At my Local Games Workshop, there is a battle challenge going on. In two weeks, we'll need 750pts and a background for our army completely done. After that 250pts every two weeks. Until we are at 1700pts and there is tournament and much fun.
So, I decided to start a new army for it (as I have come across a few hundred dollars recently). Necrons are the choice I made, and I will attempt to record all my progress during the battle challenge.
I have begun to paint them, but I have no pictures of that..yet. Just some WIP of the building and stuff. I have a tenuous idea for my initial army.
Destroyer Lord
two 10 man warrior squads
four destroyers
~750pts
So far, I have purchased the battle force and thus have all I need, minus the lord, and destroyer I will pick up this coming week. As for painting, if anyone has seen my Grey Knights, I don't like using conventional colour schemes. I am going to paint my 'Crons Yellow and Purple.
Some teasers until I get other pictures taken. I made the mistake of gluing their arms on, before painting. Ooops, it's making painting a bit more difficult. Also, I am sure I should not have yet glued on the end of the gun. Hmm, well this is a learning experience.

Alright, some pictures of the painting WIP

So far, the models are primed black, dry brushed liche purple, then warlock purple. Heads and torsos have been painting Lyanden darksun. I'm working on now going over that previous layer with Golden yellow. Then I am going to use a wash of some sort.

I really like the Scarabs, and the Warriors aren't half bad either. I'm assuming you aren't finished with the gauss rifles since I still see black primer just before where the energy sticks are supposed to go.
In the end I still say they should have been metallic. ;)
-
I have to this is looking to be an interesting log. So i'll be fallowing it from time to time.
The color scheme is something i like and it will set your army apart from the rest of them, in a good way.
A couple of questions:
Whats the multi tool you have there in the first pic been looking for a new one myself.
Where you come up with the color scheme i find myself pondering on some similar.
Could we get a close up of a scarab unit?

The models are no where near done yet, so don't worry. No metallic though, I feel thats been beat to death with these suckers.

A couple of questions:
Thank you, and shoot.
Whats the multi tool you have there in the first pic been looking for a new one myself.
That is my leatherman charge ALX (http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/full-size-tools/charge-alx.aspx). I love it to bits, hardly go anywhere without it snuggly attached to my belt.
Where you come up with the color scheme i find myself pondering on some similar.
Well, I like to use Complimentary colours in my army. My daemon hunters a good example of this. I was looking at the example colour scheme in the Necron Codex, and one of them was a yellow torso and blue body. Not too hard to switch the blue for purple.
Could we get a close up of a scarab unit?
Yes!
These pictures are after I painted the first yellow (golden yellow) over the foundation paint.

Yikes, too much yellow on the face! You had hit the perfect balance before you had it, now it just looks like a big yellow mass. Bring back the teeth slits.

Yes, I know. The golden yellow, very wet. Went everywhere. Fortunately, I had planned to wash the yellow areas with Gryphonne Sepia, which turned out quite nice. Might do one more wash and then work on highlighting the yellow. Then I'll I need to do is highlight the purple, paint the gun, do details, the base, then glue in the plastic rod.

I must say this scheme for the Necs is a nice change from the norm. Good work.
-
Dang you squid u made me fall in love with the tool too. I mean it was one of the better ones i've seen around as my old one meet an unfortunate end at the bottom of the river.
But what really sold me on it was the bottle opener for reason. ::)

I've used m bottle opener more than a few times. Love my Charge so very much. Best multi-tool I've had yet.
Um, so the Crons. Finished the Yellow, pretty much. Now all I need to do is the rest of the model :P.

Easter Necrons! (Hehe, sorry)
Definitely looking good so far, Squid. Will you be staying just on the Warriors and Scarabs, or are there other Necron units lurking on the horizon? The Destroyers, or the Lord? (Given your noteworthy habit of conversion work, I'm assuming the Lord will be last).
-
I have a another unit of warriors and a unit of destroyers primed and good-to-go, but I am going to work on them in smaller bite-sized chunks. I am glad you like them. I need 750 points built and painted for the first of October for the battle Challenge I am in.
Also, I have gotten more progress today.
The yellow and purple on the first two units is DONE. Also, the details on the models (gold chest plates and green eyes) Also done. Now All that is left is finishing the guns and the bases.
Then I get to do it all over again!

Looking good, but the rear shell of the destroyers seems a little too clean and yellow. may want to try some purple necron runes on that part.

Thank you. About the destroyers, it's the first basecoat...No where near yet done. As I said....
started the Destroyers
-
Are you planning on adding decals? Since the back of the destroyers could use something to break up the Yellow, nothing cluttered of course, just feels like there should be something else there.
-
I've always wanted to join a challenge of this sort, but I just can't seem to find the drive to do so much so quickly. :P You, however, have done stupendously! I really like your work here. I take it placing the plastice rods in after gluing the front piece on didn't prove too much a challenge, eh?
My only complaint is that your Necrons are painted Vi-queens colors. Thinks about blue and orange for your elites! (I kid, the colors are awesome on your force)
-
I do plan on adding details to the destroyers. I only got two transfer sheets, so it'll be freehand. Could work well as squad markings. The yellow still needs another yellow a wash and a highlight, so I'll worry about that later.
About the colour, I am digging it. I've painted too many models orange and blue, so I'm going to try and avoid those colours :) .
The challange is fun, a bit stessfull though!
-
semi off topic but was that pic of the anubis in toronto? it sure looks like it lol.
-
Yep, sure is the Toronto Anubis. It's right next to my school. This was taken the day after he was set up.
-
what gw you play at?
-
I game at the Toronto Battle Bunker.
Also, I converted a Necron Lord from a warrior, as I have not gotten a destroyer lord in time. So, four destroyers and a lord is all I have left to paint. I'll take a picture of the lord when I get back from work later tonight.
-
Nice job Killersquid, the scheme very original, although I must agree with a previous poster, I think if you had used metallic purple it would have looked better, obviously only in my opinion though.
Have you considered looking for a different coloured rods to place in your guns? I think a yellow rod would look great with your Warriors.
Good stuff.

I donno, I really like the look of Matte rather then shiny. Metalic doesn't really do a whole lot for me, personally.
Also, there are different coloured Gauss rods? I had no idea, never seen anything about them before. I could see how yellow, would be really spiffy. Not sure if I can take the Rods out, not that I glued in 20 so far.
I think if you had used metallic purple it would have looked better
BAM! ;)
No Bam! I take it placing the plastice rods in after gluing the front piece on didn't prove too much a challenge, eh?
Actually, didn't really become too much of a worry. I can bend the guns slightly and slip the rod in. A couple of timed I broke the end of the gun off, but nothing some plastic glue seamlessly fixed.
Finished the first yellow after the foundation paint on the Lord and Destroyers. Lord will get a golden make over I think, to make him stand out more. Destroyers need a sepia wash, then a final highlight on yellow, then purple highlight, then guns and details.
I was thinking, of making the army a Destroyer Armada-type army. Just a whole slew of Destoyers and heavy destroyers. Never had a terribly mobile army like that before, I think it'd be fun. Does it seem like a competitive force? I am thinking of my next 250pts getting four Heavy Destroyers and upgrading the lord to a destroyer lord (now that I have had to make one on foot).
Might be a bit more expensive of a force though. Thinking of just dropping the lord entirely and adding a C'tan instead!
Warrior-Lord (Temporary, until I get my hands on a destoryer lord. Made it in a few minutes with greenstuff, warrior bitz and an ogre bulls sword.)

Thanks! Also, if your in town for a game, let me know. I am normally at the GW store every Thursday. Normally around 4pm-9pm (Store closes at 9). Games are 1500pts for pick-up games.
Working on finishing up the last of the army. Destroyers are getting the purple highlighting and after that it's just gun and details. I didn't like the clear bases, so I added sand to the base and am priming them black as I speak.
Tomorrow I take the Fledgling Necron force out for their first battles. I know that one of the guys I am going agaisnt is taking some Nob Bikers in his 750pts, along with a whole amphetamine parrot load of buggies, kans and dreads :P. Blaaaaaaarrrrrrgggg gggg!!! Also, I cannot wait to buy a Destroyer lord.

Well, Besides doing a half-assed job on my temp lord. The army is done. Well, the first 750pts. Two weeks from tomorrow, I'll need to add another 250pts to the army. I already know what I am going to get as well. After that, it'd be easy. 1250pts+ I am going to get nothing but 5 destroyers for each update (250 even :)), until I have all 15 I can get my grubby hands on ;D.
PRE-Post edit: Forgot to paint the Destroyers Tummies gold! Will do that later! :-X

I'd really like to see the writing on the backs of your destroyers. If that was free hand you are quite good. Good luck with your tournament. Toronto time to BC time is a few hours, so it's probably something like 10am there. Go go Necrons!
Edit: Is it just me or does the front most Destroyer in the first picture look like his gun barrell is slight... slanty?

