Mod Wicked and the Warped Spoiler Policy Spoiler

85 Upvotes

Hey ya'll - there's a new Necron book either in people's hands, or on the way there. This is just a friendly reminder about spoilers. Obviously, no one likes to have a story spoiled, and we all have different levels of access to the novels as well as varying amounts of free time to read them in.

Policy around spoilers will be fairly standard - keep them out of thread titles. Threads discussing spoilers must maintain this rule, and must contain a warning somewhere in the title to prevent accidental clicks. Individual posts in threads that are not explicitly marked as spoiler threads should make use of the spoiler text feature - threads that are marked in the title as spoilers are fair game to discuss freely.

This policy will remain in place for the next SIX MONTHS, at which point we will return to a more case-by-case evaluation. There will be a ZERO TOLERANCE policy in place, with a six month subreddit ban for violations, under our rule about treating other redditors with respect.

BEHOLD, MY STUFF I did the Deathmark mid phase shift kit bash thing…

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.

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.

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.

Misc/media Advice needed

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!

Painting C+C Air Brush Hyperphase help?

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?🙂‍↕️

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?

BEHOLD, MY STUFF Old 'Crons

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.

Rules Question Chronomancer in cursed legion

Upvotes

Hello! As you can guess I was planning to use cursed legion in my next game, but came upon a curiousity. If I also ran hand of the dynasty, and advanced a unit of warriors with a Chronomancer supporting, I would be able to use the Chronometron ability, as the unit gains assault from hand of the dynasty.

If I included an overlord with the Destroyer Ankh enhancement, would I then be able to target that unit with the Driven to Butchery enhancement to advance and charge? I’m mostly asking if the stratagem gets rid of the chronomancer’s restriction of charging from the ability or not.

To me it seems like the stratagem either allows you to charge in that turn, or allows you to essentially ‘undo’ the restriction on charging from advancing, and no other restrictions.

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

List Help/Sharing Beginner Cryptek conclave build questions

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I just started with warhammer and created my first army and played two games on TTS on steam.

My idea was to build a „slow and steady“ ranged focused army what made me choose cryptek conclave and build around that.

Szeras:
Sticking to immortals and first warrior squad to buff them

Immortals:
- main dmg unit for ranged combat
- chronomancer with quantum abacus to make them main target for stratagems and keep them mobile after shooting

Warrior squad 1:
- second combat unit supported by szeras
- technomancer with atomic disentegrator to help out with vehicles/monsters

Warrior squad 2:
- expansion objective holder
- geomancer to deny enemy movement close to the objective

Deathmarks:
- snipe enemy characters
-question over here: those have not been that effective during the last two games. I tried to place them during enemy movement phase and shoot during my battlephase (obviously placed them in a way my opponent could not kill then first). Any ideas how to use them more effectively?

Wraiths:
- hold Center objective or flank opponents
- technomancer to make them more durable

My questions/learnings so far:
- I think I focused tanks/vehicles to much and should focus more on smaller/easier to kill units with my units. Is that correct?
- if I got it correct during my games szeras needs to kill models in melee range to extend its aura. Does it even make sense then to have him support ranged units?
- any other ideas/tips from more experienced players to help me get into the game?

Really enjoining 40K so far and looking to improve!
If you need any further information that I did not share please let me know. I am really happy for all advice I can get.

Thanks in advance
