Noise Marines

Noise Marines are Chaos Space Marine foot soldiers totally dedicated to Slaanesh and most commonly found in the Emperor's Children Traitor Legion, but also in other Slaanesh-devoted Chaos Space Marine warbands such as the Flawless Host. Their trademark is the use of devastating sonic weaponry that confuses and demoralizes enemy forces in a wild show of “deafeningly loud, psycho-sonically and pyrotechnically explosive attacks”.

History
The first creation of Noise Marines goes back to the days immediately preceding the Horus Heresy. After the Cleansing of Laeran introduced the corruption of Chaos into the heart of the 28th Expeditionary Fleet of the Great Crusade, the noted Remembrancer Bequa Kynska eventually produced a grand symphony she called the Maraviglia, at whose debut (and only) performance were present several Emperor's Children Space Marines, including their Primarch Fulgrim and Marius Vairosean. This performance, inspired and entwined with Slaanesh-granted powers, not only caused the abrupt daemonic possession of several members of the orchestra, but also spurred on the audience to engage in an orgy of both a sexual and violent nature. During the "performance" it was noted that the musical instruments were able to produce effects variously disorientating, stimulating and downright murderous. Not long afterwards, during the Battle of Istvaan V, some Emperor's Children Space Marines took to the field armed with these sonic weapons, becoming the first Noise Marines. After the Heresy, the early Noise Marines took their deviant behavior to a new level through their dedication to their patron Chaos God and over the years of bloody warfare have honed their bodies to possess such extreme sensory perception where nothing can stir their emotions other than the din of battle and the screams of the dying.



Appearance
Noise Marines wear Power Armour painted in all manner of striking and bold colours. Pinks, blacks and purples are used predominantly in bizarre patterns all over the armour’s legs, arms, gauntlets, helmet and shoulder plates.

Weaponry

 * Sonic Blaster - The Sonic Blaster is a Chaos Space Marine sonic weapon used by the Noise Marines. It produces waves of devastating sound which can rip targets apart. It can be used to produce either a continuous sound or many shorter pulses.
 * Doom Siren - The Doom Siren is a Chaos Space Marine sonic weapon used by Noise Marines. The device is made up primarily of an arrangement of tubes which amplify the war cries of the bearer into a devastating sonic attack which spreads out in front of the charging Chaos Marine.
 * Blastmaster - The Blastmaster is a Chaos Space Marine sonic weapon used by the Noise Marines. It produces a throbbing bass note which is strong enough to burst eyeballs and rupture organs. At different frequencies the weapon can have different effects, either harming individuals with a varying frequency or destroying an entire area with a single pulsing frequency.
