      Absolutely. After learning about Fulgrim's upbringing on a world without art and culture, the importance to him of creating a society on Chemos where those things exist (and his success in doing so), and his love of art during his time as a true Primarch... it makes his fall even sadder.
      As a lifelong musician who was raised in a family of artists and musical folk, I feel for Fulgrim and those who have fallen to Slaanesh.
      I didn't ever think about this before, but:
      in a universe so dark and cruel, where countless human beings live in hunger and squalor without ever seeing the sun, where their only music is the sound of industry and food is purely a matter of survival,
      the solace of beauty, creativity, and pleasures of the senses sounds irresistible. The simple concept of things most people would never dream of; dreams that will be corrupted the second they take root... Slaanesh could not only corrupt the dreams and ambitions of so many people. In the world of humans in 40k, Slaanesh could take hold of people by simply introducing them to the idea of those dreams and ambitions.
      I recently learned that Trazyn the Infinite has a perfect clone of Fulgrim in his Museum. A clone with his mind and soul before he fell.
      Imagine what could happen were the Imperium to acquire him. Not just what that would do to the tabletop game, but how having a being with his qualities and love of the arts would affect the Imperium. Fulgrim quite literally preferred to rule through love, saw nobility in all humans, saw art in the Forge as much as he saw it in more classical places, taught Konrad Curze - a man spurned by nearly all his brothers - to read, and so much more.

      @RexytheRexy I've lived and worked on farms my entire life, but all I've ever wanted to do is tell stories and make art, so that resonates an insane amount with me.
      I didn't know that about Fulgrim, but I agree, that really is painfully tragic. There's also a lot there about people who have been lost to drugs, alcohol, etc. How the level of what they need keeps getting ever higher, and they ultimately destroy everything and everyone they used to love simply because their need for feeling has resulted in them feeling nothing, without greater and greater highs. And in they end, they're left with nothing, not even an understanding of how they got to where they are, or where they're going. Just emptiness. It's indescribably awful to witness it happening to people
      Edit: I can tell by your use of language you're a musical person, and one who cares deeply for people. I hope you're able to achieve your dreams, without Slaanesh getting involved

    Adeptus Ridiculous had an art contest a few months back (or maybe last year?). They asked the audience to draw an Imperial Knight and make up their own Knight Houses.
    One of the submissions was a Slaanesh corrupted pilot that took the Noise Marine concept to the next level by using his knight as a heavy metal stage complete with lights and lasers.
    One of the artworks of all time if you ask me^^

    8:38 Noise marines from the other chaos gods actually makes a lot of sense. Nurgle often infects with sad corrupting songs and bells are part of his motif, tzeench’s would be casting many spells and speaking in warping tongues, their weapons would release a chorus of whispering blaspheming voices that consume swaths of the battlefield in warp fire and change, and khorn followers are often described are screaming louder than their bolters and deafening those nearby with their bellow and stuff, so his noise marines would just shout out loud barks and yells that manifest as concussive waves of force that smash everything before them.

    That last quote you read, maybe it's just me, but it almost felt like in his final moments, Elian tapped into his humanity one last time. Not for hedonism, or desire or addiction, but for his brothers.
    Yes, he's a monster for slaanesh but something within him was still a man, a man with love, compassion and a desire to help and support. He outwardly was a monster, but internally, in his last moments he found peace in his OWN song.
    And i think maybe thats why the demons almost bid him farewell, maybe they felt sympathy for him and comforted him in death for being a loyal servant and for blessing them with a song of his own. Almost like Hades in the story of Orpheus, who cried when he heard Orpheus play a song about Eurydice, because for the first time in his existence he understood human emotion and love in a way a immortal being could never understand.

    i've said it before but, as someone who knows nothing and has never played ... I love your videos. Seeing 40k though your eyes is a wonderful experience, making something that seems both ominous and daunting (not merely because the story is 'dark' but because there is so much of said story) - bizarrely delightful. maybe you're just that compelling a story teller!
    (Because... while you do explain a lot, I think that the thing that keeps me coming back is the way you tell the story of it all) . Regardless Thank you, and I hope you keep making videos for a long time to come.

    Honestly I have always identified with a lot of parts of the Noise Marine's story. I have struggled with addiction in the past and can empathize with getting addicted to the pursuit of excess and also understand the dulling of sensations that used to excite and the seeking out of "more", even to ones own detriment. I know I am glad to be free of the insanity of addiction and seeking the "perfect" high or rush. I am much better nowadays and have been for a long time but I still have to put work in with keeping myself in check once in awhile. Warhammer lore actually has helped get me throw some really tough times in the past tbh. It's a very deep universe and can be very encompassing. Videos like this have literally helped me get through difficult periods of withdrawal in the past for example. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

    The og noise marines though look absolutely incredible and have it be one of my favourite designs in 40k. I think both should exist but maybe there can be some sort distinction between them.

When there's a guy using his mouth to play broken glass into a synthesiser infront of you, you really can't blame anyone for not liking the sound. But at the same time i was completely captivated for 40 minutes straight, just taken away by what i was hearing.
    It was one of those things where it just either speaks to you or it doesn't. There was no other way to describe it
    Now i'm kind of in the mood to whip up Noise Marines that look a lot closer to Adeptus Mechanicus troops. Really lean into the synth/tech aesthetic

    Awesome video, I think it’s good to point of that the vast majority of Emperors Children aren’t Noise Marines but are “just” chaos space marines. Still horribly mutated, terrifying and deadly but not noise marines
    Most Emperors children view Noise marines with respect, suspicion or caution and they’re often isolated away from the rest of the Warband like in the Fabius Bile trilogy
    Most emperors children are standard Chaos space marines who are mutated and mutilated and obsessed with certain things such as pain, pleasure, drugs, art etc and take it to the extreme. A few named examples of “normal” Emperors Children are Oleander Koh, Flavius Alkenex, Merix, Narvo Quin, Lidonius and Gulos Palatides but the vast majority of the 12th compnay were standard emperors children chaos marines

    Great video Wes. I really liked your bit about perfection, I always found that part of Slaanesh a little bit baffling; in my experience perfectionists tend to lead an almost ascetic lifestyle, which goes against the whole hedonistic excess thing of Slaanesh. But as you say there are also plenty of people who become obsessed with perfection and pursue it relentlessly which in turn leads to their ruin. The Emperor's Children really hammer home that one Voltaire quote "perfect is the enemy of good".

    Nurglite Noise Marines: Specialize in doom metal. Where these sons of the Grandfather begin their dirge, reality itself begins to fall apart from entropy. Those who hear their dread chorus wither and age decades in mere moments until naught but maggots and shriveled corpses remain.
    Khornate Noise Marines: Thrash/death metal. Blood spontaneously rains from the sky when they begin to play, while all within earshot are driven to form a continent-spanning moshpit of unmatched ferocity.
    Tzeentchian Noise Marines: Experimental/prog metal. Able to master tunes with time signatures no mortal mind can comprehend. Their music is so memetically corrosive that all who hear it risk uncontrollable mutation from the forbidden knowledge contained within.

      Weirdly, something very similar to this actually happened in a 40k role-playing game I was part of. We were an inquisition warband and we had captured a Slaanesh cultist called Barry (don't ask.) We discussed how to interrogate him for a bit, and eventually my character came up with the idea of torturing Barry by locking him in a totally featureless grey room and reading a huge Administratum ledger of the last 200 years' tax returns in a monotone voice over the vox speakers.
