  • You Won't Believe How EASY it is to Build a Lore Accurate Emperor's Children Army
    Sep 9 2025

    “Perfection is the only path. Noise is the only weapon.”

    Ready to build a truly lore-accurate Emperor’s Children army for Warhammer 40K? In this video, we’ll walk through how to assemble a force worthy of Slaanesh’s twisted blessing—from Lucius the Eternal to Noise Marines, ornate Chosen, and daemon-touched elites.

    🎨 We cover:

    • 00:47 Core units that define the III Legion’s style and tactics

    • 04:29 The build list for the Cohors Nasicae

    • 08:14 Cost of building and sourcing this list

    • 11:22 Painting and modeling tips to make your army truly decadent

    • 17:33 How they play: speed, spectacle, and sonic destruction

    Whether you’re a lore purist or just love flamboyant Chaos armies, this guide will help you build a force that looks like it stepped out of a Black Library novel and into your next battle.
