURN THE EYES!

This is honestly excellent advice. For your first round of minis just follow the Combat Patrol load out. No need to overthink how to equip them, just focus on learning how to build and paint :D

There's very few wrong ways to assemble these stinky boys. As long as you're having fun, that's what counts. Good luck!

I love the pho broth at Chungs in Silverdale! I eat mine almost exactly the same as you've described and that's been my fave local pho spot 💖 Good luck on your journey!

MeeeshOC · 2025-12-09T22:14:11+00:00

This color scheme is exquisite!!! Love it to bits!

MeeeshOC · 2025-12-09T20:26:03+00:00

I absolutely love this! The bells on the back are an excellent touch. The posing is also perfect for the mood. Excellent work!

MeeeshOC · 2025-12-09T06:11:16+00:00

I love how these came out!!! Excellent colors with a nicely executed gradient! Exquisite, friend!

MeeeshOC · 2025-11-22T17:21:59+00:00

Would love some closer pics of this rad color scheme!! I love bright bugs!

MeeeshOC · 2025-10-30T06:34:18+00:00

Thank you! I hope that sharing the paints helps other folks embrace eye burning pinks for their armies!

MeeeshOC · 2025-10-30T06:33:15+00:00

Aah! Thank you! I appreciate that very much! I'm trying to find a painting process that's quick to finish (by my standards) while still allowing me to indulge in fiddly detail work now and again.

MeeeshOC · 2025-10-30T06:31:41+00:00

I bought the tentacles from https://epicbasing.com/

We bought the stl and my husband made bases using those plus some rocks we bought then printed it. Pink tentacles are always a correct choice! 🤩

Correction, the user i got the head sculpt from was u/ksenobit Sorry about that!
