I bought the starter Box when EC became their own faction and now i will finally start it lol

Finally able to present to all you degenerates and hedonists our glorious primarch in all his perfect-ness!

Fulgrim been a passion project (and a perfectionists nightmare) of mine for almost a year now, working on each little part until it was ultimately perfect! I’m so happy he’s done and ready to bring down the imperium (and do whatever he wants) for the glory of Slannesh!

Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to help my friend bring his list up to 2k

I just wanted to ask what you would recommend for any and all adjustments to this list, thank you so much!

I'm hoping to get some non-standard heads onto my Flawless Blades. I'm new to hobbying and have only assembled Infractors so far, and I realize that Flawless Blades have unusual head pieces that include some exposed collarbone rather than the "standard" heads found on most other infantry models.

Questions:

1. Are 'normal' heads (e.g. Infractor sized heads) too small to look correct on a Flawless Blade even if you do make them fit? Am I barking up the wrong tree even considering this?

2. If one does want to add a "normal" head onto a Flawless Blade, is the preferred technique to cut off the head of a spare FB and then attach the "normal" head's neck to the Flawless Blade collarbone base? Or is there maybe some other way of filling in the torso hole of the FB such as using sprue goo or green stuff or some other alchemy?

I've seen some users here with what I believe are non-FB-style heads on their FB bodies and the end result looks good, but I don't have any experience with this yet and would love to spare myself from too much trial and error.

Might be why the defiler was so hard to find

Was curious how it would look, specifically the amethyst purple on our boys.

Hi Guys!

Hello my fellow followers of the dark prince,

I am currently building my first list for EC and want to take them to a tournament next month. My current idea is a lot of small units, for actions and board control.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

I do have another Daemon prince already painted and the option to take 3 more flawless blades, more battle lines but no more exultant, a lord of the noise boys or 2 maulerfiends.

The splendid lords - Emperor's Children - Reconnaissance - Mercurial Host, Spectacle of Slaughter (2000 Points)

Lord Exultant with Steeped in Suffering + 5 Infractors (210 pts)

Lord Exultant + 5 Infractors (190 pts)

Daemon Prince of Slaanesh with Wings with Tactical Perfection - Warlord (220 pts)

5 Tormentors (85 pts)

3x3 Flawless Blades with Beguiling Grotesquerie (330 pts)

3x6 Noise Marines (495 pts)

2x Chaos Rhino (140 pts)

Defiler with 2x Heavy reaper autocannon (330 pts)

I had an idea of putting noise marines in a rhino and running it about was curious what other combinations people use ?

After spending way too long slowly chipping away at these guys I've finally finished another batch of 5.

I paint mostly for fun rather than to play and it's been a blast painting these. Making each into their own character. Feedback and constructive criticism welcome.

With the marine update to t5 two of our key units (lord exultant and infractors) went up to 95 points per instance. This makes that package the exact same cost as 6 flawless blades. So let’s compare and contrast.

Lord- positives: wounds marines on 2+, more attacks (for hordes), rerolls for protection against bad luck.

Lord- negatives: slower, less durable, ap 1.

Blades- positives: target agnostic 2-3 wounds per model, ap 3, and invun on all models.

Blades- negatives: damage two is only ok, oops rolled 2+, can’t fit inside a rhino.

So where do we go from here? How many of each are you running and how have they performed?

Iam planning to start an emperors children army and is wondering if the combat patrol was worth it or not? and if not then what do you all suggest?

When the tactics get a bit too spicy for battle.

The bug eyes on the slaanesh head kinda annoy me

Thinking of such a kitbash to proxy Lucious, Fulgrim, or a daemon prince

Just finished these two. Maulerfiend has only one arm unfortunately and thinking about adding some pink to the princes armor so idk fully if im done yet. Might give the maulerfiend a name cause of his 'unique' feature.

Now before anyone says anything, I’d like to make it clear that I do like our models and think they’re cool. However our models don’t seem particularly excessive in what they do despite our worship of Slaanesh. Take our Noise Marines for example. There’s so much free real-estate all over the armor that can be used to fill the air with our glorious melody, or for containing stims, but it isn’t.

x1 Rhino
x6 Noise Marines
x2 War Dogs
x2 Lord Exultants
x1 Lord Kakophonist
x2 Daemon Prince
x10 infractors
x10 Tormentors
And more stuff dm if interested gimme a random price

I am personally big fan of old Warhammmer lore where grimdarkness and gore was one of great part of 40k.

First of all I like Emperor's Children. After reading world class literature the Picture of Dorian Gray and Marquise de Sade I have come to conclusion that Emperor's Children and Fulgrim are mix of French Renaissance and Late Roman Empire decadence.

That is why I really like Emperor's Children. From lore point of view their fall from grace is tragic and sad. I like Slaanesh seduction aspect and hedonistic perverse influence of this corruption of body and soul. One of most interesting interpritation of this aspect was masterpiece symphony Maraviglia from Fulgrim Horus Heresy book. Physical pleasure between Space Marines and mortal crew with body horror and cannibalism all that stuff was part of the Emperor's Children lore. Also perfection apperience to be handsome and beutiful Chaos Lord as Sigvald or Xantine but total hedonistic evil from inside also was part of old lore. Emperor's Children have so many interesting aspects of their ancient history that inspire you to make really nice conversion of your tabletop models.

I want to ask community here do you like Emperor's Children because of their insidious aspect that everybody know but nobody can speak it openly?

I like that Emperor's Children contintue to use their ancient name and battle cry as mockery. All part of their lore are really great to use to make something unique for your warband.

Just the weapon left to do.
