I probably come across as a bit of an ***, don't worry I just cannot abide stupid.
An additional thought hit me regarding aggressive Noise Marine load outs which I will be testing. Rather than using the expensive Cypher Formation, I could just take Cypher. If Huron or Ahriman is my Warlord, I can ensure the unit of nine Noise Marines (per earlier post) is able to Outflank and I can just purchase Cypher alone without the Formation. This cuts prices a good deal and throws a nice perk into those Noise Marines coming in hot. They will gain the benefit of being Shrouded and having Hit & Run. For that matter, Cypher in a big nasty gun line of Noise Marines (say the 20 Strong firebase) is awesome because if your opponent actually reaches them to silence the guns, you just run after surviving combat (which you will do with that high number) and fall back during your opponent's turn and get to fire all over again as if you didn't move on your own turn. Hrm. Tasty in theoryhammer. I'll put it to the test soon.
*Hrm. And if I get a combined arms detachment in the army from Crimson Slaughter with some Divination per their Wargear, those Noise Marines have a damn good likelyhood of overwatching at full Ballistic Skill, as Cypher already does.

We discussed this last night. Shes narrowed it down to either starting with a couple of boxes of csm's and the noise marine upgrades, a hellbrute, a couple of bike squads and some spawn or possessed or dark vengeance and using the da's as fallen and getting Cypher to go with them.
Sounds good. If you want noise marines. Have a look at the FW kacophani. Much nicer models in my opinion

Another thing to consider is custom Sonic Weaponry rather than buying the bits. It is quite easy to make very cool looking Sonic Blasters. The best versions I've seen involved those vicious little animal heads (often vehicle bits I believe) attached to guns. The larger ones, of course, were used for the Blast Masters. Doom Sirens merely require some kind of elevated attachment to your backpack with a nasty face or even the Dirge Caster bit with a cunning setting. I do own Noise Marines with the official sonic blasters but in all honesty they were more trouble than they were worth. If I had it to do over again, I would do the custom jobs in a heartbeat.
Man, I saw your other post and as you said then, it was meant for higher point matches. I could see the Noise Marine/Cypher mix working in an 1850 list easy. I'll probably try that out myself this weekend and see how it goes.
I suggest against the possessed only bc unless they come with the battleforce, they're expensive monetarily and in-game while not being all that great.
So if she decides to go with 2 10 man noise marine squads, 2 rhinos, 2 helbrutes, a 5 man bike squad and some spawn, who should the HQ choice be?