The Symbols on the Destoryers are decal transfers that I applied. I don't really have that steady of a hand, for such small details as that lol.
I played three games today, at our first battle challenge meet.
In the first game, my opponent had the following army.
Big Mek W/ KFF and burna
10 grotz
deff dread
two killa kans
three missile warbuggies
three nob bikers with painboy
The game started okay, Destroyers killed all his buggies on the first turn. The scarabs prevented the nob bikers from charging warriors right away, and when they did, they lost to my warriors in combat and ran away. However, I could not deal with the walkers quick enough and then the nobs regrouped and I was Wiped out. I am pretty sure, that I failed all my morale tests in the game :P.
Second game,was agaisnt Space Wolves.
Iron priest on bike with thunderhammer
Wolf Priest
Wolf Guard battle leader in terminator armour, with thunder hammer
Squad of Grey Hunters
Squad of Blood claws
The game started off pretty good, Destroyers and warriors decimated his blood claws squad, and I was able to kill the reminants in combat when they charged me. However, his Wolf Guard battle leader charged the squad my lord was in, won combat and ran my squad down when I failed my morale test. After that, he killed my second warrior squad and I phased out.
Third game, was against marines.
Captain with Artificer and Relic blade
Two 5 man marine squads in Rhinos
five landspeeders with flamer and multi-melta
I had pretty poor luck this game, dealing with his vehicles. His Captain got into combat in about turn three, and single handedly killed mt lord and both warrior squads in a couple of turns, forcing me to phase out.
So in shooting, I normally did really well, but the game went terribly for me once I got into combat, and I was never really able to prevent it from happening. I was always cornered into it. Thus, the next addition to my army I think will help me in combat.

Might be a bit of an overkill for 1000pts, but hell I lost terribly three times already, I really have not much to loose. :)
-
That's unfortunate to hear, but your solution could greatly help. Was the Lord just run stock? The teleporting abilty (Phase Shifter?) could have helped you there, but judging from your bad morale luck, maybe not. Five Landspeeders is a bit much, but I guess everyone was optimizing it seems.
Why not try and squeeze a squad of Immortals into the list? I'm sure they could really help against oncoming assaulters. And I believe they count towards Phase Out as well. What was the average performance of your Scarab Swarms? That upgrade you could give them could really help you against transports or tanks in general.

I didn't have the points to add the veil, but it could have been helpful. I do want a destroyer lord in the end, so I don't think that I'll be able to fit in a veil in the final army anyway. The lord had a res-orb and warscyth and actually did pretty well for himself. Had some blotched rolls here and there, but was a wonderful support model for the warriors.

I was considering going Destroyer heavy, and leave it at that, but I feel that some immortals now would be a very good idea. I'll add some in at a later time.

I only used three as a points filler. They accomplished absolutely nothing. Though, they helped helped prevent a turn 2 charge on my warriors by Nob Bikers :P. I am not sure if I will actually add a serious unit of them. I'll need to see.
For my full 1750pts final army, I want at least the following in it.
Deceiver
Destroyer Lord
Twenty Warriors
Two four man destroyer units
Two, two man squads of Heavy Destroyers.
This is models I have/ordered so need to be in it. Everything else it up for debate, depending on how things go.
-
Well if you're interested in cheap Immortals, I would suggest dropping a line to/checking out Mac065's Necron conversions. I believe he made immortals out of the regular Warrior kits, with just a little bulking up. a Cheap way to get them in there.
I would definately agree with your army selection so far. I really like destroyers. Will add on to this post at a later time though, I must run.

I might just check out that article. Alternativly, I was thinking that Paraiahs may invergrate better into the army with the Deciever. But, they don't have WBB and are generally really expensive. But, warscythes with guns on them are cool. I'll need to ponder that.
Oh, I have also decided, that my army will not be lead by the Deceiver. It'll be lead by Nyarlathotep (counts as Deceiver).
Working on a conversion, basically tentacleing him up a bit.

Loosly based on this image, with more of a 'man-like' body. Nyarlathotep, has many forms, this'll just be one. Almost seems like him and the Deceiver are almost one and the same...Plot thickens. My first really big GS sculpting thing I've done. Pretty happy with it so far.
-
You may be the first person I've seen who has decided to reflect the Lovecraftianness of the Necron background in model form. It's looking suitably creepy so far.
As the the tourney...tought luck there, but then Necrons are always going to struggle against dedicated assaulters, so really, taking a C'tan is nothing to feel guilty about. As to the projected list, the infamous Decepticon list (as I've heard other people call it) sounds quite solid: nothing but combat denial and lots of mobile firepower. I'm sure the Deciever's "haha, you didn't really charge me" ability should be useful for keeping your stuff out of combat a bit longer.
IA! IA! CTHULU F'THAGN!

There is not enough lovecraft in warhammer 40k. I figure that Phase out number is not really terribly important to pay attention too. If I am ending up reaching it, I have lost anyway. I have begun painting Nyarlathotep. Going to paint his skin pale. I want him to contrast with the rest of the army, but leave the robes painted similar to the rest of the army perhaps.

Done a bit more work on the Deceiver. Skins been highlighted from black->white Via successive highlights. Robe has been basecoasted with Darksun, and washed sepia. Head is going to be reddy-purple eventually. Tentacles I am unsure of yet.

I Was showing the guy who plays the Orks my Deciever model, and linked him here (as the pictures are here). He found your comment humorous. But yes, I am hoping that some orks can get crunched by this guy.
I quote, from MSN.
"Do like, that should sort out those cheesy, cheesy Orks." LOL!
Also, Nom nom nom.
Finished Robe, Finished Skin. Head and Suckers need to be worked on, then the base. Huzzah, almost done.

Not too much skill required, just patience. I am confident you can do equally, or even better work. Not very happy of the paint job on the parts I 'sculpted' Seems that my conversion work, will not be the same as the smoothness of GW sculpts. Alas.

Killersquid, I give you a list! You have your 2 troops camping the objective and one foot slogging forward if needed. The Deciever would be we used hanging back here being a gun magnet, protecting your troops with his scarab minions. Your destroyer units will go around the side with the lord who can tank hunt easily with 5 Strength + 2D6 Pen. on rear armour. They will destroy threats like devastators and troops while you Warriors lay down the guass. The deciever can redirect units to better shooting position or out of assualt range and he can come up to play in mid game. Keep your warriors out of combat at all costs. We suck horribly...
From a necron player, good luck
Burgers

I like this list! Exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of. I will use it, thank you! All I need to purchase is two more heavy Destroyers and another box of warriors. I still need to wait for a destroyer lord, two heavy destroyers and four destroyers to arrive in zee mail :/
Necrons 1000pts
Nyarlathotep(Deceiver)- 300pts
Warriors x10-180pts
Warriors x10-180pts
Scarbs x 7 Disruption Fields-112pts
Destroyers x4-200pts[/size]
I had 140pts left, I could use either a lord with just orb, or all my scarbs with D-Fields. I thought the latter would be a better choice. Nom Nom Nom, tanks.

So, three bitz of news on how things are going.
1. 1000pt update is next week, and I am already ahead of the game! Hurrah!
2. Something came in the mail for me, waiting at GW.

3. There is a doubles turni on Saturday, which is conveniently 1000pts per player. I might just enter it.
So, I have a lot more work ahead of me now. Finally will be able to loose the freakin' scarabs.
I played a few games today, to try out the new God.
Game 1 vs marines.
Sicarious
two ten man marine squads
one terminator squad with bolters
one terminator squad with thunderhammers and lighting claws.
My list, was the one in the previous post.
The beginning of the game went well for me. It was multiple objectives with spearhead deployment, so I kept shifting my warriors North in order to capture one objective, and contest one near him soon. On my right flank, I had my scarabs getting ready to pester one of his marine units, while the destroyers just kinda flew around. Deceiver stuck with the warriors, as I knew that terminators will mess me up. The beginning of the game saw my destroyers consistently take multiple wounds from one of his units, while one of his terminator squads deepstrike next to my warrior phalanx, and the other next too the destroyers. The one near the warriors was nom'd by my god, while the destroyers flew away. The game pretty much ended with the Deceiver hopping from squad to squad systematically devouring his entire army.
Mission ended with me controlling one objective, and another one contested by one marine.
Second game was agaisnt orks, battle challenge dude with all the walkers. His list added in more Kans and some more grotz. Went pretty well in the beginning, with the Scarabs holding up the bikers long enough for my Deceiver to Nom them, but I was consistently unable to roll higher then a 2 on any damage table, which made it very hard for me to gain kill points. I lost all my Destroyers to grot blastas, and a squad of warriors ran away from his deffdread off the table and that sealed my defeat.
Third game, was also agaisnt orks. One big squad of shootas in a battle wagon. One massive Nob squad (all with different equipment) in a truckk with a warboss and 17 deepostriking storm boyz with that special character (zogstrok?).
I lost my Destroyers on turn two, from 40 shoota shots, while the scarabs blew up the battlewagon, and were then maimed by the shootas. The deceiver and his misdirect had me doing pretty well agaisnt the nobs, but the stormboyz deepstruck right in front of one warrior squad and wiped them out in one turn, and then my other squad in the next. I had no way of protecting my last warriors squad from two terrible close combat units.
Then me and the second ork player each teamed up against 2000pts of witchhunters. Needless to say, we did quite well agaisnt him, but the Ork+Necron line up was not the most balanced. The ork player did all the real killing though, his truck blew up and then karreeemed right into the witchhunters deployment zone, while the stormboyz deepstruck on the other end of the table. Together, they maimed a good portion of his army. Meanwhile, my force didn't really do a whole lot, as all the most jucy targets were all engaged by the orks. Granted, I only lost my scarabs and one destroyer over the entire game, which I was pretty proud of. At one point, a sister superior with eviserator was duelling agaisnt both the warboss and Deceiver at once. I then misdirected outta there, while the warboss and Sister killed each other with their final blows.
Anyway, I am off to bed, then off to build some Destroyers.

