I've made my army choice and purchased the first pieces! To those about to rock: we salute you! #EmperorsChildren40k #Nerdlings

Decided to make a hobby goal for 2026. Since I've gotten comfortable with painting miniatures, I think it's time to start a larger project: a full 2000 point Warhammer 40k army. For now I'm considering my options. Let me know what you think I should pick or what your first army was. #Nerdlings

I'm just going to keep this thread rolling, as I make decisions and take steps toward a full army. My reasoning for picking the #EmperorsChildren40k is that I really love the Noise Marines, so I'd like to play as many of them as possible. This, though, is my first hurdle: Detachment #Nerdlings

I've looked through the detachments and most of them skew heavily to the melee side of the army, which does make sense for the EC. So how do I get more rock and/or roll in my life? The answer is the Rapid Evisceration detachment. The plan is to cram these clowns in a transport and go to town.

I'm calling it Rock'n'Roll Clown Car. The full list is still under construction (as I teach myself how to actually build one) but the core of the army is transports full of Noise Marines and some others. Is it on-meta? Nope. Is it funny? I think so and that's what's important.

So, since I'm still learning, what do you think I need in a list like this? Who should lead? Must haves: 3 squads of Noise Marines 2-3 Lord Kakophonists 1-2 C Rhinos 1-2 C Land Raiders Other options: Flawless Blades C Terminators King Clown (Fulgrim) That Other Clown (Lucius) Demon Prince (wings?)

Got a deal on the models from the Champions of Slaanesh box. This stack of plastic clocks in around 700pts, currently. A big first step toward 2000pts I'll start building this weekend, but I need to make a stop at my LGS to grab supplies before I start painting. #Nerdlings #EmperorsChildren40k

Had a productive weekend while avoiding the snow. Got a Lord Exultant, 2 squads of 5 Infractors, and 2 squads of 5 Tormentors built. I think I only need one squad of Tormentors, but it can't hurt to have a second. Next stop, Noise Marines and basing! #Nerdlings

Ok, #Nerdlings! I've made a list I'm calling Rock'n'Roll Clown Car. It's in the Rapid Evisceration detachment. 1x Daemon Prince w/ Wings 3x Lord Kakophonist 3x Lord Exultant 2x 5 Infractors 1x 5 Tormentors 3x Noise Marines 1x 6 Flawless Blades 2x Chaos Rhino 1x Chaos Land Raider

I'm taking Sublime Prescience on one Kako, and Spearhead Striker on another. That second Kako is taking a squad of Noise Marines into Strategic Reserves in the Land Raider for backfield shenanigans. The plan is move fast, hit hard. So, tell me what you think of the list. What can I improve?

Made some progress over the weekend. All my Infractors and Tormentors are primed, and I took one squad of Tormentors to an almost finished state. There's still some small things that need doing, but you can see where we're headed. #Nerdlings #EmperorsChildren40k
