The Chaos Space Marines Noise Marine Datasheet is your gateway to fielding squads of sonic weapon-wielding warriors dedicated to Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess and pleasure. These hedonistic heretics bring a cacophony of destruction to the battlefield, trading martial skill for ear-splitting sonic weaponry. Understanding their datasheet is critical for any Chaos Space Marine player looking to add some sonic firepower to their army.
Decoding the Noise Marine Datasheet
The Chaos Space Marines Noise Marine Datasheet is essentially a stat sheet providing all the vital information about a unit of Noise Marines. This includes key characteristics like Movement (how far they can move), Weapon Skill (how good they are at hitting in melee), Ballistic Skill (how good they are at shooting), Strength (how strong they are), Toughness (how resistant they are to damage), Wounds (how much damage they can take before being removed), Attacks (how many attacks they make in melee), Leadership (how likely they are to stay in the fight), and Save (how good their armor is). These stats dictate how well the unit performs in various combat situations, making understanding them paramount to effectively utilizing Noise Marines. Below is a table example of some possible stats.
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Movement | 6" |
| Weapon Skill | 3+ |
| Ballistic Skill | 3+ |
Beyond the basic stats, the datasheet outlines the unit’s wargear options and special abilities. Noise Marines typically come equipped with sonic blasters, which offer unique advantages over standard bolters. These advantages could include things like higher Strength, Assault weapon type, or special rules that affect enemy morale. The datasheet will also specify any upgrades the unit can take, such as Blastmasters for even more potent sonic firepower or icons of excess. Some standard abilities usually include:
- Fearsome Noises: Modifies enemy morale.
- Slaanesh keyword: Grants synergy with other Slaanesh-aligned units and stratagems.
Understanding these abilities and wargear options is essential for maximizing the unit’s effectiveness on the battlefield.
Finally, the datasheet dictates the unit’s size and points cost. You’ll need to know how many models are in a unit and how much each unit costs in points to build a legal and effective army list. The Noise Marine datasheet may also contain special rules or restrictions related to their deployment or use in certain detachments. Pay close attention to these details to avoid making any tactical errors during the game. Noise Marines are often included in specific detachments that may have additional rules, such as:
- Emperor’s Children Detachment.
- Slaanesh-aligned Detachment.
Understanding the points cost is also critical for list-building and maintaining a balanced force.
