i think anything eddie does only satisfy the noise marines his lusts and desires.

unless CSM are wussies who cant handle some metal.

I played through a part of Brutal Legend, and if Riggs doesn’t power WAY up in very short time in the later parts, he’ll get squished.

The Demon allows Eddie to fly, and also allows his ‘fans’ to resurrect him.

I’ll give it a shot.

Given that, by the end of the game Eddie Riggs is a full fledged Rocking Demon prince, who can take a hell of a lot of punishment and, as people have said before, melt faces with the power of his rock. Not to mention heavy metal heals him, he can fly rather fast and can cause bolts of lighting to fall from the sky just by plucking a single chord.

I’m struggling to see why people are so adamant that the Noise marine can win.

Well, thats something. Still, I do believe that melting the NMs face will be hard considering how soundproof they are. And isn’t the Blastmaster a weapon utilized by the NM? The thing can make eyeballs pop and heads explode, so it’s not like he lacks firepower. And since his sound ain’t rock/metal but more of a pig scream combined with disco music, elektronika and DJ scratching, it will probably have effect. The NM still stands a chance, and a good one at that.

“Still, I do believe that melting the NMs face will be hard considering how soundproof they are”

Except I always thought that far from being soundproof, they relished every discordant squeal of music. Slanneshi worshippers are all about getting the very very extremes of sensation, and the idea that one of them would purposefully lessen one of his senses is completely against the very point of being a slanneshi marine.

If anything they’d make it so there were more susceptible to noise. Being Marines, and Chaos marines at that, means they are far more durable than anything other than necrons, and being slannesho means they spend their whole lives at the very edges of their limitations. A body can get used to something after a while, or desensitised, which is why Slanneshi guys go to the lengths they do.

I think Eddie Riggs face-melting solo’s are just the thing to use on a “normal” noise marine. Using it on a Chaos Lord, or anoitned, or god forbid a possessed guy would be like fighting the orks by giving them a noisier gun. But a bog standard guy?

The Noise marine is toast, unless I’m wrong about the soundproofing, in which case its the worst damn idea GW have had. ever.

“that Slaanesh piece of crap.”

I don’t like your TONE there sweetie…

@Kenny C.

You disappoint me sweetie, you’re limiting your “PHYSICAL PROWESS” by submitting yourself to warmongering & bloodbath.

Why not sip from the NECTAR OF BLISS & PLEASURE? Isn’t it more euphemistic to hold the tenderness of the FLESH than wielding a rusty crude warhammer?

As the old saying goes Make Love not War… Hell do both! I know I do

all plots,schemes,ideas and plans will in the end benefit tzeentch, since only he see’s the whole picture, khorne can only see where his next set of skulls will come from.

*all plots,schemes,ideas and plans will in the end benefit tzeentch, since only he see’s the whole picture, khorne can only see where his next set of skulls will come from.*

works for me.after all thinking to much about the future makes you loose focus on the present.that and it makes my head hurt. the present now is ripping a chainaxe trough that weakling loyaltist! its fun it works and it makes me live longer since im the last man standing meaning i can pass on to the future….which will be another chainaxe ripping!

tzeentch schemes doesn’t matter.after all if tzeentch schemes means khorne gets more skulls then i dont mind at all actully.

ok…now what happens to Eddie?

whos a better chaos god should be for a different post.

I think people underestimate the power of the noise marines. I’ve played all the way through Brutal Legend, and as much as I love the awesomeness that is Eddie, i don’t think he can win.

“Bizarrely clad warriors clad in Mark IV plate draped in stretched skin cavorted in the midst of the deadliest combats, fighting without helmets, their jaws wired open as they unleashed a hideous screaming. They bore unknown weaponry and fired echoing blasts of atonal harmonics that ripped bloody canyons in the massed ranks of the Iron Hands. Great pipes and loudspeakers fixed to their armor amplified the screaming vibrations of their killing music, and deafening sound waves tore apart warriors and armored vehicles.”
-Fulgrim, page 465-466

These are noise marines in their very first engagement ripping apart space marines and vehicles alike. One hit and even the awesome Eddie Riggs would practically be liquefied. His flight wouldn’t help him much because to attack he has to stop moving, and even then he can only use his basic lightning attack. Also, his best abilities are solos that would have to be played at quite close range. If he stops for even a split second he will be sonically ripped to pieces, let alone the several seconds it would take to play a solo.

“Can Roadies be hurt by sound?”

Ophelia’s and Deviculus’s music attacks hurt him just fine.

“But i believe that the axe of a demonic lord and when wielded by a metal thrashing madman (anthrax ftw) tainted with demonic blood, it could cut a noise marine like butter.”

Considering it takes multiple hits to bring down one of those frail looking druids or gravediggers?

Noise Marine, Eddie’s solos and such would be more liekly to make the Noise Marine spontaneously orgasm than to actually damage him. They seek out just such extremes of sound on purpose.

Imho, the Noise Marine is like the paper to Eddie’s rock.
