Necron Acanthrites

I really like these models.  Mine are slightly miscast which I didn't notice until I was already half way done painting them.  So I just carried on.  I dont really think they are that good on the table but I love the way they. I like running them with my destroyer lord so that he doesn't get scared and run away like usual.

Necron Destroyer Lord

I'm personally not a big fan of the destroyer models, they are old and outdated but I had this guy so I figured I might as well paint him.  I'd rather do a conversion using a wraith or something for the destroyer lord but this will work for now.

Necron Tomb Stalker

Finished the Tomb Stalker.  What a pain this model was to assemble, especially trying to get the legs to look right crawling over some rubble.  The base still needs to be painted but I will probably do that with an airbrush at a later date.

Necron Tesseract Ark completed

Finally got this model finished up after a brief distraction called Shadowrun Returns.  Now Space Hulk is out.  I'm trying to resist it so I can keep plugging away at the necrons.

I still need to make a stand for it, just not sure how I'm going to do it yet.

Necron Tomb Stalker assembly in progress

I wanted to do something for the base of the Tomb Stalker but didn't have any old tau or space marine land speeder to use so I just opted for a base where the Tomb Stalker is scurrying over a ruined wall.  A great feature of this base is that I can always claim a cover save!  Just kidding of course.

Necron Tesseract Ark - painting in progress

I've found that its much easier to paint the necrons before they are fully assembled so that's what I'm doing here.  I put as much of it together as I can with respect to which pieces will be which colours.  Then I get them painted and then do final assembly.  Its a good way to keep myself motivated to finish them so I can actually use the models. :)

Necron Cryptek Conversions

Here are two Crypteks I converted up.
The one with the staff with the 3 orbs I generally use as a Harbinger of the Storm and the other as a Harbinger of Destruction.

Necron Overlord and lords

Here is the generic overlord with a warscythe; which needs to be heated and straightened out.  2 lords also with warscythes and orbs.

Necron Annihilation Barge

1 of 3.  #2 is halfway done. #3 is still in a sealed box.  It was given to me so I really didn't plan on running 3 of them, seems sort of cheesy since they are so good and so cheap.

Necro Triarch Stalker

Here's the first of 2 Triarch Stalkers.  Second one is about half done.

Necron Tomb Blades

Here are the two units of Necron Tomb Blades

Unit 1:






Unit 2:

I've been painting Necrons!

I need a change of pace and had decided to build up a small Necron army.  Just something different to paint and use.  Nothing fancy just a quick paint job and a small army.  Well, the army has of course grown out of control and I now have a little over 3000 points with plans to add the new Tesseract Vault and make it a fully fledged apoc army.  Oh well, I am enjoying the painting and love the models.

So far the army consists of:
2 overlords
3 lords
2 crypteks
1 destroyer lord
40 immortals
2 triarch staklers
5 lychguard
10 tomb blades
10 scarabs
3 annihilation barges
1 doom scythe
3 acanthrites (FW)
1 tomb stalker (FW)
1 tesseract ark (FW)



Plan to add:
1 tesseract vault
1 night shroud bomber (FW)
1-2 sentry pylons (FW) depending on cost


I'm probably about half way done with the painting.  I dont plan to paint anything else until the necrons are full painted, so hopefully I stop adding stuff soon...
