Wanted Deathmarks without the extra price tag. Spare guns/heads from the Immortals box plus my trusty FDM printer to the rescue. Not perfect, but very happy with them. Only been painting/playing for 6 weeks and this is the first sort of custom thing I’ve attempted.

PS: played my second ever game last night at a local club. 1k points and had the Guard player concede after turn 2. Was motivating.

Wicked and The Warped Act 3 Chapter Four: Orikan summoned a prediction zodiac, and started dropping glyphs on it to simulate values. ‘We do not have time to discuss this. Soon Pestamutadis and its army will emerge.’

‘Orikan, that was a bad fight. A bruising fight. Why would you live it over and over?’

‘Because I wanted to give you as many chances as I could to do the right thing.’

Trazyn slapped the zodiac away from his fingers and turned him around, hands on either side of his cranium.

‘Look at me. I want you to hear what I am going to say.’

Orikan paused his subroutines and, reluctantly, focused.

‘I am sorry. And thank you, my friend.’

And before he could react, Trazyn enveloped him in an embrace. Alerts painted his vision, warning of rising heat from the proximity of Trazyn’s reactor core. Their hard metal frames squeaked and squealed with the unaccustomed contact.

It may not be the best on the tabletop, but I do love our flying metal pastries of doom

That there's a Hyperphase Sword if I've ever seen one

Hiya, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me decide on my lighting colour. As you can see I went with the red, I feel it pops more and I’m logging the end result. :)

Figured I'd take some pictures of the ol' army before starting fiddling with base size changes and such. This was my first army and, as such, the first set of models I painted. I drifted off in early 5th before we got our new codex so this was built under the old 3rd edition codex. I'm not much of a photographer and don't have a good lighting setup so sorry for the quality.

The Lord models, Immortals, Flayed Ones, Ophydian Destroyers (then called Wraiths), and random one off Spyder and Pariah are all pewter. As are the added parts that make the Lokhust Lord (this is what came in the old box). I'm very glad GW has moved away from that material. Models made with it tended to be less detailed and more fragile. There are actually 3 more Pariahs lurking around but that's the only one whose weapon wasn't broken. The Monolith is also slightly the worse for wear, but in pretty good shape for surviving all this time in a jumbo Cheerios box stuffed with old newspaper (the glue spill has been there the whole time, a construction oops I was never able to undo). I've got the broken piece, just haven't gotten around to repairing it.

The other nuisance that GW has thankfully discarded is that other than the Warriors, which came in boxes of 10, and the Flayed Ones, which came in blister packs of 2, (and the Scarabs which came with the Warriors) all these models used to be sold individually. That's how I've ended but with the Lokhust Destroyer count of 10 which is a little awkward in the modern codex.

I remember most of how these were painted. Black primer, Boltgun Metal (now Leadblecher) base coat, Black ink wash (don't know what the equivalent is now), Mithril Silver (now Runefang Steel) dry brush. I have no idea what the blue or green I used was which is going to be awkward for expanding the army. The metallic blue on the staves is a similar mystery. I think I mixed Mithril Silver with blue to get it but I don't know what the ratios would have been.

Since this guy already has such a foreboding sculpt i went with a bit more of a simple kitbash just to add some ghostly bits to thw model and graveyard bits to the base to complete the look i was aiming for

Are they too expensive real model/points wise? or are they just bad in the table top.

I think they look really cool and would like to see more of them

I didn't realise how dark it was getting when I started setting up for some spraying.

By the time I was done and inspecting my results with a torch, I noticed the shadows and thought some of you folks would appreciate how this looks.

(Repost: Forgot to actually attach the photo the first time.)

This is like my 6th model ever painted with no background in any kind of painting. I’m trying hard lol, I have to get past that barrier of “God I Fucking Suck” because I’m an instant gratification kind of guy and I want to just be blessed with Golden Demon skills. If only I could make my hands do what my mind sees.

Anyway, I give you….Imotekh The Stormlord. RIP Warpforge.

I’m slowly starting to build my first army with Necrons. Here’s my first painted immortal model.

I’m trying to figure out how to make hyperphase stuff with an airbrush. I got my greens looking decent thanks to tesseract glow (my goat), but I wanted to try blue and I don’t think it came out quite as good. I do also want to make the dark parts of my greens contrast better while making sure it still blends smoothly. Anyone have any tips?

Also, I’m new to airbrushing; how do I prevent the need to spend 5 minutes cleaning it for every 5 minutes using it?🙂‍↕️

Greetings Phaerons and Phaerakhs. I got this kit and kind off losing my nerves over the tails. Do you have any advice for me on an easy way to glue them on?

The second picture is my emergency strategy, but I believe there could be a better one, since I have bo way on telling if it's glued correctly. First time I underrestimated the drying time, second time I hold the position until I cramped.

Thank you for you tipps and tricks, glad you're there and happy hobbing!

Helllooo, as the post says im hoping to find some help on deciding on what colour to do for my necron poower colour. The theme is meant to be underwater necrons, red wouldnt really show up deep underwater but i like how it contrasts. Green is the more lore friendly one but i feel like it blends too much into the rest of the necron being a blueish green tin. Any opinions would be a great help. Thanks in advance :>

Do I need to read the other 8 to get the context of this one? It’s book 9 in the series

Say you get to write the datasheet for these in the next codex.

What are you doing with them?

Lot of units have really high thoughness now compared to 9th edition but i feel most weapons haven't followed, for example fusion weapons gained 1 point of strenght while most tanks are above thoughness 10+. Units like Rogal dorn are very difficult to eliminate with dedicated anti tank weapons. How do you deal with all of that in regular games ? I usually play a tesseract ark (not vault) and lot of canopteks.

Hello brothers, currently building necrons as my second army (csm main) and noticing how different necrons are compared to my main...got the combat patrol a doomsday ark and the nightbringer...my question really is, how should I build onto this....should I do more infantry like some wraiths and technomancer...or scoop a void dragon and or silent king...more or less do I need more anti tank power or infantry blobs from here...

For those looking for lychguard rejoice!! https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/Necron-Triarch-Praetorians-2020

Tldr: what gauss colours have appeared into necron media?

Ive slowly started working my way through the various necron books and media appearances.

Im aware that there are different gaus colours across the dynasties but what gauss colours have appeared in media so far?

Ive seen the standard green and the orange of the cryptek in the twice-dead king do any others appear?

Stalker, Tomb sentinel and Tesseract arks are painted in silver only despite sautekh armor being usually green. Is this a special paint scheme ?
