NOISE MARINES
Was just wondering to date, how many noise marine miniature have been released? I would like to have a splinter troop of 6 unique Noise Marines who play the Song of Entrophy that they managed to find before Vulkan. Was also wondering if any of the older Noise Marine weaponry were removable ( I.e. Casted in separate pieces instead of being one lump of pewter.) Many thanks to the kind souls who could help me out on this.

Re: NOISE MARINES
I may be wrong, but...
2 from rogue trader: 1 w/ just a bolter, available in collector's set through GW; one with a combi-guitar/bolter (probably the precursor to the modern weapons)
2-3 from 2nd edition w/ the heavier weapons
1 from 2nd w/ doom siren + power claw IIRC
1 boxed set from 3.5 (still available, technically 8 marines, but about enough parts to realistically make 1 of each heavier weapon, plus 1 with bp/CCW/power weapon + doom siren (extra bits for 3 arm sets, 3 heads, 1 torso, 1 backpack))
1 lord w/ doom siren from 3.5 (don't know if they still make him)
Lucius from 4th or 5th
The boxed sets' weapons are available through special order w/ GW, IIRC everything but the RT minis have separate weapons if not weapons + arms.

Re: NOISE MARINES
Wow. So that means if I actually get the money, it'll be possible to have 6 Noise Marines armed with different variations of sonic weaponry. Thanks! ^^

Re: NOISE MARINES
Yup, though, I really think that the only one that fits with the current style is the RT one with a bolter.
Personally, I'd go with the weapons set from GW direct and do some work to make those look distinct, as the old ones are pretty spikey compared to the newer ones (and frankly not that good, though the combi guitar is a lot of fun)

Re: NOISE MARINES
If I ever get around to making the squad, I'll probably try to get my hands on 5 of the Champion's backpack from the current box and then use the lord's Doom Siren backpack for the actual champion. For the heads, I think I'll sculpt something like Steve Whitehead's noise marines. Iron Warrior heads are cool too. Just cut off those unsightly horns and they'll look great as any marine.