Killersquid, you know see the greatest problem with a C'tan (or awesome tentacle thingy :D). They cost ALOT!
I know that is obvious, but 90% of players forget than when they have a C'tan, that 6-15 necrons it takes up. A C'tan and a Lith will both disappear as soon as those silly 20 warriors die. That is my my list had scarabs. They are super speed bump that you can put in charge range to protect the Warriors, as the enemy cannot move within 1" without charging. Then deciever can come Nom Nom Nom and the battle field can block more attackers, making them run around. The deciever must spend at least the start of the battle baby sitting. Remember Killersquid, you should be thinking, "What do I ave most too fear?"
A: Heavy weapons and CC. Stop those and victory is easy. Necrons are not the most forgiving army to play, but they sure do stick around for ages :D

Yell me about it! The main reason I added the C'tan, was because the store had no other models in stock (besides warriors and battleforces). And since I needed something for the battle challenge, the C'tan was the best bet. I did find that at 1000pts he was extremely excessive, But I did get him for babysitting pretty much, as I was not worried about getting shot at, only being charged. So If I could massacre any assault units that came near me (with scarab wall, then C'tan counter charge) I would be in a really good place.
Didn't totally work that way, but okay. Now that I have a whole amphetamine parrot load of destroyers, I may swap the god out with them, if I can get them all built and painted in time for the battle challenge update next week.
He never did die once though! Thats pretty good! I just need my Destroyer armada to continue growing. Muah ha ha ha ha!
Anyway, from the beginning to where I am now.

Not sure I am going to go about shoving the green rods into the heavy destroyers guns. Seems like it'll be very awkward.
Been painting and building these guys all day. Going to make dinner now and watch transformers 2.

Right-O- Destroyer armada is taking shape. In celebration of building/painting four destroyers, two heavy destroyers and a destroyer lord yesterday, I entered a Double 40k Turni today at the local bunker yesterday.
My 1000pt army I used.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv472%2Fkillersquid%2Fwarhammer%2FNecrons%2FIMG_2580.jpg&hash=2dcf2d35f4497737fbf4709588dc671f16cfb84b) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/killersquid/warhammer/Necrons/IMG_2580.jpg)
All my necrons so far.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv472%2Fkillersquid%2Fwarhammer%2FNecrons%2FIMG_2578.jpg&hash=88f0e42748b576f78e30ccd4893267444fc6d1b9) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/killersquid/warhammer/Necrons/IMG_2578.jpg)
Now I'll explain how the turni went.
So, each team is 2000pts. Made by both players 1000pt army. There are primary and Secondary Objectives. For the purposes of the Turni, the 'Phase out' Rule is waived.
Our team (me and one other dude) was the "Voyageurs"
Necron Lord w/res orb, solar pulse, destroyer body, warscythe
Two 10 man warrior units
two 3 man destroyer units
one two man heavy destroyer unit.
Hive Tyrant w/wings, devourers, scything talons...Other upgrades too perhaps, not sure.
Warriors, two units of three, with two deathspitters and one venom cannon in each.
two units of scuttling, tendriled, carapaced genestealers
Zoanthrope with warp blast and catalyst
Carnifex with barbed strangler and crushing claws.
Game 1, was against an opponent who was disqualified. Thus, I will not go into details about the game. We got full comp points.
The mission was dawn of war with multiple objectives as primary objective.
Secondary objective, was that a troops unit of our nomination (one of my warrior units) needed to get within 12" of any objective.
Game 2:
Pitched Battle, Annihilation as primary objective. Secondary objective, was that the unit nominated in the last game must survive to the end of the game.
Our opponents were team "Deceiver"
Deciever
Two 12 man warrior units
one unit of 5 destroyers
Ultramarines
Chaplin in terminator armour
Combat terminators with one thunder hammer, and the rest lighting claws.
Two 10 man marine units. One with plas/heavy bolter, other with missile/melta
Predator (Weapons unknown)
IronClad Dread
So, The Voyageurs got first turn. We had the tyranids on the left flank (my teammate outflanked his 'stealers). I kept both warrior squads in reserve, and deployed my destroyers all within 6" of the lord near the center of the right half of the table. The Necron player deployed opposite the 'nids, with the marine player opposite me. Terminators Deepstriking.
There was a piece of woods in between the nids and necrons, craters between the two sides in the middle of the table, a house near the bottom right corner, and some woods about halfway up the right edge of the table. Craters and a couple of hills littered the back of the deployment zones.
Turn1
Lord Activates Solar Pulse. Destroyer mob turbo boosts to the left flank, while the Heavy Destroyers move the the right a bit (behind some woods, but nice LOS to the side of the predator. Tyrant flies behind the woods, warriors along the left of the woods and the heavy support monsters behind. Carnifex spews a barbed strangler blast at one of the opponents warrior squads, breaking one machine. The Heavy Destroyers target the Predator, leaving it nothing more then smoking ruin.
The one necron gets back up. The space marines all forgo shooting in running to get back into the action. Necrons hold back. Deceiver attempts to force a Tyranid Warrior unit to fall back, while his destroyers wipe out the other.
Turn 2
Genestealers all come in on the left flank. One warrior unit (not one designated for secondary objective) comes in. Warriors come in onto some ruins in the middle of our table edge. One unit of stealers walks/fleets next to a destroyer unit. Other unit is near the Deceiver. Tyrant flies toward one of the Deceivers warrior squads. Heavy Destroyers turbo-boost to the left, to get away from the marines. Destroyers attempt to wound the deceiver, but fail to cause even a single wound.
'stealers charge Destroyers, 'tyrant charges the warriors. Both combats end in the necrons being routed and run down. both units consolidate to the right.
Deceiver positions himself through the woods to charge the warriors, other warrior squad (on the right side of the table) gets ready to shoot the tyrant. Marines keep moving, but their fire kills one of the Heavy Destroyers. Iron Clad moves to intercept the tyrant (but is way of the far right side of the table). Warriors fail to cause any wounds to the tyrant, with their flayers. Deceiver charges the Warriors and the squad is wiped out.
Turn 3.
last warrior squad comes on for me, put it off centre to the right.Heavy Destroyer stays dead :( Destroyers fall back towards the right, due to the Deciever's presence. Put my lords unit near the ultramarine squad (objective squad ~10" away) in the hope he would charge me with them. Hive tyrant gets ready to charge the other Deceivers warrior squad.
After a bit of a discussion with my team-mate, I convince him not to charge the Deceicer with his Carnifex (due to misdirect), much to the disappointment of our opponents. Carnifex moves right. One 'Stealer squad follows the tyrant, other loiters near the Deceiver.
The Pincer is closing in.
Shooting is uneventful, as I unload all my firepower uselessly agaisnt the Deceiver again, Heavy Destroyers, Shake the ironclad. Carnifex blasts a barbed strangler at tactical marines in centre ruins (not objective marines) killing a couple. Tyrant Charges the last of our opponents necron warriors, with predictable results. Only enemy necons left, are the Deceiver.
In our opponents turn, the Terminators come in near the Deceiver, off to the left-centre of the table. The Deceivers team, figure that the stealers are the biggest immediate threat to the terminators, so the deceiver moves to intercept. Iron Clad marches to engadge the Tyrant.
Unfortunately, My hopes of the marines charging my lord, were in vain. He instead rapid-fired into the other destroyer unit, knocking two over. meanwhile, the Terminator Chaplin shots his bolter at the heavy destroyer, to no effect. Marines in the middle, Take a wound off the Tyrant with Plasma! Ironclad charges the tyrant. Gets it's arm blown off, but the tyrant is reduced to one wound. Deceiver charge the 'stealers. Looses two wounds to rending claws, but kills three of the bugs. Stealers hold.
Turn 4.
No destroyers get back up :(
Lord breaks off from his squad, lone destroyer hides in the back of my lines. Carnifex marches through the rubble in the middle.In shooting, a combination of my destroyers, Carnifex shooting and one warriors shot kill the entire middle marine squad. My lone destroyer, and other marine squad reduces the objective marine squad to four marines. The marines voluntarily fall back, denying me charge!!
Genestealers Kill off deceiver, but only three survive the explosion. Tyrant falls to the Ironclad, while achieving little.
In their turn, the objective marine squad, hides in some woods. Chappy charges zoanthrope, while the terminators charge the 'stealers. Iron Clad charges the other (full) stealer squad. The terminators loose one of their number, but kill the entire 'stealer unit. Chappy and Zoanthrope slap each other uselessly, Iron Clad smacks a couple of stealers, but the combat continues.
Turn 5.
Lord Flies 12" to say hello the the objective marines. Lone destroyer hides behind the house (Just in case). Other destroyers shoot at the terminators, but kill only one. Lord charges the Tactical squad, reducing them to one model. Chappy ends up killing the zoanthrope. Ironclad and 'stealers have become pacifists, and cause no damage to each other.
Terminators are stuck in the middle of nowhere. Ironclad and 'stealers are still pacifists. Lord kills last marine.
Game ends at this point. 8kp we earned vs 5kp they earned. We also accomplished our secondary objective.
15 points for us, so we now have 30 total.
Game two
Voyageurs vs Short Talents
Short Talents
Warboss in megaarmour
Nobz with two powerclaws
Two units of kommandos with burnas
Two units of Ork sluggas
One unit of warbikes
Dark Angles
Interrogator Chaplin
Marine squad with plasmagun+Cannon
marine squad with same load out and Rhino.
Landspeeder with heavy bolter and assault cannons.
Devistator squad, with four missiles.
Vindicator
Mission-Spearhead, Two Objectives.
Secondary Objective. Get a nominated HQ choice 10" away from the opponents objetive. We choose my lord (Destroyer body FTW!) And they choose the warboss.
Table was dominated by a massive Spynx in the middle of the table. There was a path through it, from short table edge-short table edge. The table had a lot of hills on it, and rocky pillars. The right side of the Spynx was more bare, so I decided I want my Destoyers there, as it had clear LOS to their objective.
Our opponents won first turn. They deployed to the top-right quarter. One slugga unit and the Rhino created a wall along their right table edge. They knew we had outflanking 'stealers and took precautions agaisnt it. I told my teammate that the ork wall would not last long ;). Devistators deployed on a hill in the back corner of their deployment, chappy and the other marine squad behind a wall with their objective. Landspeeder deployed behind their wall. Ork bikes deployed near the spynx, while other sluggas in front of the wall. Boss and Nobs deployed behind a hill to the left of their deployment. Both kommando units in out-flank. Vindicator in reserve.
I kept my warriors in reserve, 'stealers outflank. I deployed as far to the right as I could with my destroyers, along with one warrior unit. The rest of the 'tyranids deployed along the top of the Sphinx.
Turn 1.
non-counter-outflank ork unit walked towards our side. Bikes turboboosted to the tyranids, while the boss and nobs slowly walked over a hill. Landspeeder jumped in front of the wall. Shooting didn't really happen.
My Armada boosts to the far right, into good shooting positions, but well enough away from the edge of the table. Lord joined most-forward destroyer unit and activated solar pulse. Warrior unit slowly followed my destroyers. Meanwhile the rest of the 'nids descended onto the bikes.
Tyranid shooting, forced the bikes unit to fall off the table. This would become a common experiance (fleeing orks).
Turn 2.
Speeder comes closer to destroyers, sluggas walk a bit closer. Warboss and orks walk a bit closer to the 'tryanids. No reserves come in. Speeder shoots at the lords destroyer unit, felling two. Missles from the devastators screech across the battlefield, knock a couple of wounds off the 'tyrant.
One of my destroyers get back up. One warrior brood comes in, one stealer brood comes in on the left flank. Warriors walk on near our objective. Heavy Destroyers blast apart the landspeeder, while the destroyers wipe out the wall of ork sluggas along their table edge...clearing the way for the 'stealer :).
Tyranid shooting, causes enough wounds on the warbosses unit, to make them run off the table. Going pretty well so far.
Turn 3.
kommandos come in, to the right of my destroyers and right behind the genestealers. Sluggas continue to marche towards me. Rhino drives to the left of the marine lines. the 'Short Talents' shooting is ineffective, burnas charge the 'stealers and win the round of combat. However, stealers hold.
In our turn, other stealer unit comes on next to the devastators. I move the destroyer lords unit nearer to the one small slugga unit coming near me, while the rest of the destroyers wipe out the kommandos. heavy destroyers shoot the Rhino and blast off it's gun. Tyranids dropped the Tyrand right near the wall, rest of them closing quickly. 'stealers charge the devastators, but the tyrant is out of range. Devastators are eliminated. Burna and 'stealer combat is a draw.
Turn 4
Vindicator comes in, behind the marine wall. Rhino disembarks it's unit in front of the tyrant. Vindicator shoots the 'stealers, but cover saves all but three. Marine plasma kills the tyrant. amphetamine parrotty. orks charge the Destroyers with lord. They cause one wound on the lord and knock over two destroyers. Lord kills one Ork, I pass morale though. Not as good as I expected it to go.
Both destroyers get back up, and my second warrior unit comes on behind my combat.Tyranids continue advance. Heavy-Destroyers try to fly into better position to shoot the vindicator. Tyranids Punish the marine with their shooting. They are all bunched up, so the blasts kill a good amount of them. Heavy Destroyers blow the cannon off the Vindicator. My second devastator unit, counter charges the orks. This time, they fail to wound my honky-tonks, while I wiped out the squad as they route. Stealers charge chappys squad, who loose combat and take wounds for it. Burnas kill off the last of the 'stealers.
Turn 5
Marines move to counter-charge 'stealers. Burnas are effectively out of the game. Stealers still win combat against the marines. Chappy and only one marine are left in the original unit. Ungodly number of rends are witnessed.
Lord Turbo-boosts right next to their objective. Heavy D's shake Immobilize the Rhino. Destroyers also shoot the rhino, but to no avail. One warrior from our objective kills one ork in the burna boys unit, resulting in them running off the table.Carnifex's strangler blows up the Rhino. Stealers are wiped out by the marines.
Game ends, with their objective contested by my lord. Our objective held by us. Also, secondary objective is gained as well.
15 more points for us!
Thus, Team Voyageurs get 'best General' award. Unfortunately, not best overall. Pretty happy with this armylist. I think it should do good next week at the second battle challenge update.
-
Yesterday, was the second Battle Challenge due date. I brought my same army from the Turni, confident in my successes. Needless to say, my confidence was shattered after three losses. I can blame myself for tactical blunders for two of them though, agaisnt orks and space wolves. Another space wolf player (same guy from my first turni-game) decided that Space Wolf priests know all the powers, and when I informed him otherwise, decided his powers after his character had already drop-podded right into the middle of my lines, choosing the powers that royally screwed me over...Frustrating. .
The other games were fun, again, tactical blunders. Got my warriors killed off too easily. Learning how to use the destroyers better.
I have leaned that my warriors really need support. I have been neglecting them, also, I still have lots of trouble killing tanks. Therefore, I got two more heavy Destroyers and Two Tomb Spiders for my next update.
The heavy Destroyers will allow me two two man units to shoot tanks and heavy armoured units, while the spiders can help give the Warriors some support, and allow me to split up the destroyers more, with less fear.
Also, converted up some flayed ones from some extra warriors. I really like the actual flayed one models, however, I should attempt to save some money lol.

