Now that sounds kinda cool. Not much for GWAR, but I love me some Hawkwind. Well, mostly the Song of Swords, but still. And Needle Gun, love that song.
This is a perfect example of what was once so brilliant about 40K. The aforementioned Goff Rokk band are another. It's all so boring and serious nowadays.
If my Rogue Trader campaign had continued, my players would have run into Noise Marines. It would have been wonderful.
When the original mini first came out, everyone thought they were Imperial. The fan boys were all over how cool they were. When the White Dwarf with the background and stats came out, they became "lame." I bought them up real cheap and painted up a band.
OK, I'll cave. Bards? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, yeah, chaos marines are awesome. I played a wee bit of WH40K:RT back in the early 90s and loved the 40K take on the forces of chaos.
DeleteI had to know someone would beat me to it. Battle bards, for the win.
DeleteI hate that the newer marines look so boring. These guys are the sex.
ReplyDeleteIf GWAR and Hawkwind toured together.

I always wanted to build a cool noise marine army, but my terrible painting skills nixed that.
Fuck yeah!
ReplyDeleteAnd daemonettes are their groupies, of course. ^_^
Badassery in spades, and buckets.
ReplyDeleteCareful with that axe, Space Marine.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY METAL!!! (and the metal, as it turns out, is lead)
ReplyDeleteI own one of these and I never noticed that there is a little bolter on the bottom. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm talking about the older ones.
Cool, I imagine that behind some of those gasmask helmets is Bootsy Collins.
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day!
Oooo, nice one. I can totally see it.
DeleteI think that the Noise Marines exemplify the most awesome qualities of old 40K.

I have a lovely collection of these dudes...
ReplyDeleteGotta agree, 40k Bards.
ReplyDeleteSo Zak has effectively out argued himself on this one! BARDS RULE!
Incorrect.
DeleteGO FORTH AND AMPLIFY.
