Necron Lord complete..

Finally managed to finish off the other Necron Lord I have.. only the monolith and 5 more immortals to go.. and the monolith will require a tin of black spray paint before I go any further with it.. just because I can't quite get into all the nooks and crannies..

More photos..

after last night's battle I'm hoping to have some more photos of my blood angels including an overall army picture.. as it currently stands before I start painting more of it of course..

And a photo of my necron army.. woo!

Tuesday night battle..

585 points.. Necrons vs Marines

A lot of shooting resulted in 1 immobilised Dreadnaught and a killed squad of terminators.. Woo!

Warscythes are interesting for combat.. especially since you loose the shooting attack.. but the plus side is the total inability to save against the wounds.. 4 attacks on the charge.. bonus!

Nightbringer

Just finished the nightbringer and I'm actually happy with it.. it's layered.. and although I'll likely end up stripping the model at a later date to re-paint it.. I like it..

2000 points ish vs Smurfs & Sisters of Battle

Right.. found a little gaming venue that's dirt cheap and close enough to work so I'm not taking the piss with my transport requirements..

I fielded 2100 ish points of Necrons:

1 Nightbringer
1 Destroyer Lord w/ Res Orb, Phase Shifter

3 Wraiths
8 Flayed Ones
10 Immortals

3 Destroyers
1 Heavy Destroyer

20 Necron Warriors
20 Necron Warriors

JonJon had roughly 1000 points of Smurfs and Tim brought about the same for Sisters of Battle. Tim joined late and brough his forces in from reserves except for the ones that chose to deepstrike.

Highlights:
Wraith unit assaulting into a squad of Sisters and wiping them out completely.

Lowlights:
Flayed Ones coming in from deepstrike on turn 3 and scattering into a squad of marines, I roll a 1 on the deepstrike mishap table and there goes the unit of flayed ones..

Ultimate Lowlight: Gemma's Mum's house was broken into so we called the game early, Tim packed up all the stuff whilst Jon & I hauled backside to the house..

Immediate thoughts on my army.. More Destroyers are needed.. 1 unit of 3 are way too fragile. More Heavy Destroyers are needed.. the Nightbringer is a beast in combat, but my dice rolling is well iffy.. I might be better off fielding a second lord either on a Destroyer body or on foot and some Monoliths to work against armour.. also, the Nightbringer's Etheric Tempest ability is very badly worded and took a good 10 minutes of re-reading to get it to work right..

1 unit of Immortals complete

and only 5 others left.. and I've got a deceiver and a nightbringer to sort out.. I know how I want them to look.. now it's just making my hands make it happen..

Gaming tomorrow with JonJon after work.. apparently he's not played Necrons before.. so it'll be interesting to see how he copes with it..

Painting Tray : 1 x Deceiver, 1 x Nightbringer, 1 x Dreadnaught, 5 x Immortals, 1 x Attack Bike, 1 x Whirlwind

C'tan..

cometh.. I have one deceiver and one nightbringer all base coated and ready for some paint.. I'm thinking of starting with the deceiver as it's all metallic.. then having a go at shading for the nightbringer.. it'll be fun..

No further progress

Strangely.. no painting got done last night.. as I ran out of black paint.. d'oh!

5 down.. 10 to go..

5 Immortals completed and based.. and the wraith is complete as well.. 5 more Immortals to be completed and 5 more need basing.. then the Lord..

Why am I thinking that a monolith would be a good addition.. sigh..

Painting Tray : 10 Immortals, 1 Lord, 1 Whirlwind, 1 Dreadnaught, 1 Attack Bike, 1 Landspeeder

2 done..

Finished one more Immortal last night.. and finished the base coating on a few more.. so 5 left to base coat... I think I should be able to have these completed by the weekend..

Painting Tray : 1 Necron Lord, 1 Necron Wraith, 13 Necron Immortals, 1 Whirlwind, 1 Attack Bike, 1 Dreadnaught, 1 Landspeeder

99 Immortals on the wall, 99 Immortals on the wall....

1 down.. almost.. just need to snow flock the base and it's done.. 14 left and the wraith.. and the lord.. and I'd like to get it done for the weekend.. fingers crossed.. took me ages to just undercoat 5 models last night.. will see how it goes.. don't know why, but for some reason the paint is a little on the thin side and won't adhere properly to the metal.. maybe they just need a wash with some warm soapy water to remove any mould freeing residue..

Painting Tray : 14 Immortals, 1 Wraith, 1 Lord, 1 Whirlwind, 1 Landspeeder, 1 Attack Bike..

Immortals, Lords and Wraiths

So.. a pleasant Saturday of modelling has now got 15 immortals, 1 lord and 1 surprise present wraith ready for painting.. I'm thinking that will happen tonight.. just need to dig out a couple of the older ones so that I match up the paint scheme.. it's been a little while since I've painted them..

Necron Immortals..

argh.. ok.. I like to paint necrons as they give you a good sense of accomplishment.. you get a lot done quickly.. but.. these immortals take me approximately 30 minutes to clean up and put together .. each.. so 15 immortals at 30 minutes a piece.. yeah.. you do the math.. oh well..