Tomb Spyders are awesome. Not only do they do okay in CC, they have two awesome abilities.
1: you make 1 and only one scarab swarm. This gives you three extra wounds to allocate :D
2: Plus they allows models within 12" to WBB to any same squad. That can help :D
-
Yeah, it's the 12" thing that I am really stoked for. Hopefully they will do okay for me.
Today, played in a Planetstrike mega battle. Never played planetstrike before. Had no idea what was going on at the best of times. My team was defenders (5 people vs 5). My team had another necron player. We lost completely. I have some pictures, I wish I could say what was going on, but I would be at a loss for words at most.

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. I have a bit of stuff I wanted to say, but have not had the time to sit down and write it.
First off, my army as it stands now.

So, I now have around 1750pts painted. Super sweet, so I brought them in yesterday to play a couple of games. Both agaisnt Space marine sub-factions. Blood Angels and Space Wolves.
My list, was as follows (1500pts)
Lord w/Viel and Chronomatron
Deceiver
10 Warriors
10 Warriors
3 destroyers
3 destroyers
2 heavy destroyers
2 heavy Destroyers
2 tomb Spyders
Blood angels had;
Capitan in terminator armour and lighting claws (with terminators).
Mephistion (With other terminators).
Two 5 man terminator squads with assault cannons.
Two tactical squads. One with metla/missile. Other with Flamer.
Two multi-melta Attack Bikes.
Death Company (7 or eight models, jetpacks).
The table, had a tower in the bottom right quarter. Building and tower dominating the bottom let quarter. There was a woods in the dead centre, ruin in the top right quarter.
Mission rolled was Secure and Control (Three objectives), with Spearhead deployment. I won the roll for first turn. I was confident that since I had the C'tan, that he would not steal the initiative from me.
One objective was in the centre woods, one in the tower in the bottom right quarter, and one in the top-left quarter.
I deployed in the bottom left quarter. I used the buldings there to hide my warriors from shooing, with the syders and C'tan in the front, with destroyers on my flanks (spilt equally amongst the two types). His force was deployed in a clump (best way to describe it). Termiantors in the front, with Mephistion with the southern-most unit. Tacticals behind, with the missile squad combat-squaded with the missile-half on the second story of some ruins. Deathcompany deepstriking.
Turn 1
I take the first turn, one destroyer and heavy destroyer unit both shoot north. The other destroyer force boosts to the right. Warriors with lord advance north, to that objective, while the other warrior squad follows the Deceiver and spyders.
His entire force, keeps together and heads toward the centre woods. Part of his shooting, takers down the two north-most Heavy Destroyers. Mephistions terminator squad, shoots at one tomb spyder squad and kills their scarab pet.
Turn 2
One of the heavy Destroyers gets back up (thanks to the spyders aura of awesome). I now have one three man unit of HD's. :). I felt a bit of pressure from the advancing termiantors and Mephistion. I knew he could fly rather far, and was pretty tough, so I wanted to avoid him charging me. I moved my Spyders closer to the warriors, and sent the Deceiver further out. North-most destroyer unit kept heading north-west to attempt to stay out of range of his terminators. On the south-flank, I took advantage of my prestigious speed and range to keep my destroyers heading to the right, with the idea of completely flanking his force.
Shooting, was rather infective. Most of it going fruitlessly into terminators. Deceiver fills Mephistion and his termianotrs minds full of mind-shattering terror, but the blood angels are too blood-frenzied to notice. The one spyder builds a new pet.
His deathcompany comes in, scatters right between my two warrior units. Which is amphetamine parrotty, as now I know for sure I am going to loose one of them. Mephistion does fly, but he falls back into his lines and joins the other terminator squad with the captain. His shooting is inefficient. He tries shooting assault cannons into the Deceiver, fruitlessly.
Turn 3
I hop the tombspyders between the death co. and the warrior unit without the lord. Both warrior squads walk closer to the Death Co as well, to strip some atoms. Deceiver thinks it's a good time to charge a terminator squad. From all the warriors, spyders and my lord, I manage to kill three of the deathcompany.His two man squad is also nuked by destroyers as well. Deceiver charges a terminator squad, which is wounded by destroyer fire and wipes them all out.
His deathcompany fly around the spyders, toward the warriors without a lord. His tactical squad (ten man) move towards the top-left quarter objective. His remaining terminator unit, fells my entire northern destroyer squad with small arms. Death company shoot, then charge the lordless warriors. Unsurprisingly, they are routed and cut down. Only three were actually killed by attacks.
Turn 4
Two of the three warriors get back up. Lord and his squad VoD next to the tower objective. Spyders get ready to lay the smack-down on the DeathCompany. Deceiver moves within assault range of the 5 man unit defending the woods objective. Destroyers stay where they are. Shooting is mostly uneventful. Deceiver charges the 5 man unit, killing three, while the Spyders kill off the rest of the death company.
Mephistion flies out of the tactical squad to beat-up spyders. Tacticals and Captain head towards the far left objective, while the termiantors charge the Deceiver (who misdirects). Mephistion fails to charge the syders due to a blotched Difficult terrain roll. Terminators surround the two tactical marines with their consolidate roll.
Turn 5
Spyders shamble around a tower to double-charge mephistion. Warriors walk and run into the tower, lord VoD exactly ontop of the only objective I do not contest. Destroyers kill the last of the combat squad. lord charges into the terminators (and unsurprisingly nukes them). Sypders and their pets loose their first round of combat against mephistion, but cause two wounds and hold on strong.
His captain and tactical squad all surround my lord. Tacticals shoot, but do nothing. Captain charges, causes a wound, with me causing one in return. Spyders manage to grind Mephistion into the dirt. Consolidate north.
Turn 6
Spyders rush out to help my lord, Deceiver is too far out, Destroyers move to get better firing lane. Destroyers shoot his reamaining squad a bit, which is them charged by both spyders. His captain kills my lord, but I now contest his objective with two tomb Spyders.
The last thing he is able to do, is charge his captain into my spyders, but is unable to wound due to my high toughness.
I end up winning with one objective to none.
I don't have the energy right now, to write out the space wolves battle, but it was the same mission and deployment and I was able to win with two objectives to none. Space Werewolves and Space Vampires are no match for Space Undead-Zombie-Robots!
Next week, we need to have 1250 painted and built. Pretty sure I have that covered lol.

Killersquid, 2 things.
1: The army i slooking awesome! I rebring up the idea of detailing the destroyers backs somehow, but otherwise, the army is good.
2: I had thought you had learned...
NECRON RULE 1: Always bring a Res Orb. No exception
NECRON RULE 1A: The Exception to Rule 1 is a dual res lord list.
NECRON RULE 2: Keep the warriors out of combat!
NECRON RULE 3: Best bet for pwning Terminators is a lord :D. Rapid fire them them to 2-3 models. The lord must have a scythe so he ignore all saves. So he only has to wound :D
Explanation.
Rule 1: You run a C'tan, which is know for depleting Warriors Numbers and you run a destroyer flotilla, which does the same. Your you a res orb is MANDATORY! NO EXCEPTIONS! You need the boy with the orb and scythe to protect the warriors.
Rule 2: You made this mistake in your blood angels game. When you have a CC specialist like Death Company, back it up. Use rapid fire from around 16-24" so you can buy time for Deciever or other suitable back up. Preferably have your two squads spread away from eachother but still in range. Then use the Spyder for a tarpit. Remember, if he kills all your warriors, you will nearly always Phase Out.
Rule 3: Explains itself. The Warscythe is the most OP weapon in the game. For 10 points we gain a weapon that ignore ALL SAVES. Cover, armour, invunerable. You wound them they die. It is fun like that :D
Hope my rant can help somewhat :D

Words
Thanks, though it's kinda hard to avoid a unit of jet-pack assault troops when they deepstrike right besides the two warrior squads, behind the rest of the army. It's not like I waited for them to run across the board and charge me, or I'd smoke them. I had only one round of shooting at them with pretty much just half my army. I knew he would get one, and I could veil away the other. Considering the circumstances I think I did rather well. I don't think I really needed the res orb, the need for it never came up in either of the games I played. In the games before, when I did take it, It was never useful to me and was consistently a waste of point. I really don't see the need for it in my army.
All wounds I suffered on the warriors was just failed saves. In the game agaisnt space wolves, the warriors fended off and routed a grey-hunter squad that charged them.
Also, you know whats better at killing terminators? C'tan. Gobbles them up pretty well :). Also, I found that the C'tan and Spyders are great at putting a lot of pressure on my opponent and forcing him to make bad moves. Also, terminators wound me one 2+ with the lord, if he doesn't kill their terminators (which is very likely) hes bound to get smoked in return.

Right-o. next time I'll take some pictures.
Working on adding Decals to the Destroyers Shoulders and flat parts on the skimmers. Will help to distringuesh between the two squads, and also look totally rocking.

maybe you could put some small spikes an the backs of the destroyers' shoulder pads

keep it up man.

I can actually almost pronounce the Cthulhu Chant which you speak of. As long as I have the text in front of me. Helps, that parts of it are in "A shoggoth on the Roof".
I am just happy, that I don't think I need to buy much more models. I am thinking I might buy a couple of the flayed ones anyway, as I'll have like 120pts spare in the 1750pts army, and I might as well add in another unit to annoy my opponents (besides the skimmers, that they cannot catch, the god they cannot kill, and the monsters that creature their own ablative wounds). Or I might just beef up the two warriors squads a bit. I don't know yet. I have plenty of time to worry about it.

No, I like how stream-lined they are. I already have a chaos army, which is covered in spikes. I don't really need to have two armies that use the same accessory. :)
-
so your not gonna beef this over time to apoc level?
-
so your not gonna beef this over time to apoc level?
Over time I will. Goal is 3000pts. A buddy of mine, says he might give me all his necrons for free, so I am going to wait and see if he decides too or not before I buy more then I need for the 1750 Turni. At the end of the battle challenge. I'll need to buy a bigger case too! lol.
-
just wondering, could you play against some CSM( i'd like to get a general idea of how my own army would do agoinast necrons)
-

If I see a chaos marine player I will, but there is not many regular Chaos marine players at my store. :-\

Right-o, Today was the latest battle challenge update. At this point, we need 1250pts painted and built. Something which I am Pwning at. The other very active participants are using Space Wolves, orks and Chaos Space marines. I am sure that there are around 5-9 other people as well, but they have been infrequently at the store. However, as long as they are ready for the turni at the end, they are Okay.
I brought a 1000, 1250, 1500 and 1750pt lists today. I don't really enjoy smaller games and prefer to play 1500 and above. So, the Ork guy and I played a game, and I had a bit of a teaching game with a kid (whose Mother watched the whole thing).
Only really going to talk about the one game agaisnt orks, as the other was an elaborate intro game.
So, it was 1500pts.
I took the same list as before.
Nyarlathotep (Deceiver)
Necron Lord w/Viel and Chronomatron.
Two 10 man warrior Squads
Two 3 man Destroyer squads
Two 2 man Heavy Destroyer Squads
Two Tomb Spyders with Particle Projection Cannons.
Now, my opponet had cleared with the organiser that he could use the FW mega dread as a troops choice, like a Deff dread, as he took meks as his HQ choices. Which was Awesome.
Orks
Mek with Burna and Custom Force Field
Mek With Shock Attack Gun
Two 10 man grot squads with slaver
One Nob Biker unit, with painboy (and orderly), boss poll and two power claws.
Three 3 kan Killa Kan units, all with claw and Grotblasta
One Deff Dread with Burna, shoota and claws
Three 2 man Warbuggie units with missiles.
One Megadread with Claw, Kill Kannon and two big shootas.
Now, keep in mind. The 9 kan army, is one which I have yet to beat. If you have read my previous reports about an Ork Kan army it is this one. I knew I was not going to win, so I really didn't care if the Mega Dread was in it.
Table was pretty funky, But I guess the pictures will give it away.
Mission was Secure and Control (two objectives) and Deployment was Pitch Battle. I deployed my objective 12" up in the middle (on a river, which was difficult ground). He deployed his far top left next to the bunker. I deployed first, pretty much deploying the Monsters in front, warriors behind and destroyers on the flanks. Symmetrical deployments are fun.
He Deployed his entire force behind a Kan wall, with the KFF Mek. The SAG Mek and one grot squad loitered at his objective, with the Nob Bikers. I used my Grand Illusion for Lulz and redeployed both heavy destroyers to my left flank.
I win first turn, and he didn't steal so I went.
Turn 1
I Shoved my monsters all forwards, also they ran in teh shooting phase and ended up halfway across the table on a lovely bridge. The destroyers fanned out, while the warriors chilled. My shooting from my right flank, wiped out one buggy unit, while my heavy destroyers killed the Nob Bikers, while the second destroyer squad wittled away at his SAG Mek's Grot unit. Both Spyders safety created scarabs.

My opponent, Shuffles his Armoured mass towards me, following the River. The shock attack gun fires at my heavy destroyers and knocks one down, while buggies shoot at my right flank destroyers, knocking two down. Killa Kans, fire grot blastas into one of my tomb syders and Nyarlathotep, but only manage to kill a scarab swarm and wound the same Spyder. The Mega Dread, fires it's kill kannon at heavy destroyers as well, but misses horribly.
Turn 2
All my Necrons get back up. My wounded spyder moves left to support the destryer groups, while the other one and Nyarlathotep advance to his first line of Killa Kans. Nyarlathotep, the crawling chaos invokes the most realistic and horrible nightmares upon the KFF Mek and his grot orderlies. However, being orks, they didn't understand a word of it and were unaffected.
The one spyder shoots his Particle Projection Cannon (PPC) at a killa-kan, with expectedly worthless results. Right flank destroyers murder more warbuggies, leaving one unit down to one buggy. Destroyers on left flank, kill the last of the SAG Big-Meks grot bodyguard and leave the mek alone, but falling back. Heavy Destroyers take pot-shots at the Mega-dread, doing no damage.
Nyarlathotep and his spyder buddy (who creates a second syder base to protect against powerfists) charge the Killa Kans. I suffer no wounds (amphetamine parrotty for my spider), but my God and Spyder end up murdering all three Kans HARD. Combat ends, with both surrounded by the majority of his army.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv472%2Fkillersquid%2Fwarhammer%2FNecrons%2FIMG_2723.jpg&hash=09ddf300052840f7d51737306a0d2656ed4ad752) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/killersquid/warhammer/Necrons/IMG_2723.jpg)
The Mega dread, stomps forwards, while the kans move along the flanks. War buggies zoom around. Big Mek regroups. Mega Dread, fires Kill-Kannon at my Tomb Spyder, but the shot scatters wildly onto his own KFF Mek and Grot unit, killing four grots and wounding the Mek. Burnas from the Grot unit, and the Shootas from the Mega-Dread kill one of the Spyders scarabs, and wound the other. His Deff Dread, harmlessly shoots Nyarlathotep. Both Killa-Kan unit. Both Killa-Kan units run closer to me, while the Buggies shots all go wild.
Mega Dread, declares a charge on my Spyder, And crushes the poor thing without a hope.

Turn 3.
I use Viel Of Darkness, to teleport my Lord and a warrior squad next to his SAG Big-Mek, however I scatter partially onto a bunker and loose one warrior to dangerous terrain (well, temporally lost ;)). My destroyers skimm around to get better LOS, but keep well in the back. Right-flank destroyers take their hand at breaking more buggies, they fire at the last two man unit, killing one, leaving the other shaken and with no gun. Heavy Destroyers shoot at killa kans, blowing off their grot-zookas on two and wrecking a third. The destroyers fired hopelessly at the Mega Dread. Nyarlathotep, attempts yet again, to fill the KFF Meks mind full of mind-shattering terror, but needs to turn it up the the 11. VoD Lord and Warriors nuke his other Mek. Nyarlathotep, Charges his Mega-Dread, and breaking off it's claw and suffers no damage in response.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv472%2Fkillersquid%2Fwarhammer%2FNecrons%2FIMG_2727.jpg&hash=ae4c7b249996fa7b1bf7cb828ae81d2e8fbc9d9e) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/killersquid/warhammer/Necrons/IMG_2727.jpg)
The Deff Dread, moves to the river. His Killa Kans keep marching forwards. The ones on the right, fire at my Destroyers, kill one, and my unit fails it's morale test and runs off the board :P. The one warbuggie that can shoot, misses it's shot at heavy destroyers. His KFF Big Mek, is able to fix the Mega Dreads claw, however Nyarlathotep doesn't take to kindly at that, and tears the enitre ram-shackle machine apart. The explosion kills the rest of the nearby Grotz. I am now the first person at my store to kill a Mega Dread :D.
Turn 4
Right, so, I notice that his non-shooting killa-kans are getting close to one warrior squad, while the Deff Dread is getting close to the other. The warriors fall back into teh bunker to force Difficult ground on the Dread, while my destroyer armada moves to support the killing the of the Deff Dread, which happens with a couple of shots from my heavy destroyers. Unfortunaly, I am unable to harm his Killa-Kans. The Deceiver however charges his still unharmed Killa Kan unit, and kills two of them off the bat, with no harm in return.
Followed by the KFF Mek, the two gun-less Killa Kans get ready to charge my warriors by the river. His Buggies Drive by them across the bridge, one turboboosts pretty far.I loose a handful of warriors on the charge, but don't run away. In combat, Nyarlathotep kills the last Kan and Advances to the Bridge.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv472%2Fkillersquid%2Fwarhammer%2FNecrons%2FIMG_2728.jpg&hash=5142bb6ad4d9ccd7c1c2e2c87dd0ead88dc1d145) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/killersquid/warhammer/Necrons/IMG_2728.jpg)
Turn 5
I know know, that I cannot allow his one warbuggie to contest my bunker objective, so I make a wall of destroyer to prevent that from happening. Nyarlathotep, floats over to the Kans, while my destroyers blow the crap out of all the remaining two Warbuggies. Nyarlathotep enters combat, saves the warriors and there is much rejoice.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv472%2Fkillersquid%2Fwarhammer%2FNecrons%2FIMG_2729.jpg&hash=4f84ece5f7b5455f92453366c38902593479b9d8) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/killersquid/warhammer/Necrons/IMG_2729.jpg)
Only the KFF Big-Mek remains, who charges my warriors as well. His burna kills one, I loose combat, but don't run.
Turn 6.
Nyarlathotep enters the last Combat, picks up the Mek by it's head, crushes it, and tosses the bloody remains of the Ork at the bridge for good measure.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv472%2Fkillersquid%2Fwarhammer%2FNecrons%2FIMG_2730.jpg&hash=d4386435c876266aa77de4d9b3220ebd976016c1) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/killersquid/warhammer/Necrons/IMG_2730.jpg)
game Ends.
So, I controlled both Objectives and completely wiped out my opponents army. Not too shabby of I don't say so myself. :) First time fighting anything big from Forge World, Sweet model, but no more tougher then an IronClad. Such an armoured force though, is a nightmare to face. No matter what I have done before, I was always crushed by that army (sans the Mega-Dread, which is new). I feel that I have hit the golden spot with my army now that I've hit the 1500pt mark.

Congrats on the victory, that was quite the slaughter. It definately seems like you've reached that finesse point with your army. Love the synergy. I always thought C'Tans were kind of a waste of points, considering they move really slow, and don't contribute to Phase Out. But that Deciever was just brutal throughout the battle. Popping hot water tanks like crazy. This should silence some of the "Necrons are the weakest army currently!" people. They seem to do just fine against quite a bit of armour. But maybe I shouldn't open that can of worms in here.
I'm glad to hear the painting is going well, and lucky break with your friend and his necrons. Come to any decision on Immortals and the like? Or have you found your medium? This... Actually makes me consider Necrons. I think Destroyers are neat. How is the army as a whole? Likes, dislikes. Obvious advanages/disadvantages? Thanks
COOOBBBRRRAAA!!!

Since you have your medium :D I would consider wisely what you must now do...
Play another 1-2 games, and think really hard about your main strengths and weaknesses. So it be like:
(from above)
I am good at dealing with walkers.
The Deciever is god-like (w00t pun intended :))
I am bad at getting my destroyers shot up
My necrons are getting charged too much.
Rough idea. So we need to minimise the bads while maximising the goods. So. Destroyers are a main part of your army. They are in the goods and bads. So another 150p 3 man unit would probably be a good investment. Then you can pop a 5 man falyed ones unit, to add flavor, 5 more necrons and a anti CC unit to take charges. A neat final warsythe can be added to the lord for CC protectiveness, or a item of your choice.
So yeah, play you well playing list and see what would be best for your army :D
(Perrsonally, I believe you could use another scoring unit, so a unit of warriors and add some scarabs to protect them ;))

I am really digging the army at this point, the speed and lethality of the units is marvellous. I was, at the beginning super-sceptical of the C'tan personally, but I have discovered that I keep winning games when I take one. Running one right at your opponent really makes them sweat and can force them to make bad decisions. I find that my biggest weakness is close combat, so the deceiver, or nightbringer are the ultimate answer to any sort of close combat unit out there.
For the Army, I love it. Currently enjoying it more then any army I have used before. Still working out the finesse points in the force, like I dropped my destroyer lord for a Viel one for example. I really doubt I'll add any Immortals or such shenanigans in for my Turniment army. Maybe when I expand to above 1750pts. I feel that I'll just add in warriors and destroyers.
I like Piraiahs, as they have a cool energy, but not until the 2000pt games I feel, where I can spend points I don't care about loosing.
Only thing I dislike are the flying stands, which my models keep following out of. However, I now have a whole slew of magnets that my friend sold me, so I can magnetize all the destroyers and their stands. I find that the army is really good at shooting stuff, and good if people spread their fire across multiple units. The bad, is that I keep failing moral checks at the worst time, and combat and focusing of fire really screw me over. I like it if people kill one destroyer from each units, not if you kill 'em all. I do need more troops, but I really cannot justify ruining my synergy by adding them in at 1500pts. For the turni though, I will add in another 10 man unit, which should help.
Since you have your medium :D I would consider wisely what you must now do...
Play another 1-2 games, and think really hard about your main strengths and weaknesses. So it be like:
(from above)
I am good at dealing with walkers.
The Deciever is god-like (w00t pun intended :))
I am bad at getting my destroyers shot up
My necrons are getting charged too much.
Rough idea. So we need to minimise the bads while maximising the goods. So. Destroyers are a main part of your army. They are in the goods and bads. So another 150p 3 man unit would probably be a good investment. Then you can pop a 5 man falyed ones unit, to add flavor, 5 more necrons and a anti CC unit to take charges. A neat final warsythe can be added to the lord for CC protectiveness, or a item of your choice.
So yeah, play you well playing list and see what would be best for your army :D
(Perrsonally, I believe you could use another scoring unit, so a unit of warriors and add some scarabs to protect them ;))
Thats a good idea, I'll make a mental note of things when I play more games. Battle reports like this, area a good way for me to focus on amphetamine parrot that went wrong as well. For my next 250pts (to get to the Tournament size) I'll add in three more destroyers and 10 warriors. Leave me about 20pts to buy like a solar pulse on the Lord or something. I have desired to add in Flayed ones, but I cannot justify it as much.

nice pics, would love to see more

Hmmm. Getting some more necrons to expand my current army. Maybe I should grab a deceiver...
Or Gobblygook, Destroyer of worlds!

can we get an army shot with the spiders plz?

I feel that using him, dies depend on the army. And army size. For me, hes a distraction through and through. Do try him out though. I do want to try out the Nightbringer too and see how they compare. Maybe latter. Not sure which God to represent the Nightbringer as either. The single lascannon shot would be nice I would imagine. Also, pushing around enemy units in the assault phase would be fun.I think it's points cost starts getting silly though.

Nice win, Squid! Great job in killing off those Nob Bikers nice and early (it was lucky that you did, IMO). This just comes to show that no one should underestimate the C'tan. As an aside, it's nice to see that the Ork dude has painted up some of his Kans since I last saw them.
What is so special about a Mega-Dread anyway, aside from having a very snazzy model?
-
Thanks! Yeah, I was not too worried about the bikers. S9 Shots deal with them very well.
The Mega Dread is a forge world model, and uses these rules. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/pdf/orkexprules2.pdf (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/pdf/orkexprules2.pdf)

Cool looking army, a bit off topic but I really like the grot kans the ork guy was fielding too.

Right, look at this. I hold it upside down, but it doesn't fall off the base. Oh I love magnets. Don't like attaching 26 magnets to 13 destroyers though.

Played two games today. One of which I made a battle report here (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=191970.msg2357012#msg2357012), other I'll write up later.
Did some pondering for my 1750pts army. I have decided that warriors are pretty pointless. Destroyers are really good too. Also, I feel that I could really use some sort of outflanking troops to mess with people who put objectives near table edges. Bought another box of warriors, thinking of dropping two heavy destroyers, adding in two more destroyers and adding in two units of flayed ones, for fun. Not 100% sure.
Magnetic bases are working out really well for the destroyers. None falling over anymore.
-
nice battle report. can't wait to see more.

Right-o. Been very busy with classwork, but managed to sneak in some time to work on my lovely necron force. Due to the fact I gave my spiders guns (and in all honestly, why wouldn't I?) I had a couple of extra claws. So, Instead of a silly sythe, my lord has GIANT CRUSHING CLAWS! Awesome!

Also, working on some 'flayed ones' out of warrior bitz. Heavyily WIP, but my idea is a gaggle of quadiped necrons that leap through terrain and are very feral-like.

You realize that is Immortal necron like than Pariah necron like...
But it is a kick ass immortal at that!
-
Both have same gun. As long as it gets a big blade on other hand it'll work.
-
You know, Paraih would be pretty easy to sub in. Little shaft, Green stuff some detail, attach necron blaster...
1 nox of necrons + steyrene rods and sheet + ingenuity = PARAIHS!

Yeah, but their little staff guns are silly. Bigger guns are better! I think it's fair enough to take some artistic licensing into the models. They don't need to look exactly the same.
-
I just realized, that this thing has a lot of views. Crazy.
What else it crazy, is that I saw Wolfmother a couple nights ago..Awesome!
Anyway.
Flayed ones almost done, just need to paint. As well as four new bases of scarabs. Decided that the guys with the big guns will become Immortals, as they are cheaper and will be easier to actually finish. Need to bulk 'em up now.

Definitely coming a long really nicely. Your Flayed Ones remind me of the standard enemies you fight in The Suffering. I'd suggest googling it if you haven't heard of the game. Might give you some more inspiration.
Where'd you manage to get all the extra destroyer guns from? Or are they in fact scratch built? If so. Very nice work. The lord looks very cool as well. Question though. How do the Tomb Spyders work with the gun? My friend plays Necrons and he says because of the low BS, it's not that worth it.
COOOBBBRRRAAA!!!

Four heavy destroyers+1 Destroyer Lord. All destroyer kits come with the parts needed to make a compleate destroyer. Just so happens that the hybrid kits contain extra metal parts. The Gauss cannons were just sitting on the frames, so I slapped them onto some extra warriors I had.
For the Spiders, The gun is pretty pointless. However, I like the idea of giant spiders with giant guns. I have never been in a situation where the extra attack in combat would make a difference, and I have used the gun on a couple of times in helpful circumstances. Keeps things flexible.

walk softly.....and carry a big gun.

Exactly my thoughts. I think I might go all "King in Yellow" (http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Image:HeraldTheKingInYellow.png)on them.
-
Right, so today at my LGS another guy was there with his Necrons and they had a wicked cool design on their carapace. Looks really simple, but very cool. I am going to steal that idea to detail my Destroyers Carapaces. Not sure which colour I should use though to contrast the yellow. Thinking black and white to contrast the whole model, or just purple on the skimmer body and ignore the shoulders (leave the transfers).
-
Trying a pattern on the carapace of my necron destroyers. What do you guys think so far? Chose two very neutral colours. Very messy, but is bascially a trial run for colours and design more then a finished product.

just 'bout had a nerd-gasm when i saw the pattern, but then I saw it was black and gray (boooo!)I say go for some color on the pattern, or at least a metallic, aside from that, i didn't know if your scheme could be improved... thanks for sowing me different
-
Do you think it should be silver then? I am not sure on what colours would be best. Should be two though, with one as a background for the other. Could do black, with gold on top perhaps.
-
I have been following this blog for a while, your necrons look very nice.
I wanted to give a comment for the last pattern, you could use a purple/brown-ish metal with black border and some glow yellow/green circuit lines if it looks too simple.
i hope it helps.

I like the idea, but I would suggest it being less ball more line. Maybe smaller balls though and thinner lines. Or just a little spaced out more perhaps? Love the idea though.

I like that the transfers occasionally show up if the lighting is right, and that the new markings cover sections of them adding a second layer to the model's scheme. Not the neatest job, but I like the result.
My lord though, I am going to try something different..

Thanks for the kind words, sorry I didn't reply 'till now. In any case, I made some Pariah count-as's. Pariahs are Human Necron Hybrids. I watched the movie Virus a few years ago, multiple times, which gave me some inspiration.

I love the conversion work in this army
It gives it a truly unique look and feeling.

Thanks eh? I don't like having my army look like anyone else's, and conversions are a good way to enable this.
Update on the Pylon. It's quite large.

I just stumbled upon this thread, and I gotta say...I am lovin' the paint scheme. Nice to see some thing different than the ol' metal basecoat & black wash.
-
Thank you! I for one hate my army looking like anyone elses. Therefore I use crazy colourschemes. My Grey Knights are Orange and Blue.
Anyway, I built my Pylon as much as I can without priming it (due to the crystal installation). And I finished painting the classic Destroyer.

Pylon is so cool, as the crescent rotates back and forth. I wonder if this destroyer will stick out too much from the rest of my squads....
-
I love those old models! I'd almost forgot they existed until I read the last few posts.
Maybe you could use him as an alternate destroyer lord?
-
I love the OOP figures too, only wish that I could get my hands on a few.
I would use that OOP guy as a Heavy Destroyer for whe you run single figure unit(s)..
PM'd you something too.

I am actually planning on tearing off the gun arm, and attaching an extra Destroyer Lord arm to him instead. However, I need greenstuff and more glue before I can do that, so I am holding off.

As a heavy destroyer, I already have four 'actual' heavy destroyers. I personally feel that unless I extended the barrel, I couldn't in good faith use it as a heavy.
I enjoyed the PM, all I need to do now is buy some wraiths, as I have none so far.
-
I use 1 Destroyer to build a Wraith + Tomb Spider... Saves Cash and keeps to my theme of everything outta the Battle Box.
I do have 3 Regular Metal Wraiths (got in trade with Lazarus) but I find them realy top heavy, and expensive.... Which brings me to my next questions..... I got a line on some oop figures (internet) -- How do the oop Immortals and Destroyers compare in size and balance to the newer ones, and what do you think is a fair price for the oop stuff as I do not think they are worth the price of the current figures.
Final Question -- How would you feel about helping me make a pylon outta the battle box... ? something simular to the "paper-lith" I did way back....
Cheers
-
I saw your guide, very cool. however, I really do like the look of the wraith models, so If I do get them, I'll get the real things..most likely.
For the size and balance of the old and new models? A buddy at my store plays an all pewter necron army, and the old Immortals are quite solid. They are much bulkier then the current Immortals, but less sleek looking. I don't have any real scale relationship bettween the two, as I own no version of any immortals. Besides my lord, which is converted from one. I don't see either of them being terribly tippy, or at least from what I remember.
For destroyers, I took some pictures of one of my current ones, next to the classic one.

Keep in mind, that the older one is on an older base, therefore much higher up. For tippyness, mine are quite stable. However, I mounted my classic destroyer on a ball-and-socket joint skimmer base, so it's on it's base quite good. I also magnetized all my plastic destroyers to their bases too, so none of my destroyers are even remotely tippy. The slot on the bottom of the old destroyer is rather insignificant to keep it on a base un-glued. So you'd need to either use the old ball-socket joint bases, which can allow good storage and be quite stable. Or you should magnetize it.
For pricing, I've never seen them sold for anywhere near current value. Though, they are quite rare now, which is a factor. I am not really one to say what is the best price. Mostly, it's what ever your willing to pay, or what the seller is willing to get rid of it for. I've only really bought stuff like this off people on ebay.
Pylon out of a box? How would I help you with this? In all seriousness, the Pylon kit is among the coolest kits GW has, and for it's cost it's quite good.
-
Fire me a couple pics of the pylon with a ruler in the picture (close to base, by the arced section, etc)... I wanna try to scratchbuild one... If it gets overly troublesome for me to figure out the demensions, I'll let you know; but I can generally build stuff to be close enough to fool average gamer.

That shouldn't be too much trouble. If I have the time, I'll do that tomorrow morning.

Started getting the base colours on the Plylon going. Once this part is done, I'll finish the other bits I have not yet assembled and glue it all together. There are about four other small bits and the green crystal I've not assembled into it yet, as I wont be able to get the Crystal in/out once I do.

I like the ratio for purple to Yellow.... it looks menacing... However: Green Rod/crystal thing worries me, as it might need some light effect painting to really pull it off.
Keep us updated.

Thanks, I'll see how it looks with the Crystal, once I get there. I've been starting to do lighting on the warriors and destroyers, so I have no problem doing it on the Pylon.

Next time I head to the east coast, I'll bring them with me. I am glad you like them, but I wont be happy 'till they are all painted. I hate unpainted models in my army. Cannot use the new guys until they are (personal reasons).
I'd like to see what your force looks like now. Any luck with the pylon?

Pylon will not be started for some time (broken Hand) ... But I starting to draw out some ideas for templates...
I will try to get a revamped pic of "The Mighty Green Machine" ASAP.

Bummed hand is pretty amphetamine parrotty, hope it gets better soon. I would like to see the MGM all together at this stage as well.
I played an Apoc game on the weekend. My Necrons (about 3400pts, without the Pylon) and Marines, Vs Guard. They had a couple of baneblade variants which my Scarabs and a Lord crippled or destroyed. We won 4-1 at the end of the 4th turn (as the store was closing).
Turn 1 Charge with Scarabs and Lord on chimera. Immobolize it. Destroyers Shake the big gun on the Stormlord.

Battle Report is done, took quite a bit longer to put together then I thought it would. Most likely because it was a big battle. Took over 100 pictures over the course of the game ha ha ha.

I've been busy working on class work, and have not had a chance to really work on the army until recently. I plan to get back into it now.
An army shot is here. However, this is an older picture. Since then I have bought the NightBringer, and I have built more Flayed ones and finished painting one more squad of destroyers. Also, all the scarabs are painted (from this picture) I have made seven more.

Wow, your cell is as large as mine is and you actually have more painted (I must get on with my work on The Mighty Green Machine).
Seriously love the look of the army overall, and those conversions are most excellent (The immortals look familiar for their weapons conversion).
I have yet to actually build all the stuff I want; but I will let the community know when/as I get the Machine done up.
Once again thank you for sharing.

I play quite a few Apoclypse games, so having one large force is helpful. I plan to keep expanding it. I need more Pylons though..ha ha. Let me know when you post more progress on your Necrons. I quite like their scheme, and it'd be good to see them active again.
I finished painting my immortals. The guns are based off your tactica. very handy. I used the old Pewter necrons though, and besides the guns I did not convert the bodies. They seemed pretty beefer as they are.

Listen... I'm gonna have to stop looking here... I already have Orks, Space Wolves, Black Templars, Dark Angels, Tau and now Chaos Marines under way. You're making me think about getting some Necrons..!
Great work. A very bold move on the colour scheme, and one that works well. It sounds a bit odd to hear 'Yellow and purple'... but you've used the colours to great effect. And it creates a great cohesiveness to your army... Not to mention that they'll really stand out..!
Nice one...

Very nice Lord, I like the design on the carapace and the sickly yellow of the Nightbringer looks great.
-
Thank you. Once my finals are over, I'll have the time I need to finish them all up. The scheme on the carapace is based off of one of my Abstract paintings. (http://jaredbond.blogspot.com/2010/11/here-is-slection-of-abstracts-ive-done.html)
-
Nice paintings, I particularly liked the last one. It looks fitting for Necrons, like it isn't abstract but simply too advanced for humans to understand. :)
-
Finished the Lord and the Nightbringer. Also, as a side note, I got five grey knight terminators and thirteen power armored grey knights for forty dollars yesterday. Not too shabby. However, all the power armoured knights are without arms or backbacks. So another forty dollars will solve that problem. Still, over on hundred dollars saving after all that. I am quite content.

Magnetizing amphetamine parrot. Then I need to get to priming five or so destroyers, a wraith and some scarbs. Then paint them, and finish painting ten Flayed ones.

Hey good bases, dry bruhsed and add a green rod for astetics, kinda reminds me of my own simply design.
The magnets are a solid idea as I never glue my bases to the figures and Blue Tac wastes a lot of time. Thanks for the inspiration as well, since I have a ton of Necron stuff to get painted still.
Cheers.

I've been unbelievable busy the last few weeks with class. However, I've started working on the last of my Grey Knights. There is about twelve models. I've finished the two psycannons first. Not yet based, but it'll be the same as the other Grey Knights I posted.

I also finished a whole bunch of Chaos marines, but then tore up a bunch of them to give their arms and backpacks to the grey knights. Their organization is now destroyed. Here are pictures of them.

Still more to paint. Also, I need to add extra highlighting to my whole army. Work Work.
-
im sorry man, but that purple and yellow only remind me of our losing vikings this past season..... lol
overall GJ
-
I'm assuming 'GJ' means good job, so thank you.
However, I don't get your reference with vikings. I don't understand how yellow and purple relates to how you misplaced your vikings. Normally I would assume that'd be a non-issue, as Vikings no longer exist. I also don't see how it's funny, as vikings could cause a lot of harm to a civilian population if they are not expecting a group of lost vikings mucking about.
-
Viking as a sports team Killersquid.
Your work is good as always. Cheers and thanks once again for sharing.
-
Yeah, man, those look great. I really like the scheme, and it's great how you've managed to continue it through the army. I like the lord with the abstract carapace, definitely sets him apart. And nice heretics, too!
Oh, and Killersquid, there is absolutely NO reason to think that the Vi-queens would cause harm to anyone.

Right, that makes sense. Also, thanks.

Thank you. I have done a few abstract paintings for class, so decided to bring that practice to 40k. I was thinking of doing the same sort of designs on my monolith. I have a second lord I need to re-model, and he'll get the same decoration for sure. Makes them stand out nicely in battle.
-
My friend, you have to paint the monolith in an abstract design! I took a look at the account you linked to before, and I must say, I am impressed. A 3d wraparound on the monolith, maybe even with lights...? ;D
-
Currently, I am painting a necron onto my hard GW case, but afterwards I think I might just take the brush to the monolith again. Sadly, I got the model pre-built, so lighting it up just wont be possible. Next one, certainly.
Edit*
I more or less finished my case. A bit wonky in places, but good enough for a couple hours work.

The death company are going to be used to create Sanguinary Priests.
-
Looking forward to see what sort of weird colours you decide for those models. Any laid out plans yet?
-
Do it Killersquid. Do it now.
And I second Benis, if you do quartered GK, you can't do golden Sanguinary Guard. Do em black, I say. Nice and grim.
-
I actually was thinking about doing them gold, but using washes and no actual gold paint and then using a bright blue for a spot colour. I can think about other colours though...I could do them a white-bone colour. I don't want to do them black though. I like armies with bright colours. All my current armies are rather..um...vibran t.
Edit
Started painting them. I'm going the boring route for once. No metallic paints though.

Very nice! Cool twist on the regular colour scheme.
-
I'll also throw in that I think they look great. They look kind of faded/washed out, giving the whole 'Dying Chapter' (BA are slowly dying out, right?) thing a very clear visual representation. Much cooler than any of GW's bright rainbow schemes for their GrimDark game, and so much more fitting.

Yeah, I wanted to avoid using metallic paints. I like the almost stone-like look to them. The Blood Angels are a doomed chapter (at least currently). Glad you like 'em.

Because my Blood Angels are finished and that my chaos space marines are my only other army currently in the same country as me, I feel they need a bit sprucing up. Currently, they are of the "two meltagun in rhinos" approach, but I think that's a bit boring at this stage. I've decided to go back to the main thing which I truly and unequivocally love about the chaos spacemarine codex. Chaos Spawn.
Basically, I am going to go for an army which is all Toughness five (or tanks). I don't imagine to get the army finished until the summer (as a lot of my spawn are not with me), but I can work away at converting up more. I don't really want to spend a lot of money, so I might end up juts buying bags of bases and greenstuff and maybe one or two spawn kits as bits and then go buck-wild on my chaos space marine troopers.
My ideas for lists as it stands are as follows. Most likely it'll change. I'll work on the plague marines first.

Getting ready for the Firenze Throne of Skulls coming up in a few weeks. I made my Blood Angels army some objective markers by painting some 40mm bases. I wanted non-modeled bases, as my whole army for traveling needs to fit into a cardboard box I got a forge world order in.
Here they are. I am unable to photograph them without them looking utterly horrid at the moment, so you're all going to have to deal with that.

As an aside, I started painting a Zoanthrope, but the lighting at the moment is terrible (need daylight) so maybe I'll put up a picture of that later, but it's heavily WIP.
Next thing I need to go is build a display board...Maybe I can turn the lid of the Cardboard box into one....Go-go Gadget cardboard box! Also on the to do list. Find out where the event is taking place, what time and to translate the event guide! Huzzah!
