Never again...

We picked up a new model for Tanksgiving, my metal version is a tad too small to work. I'll just reply to this thread with any updates.

Hello, I just recently got into Warhammer cuz of a friend. After some games borrowing armies I’m drawn to Necrons. I purchased a small painted lot and have since assembled two models and started painting and I am loving it. Trying to solicit some of the interesting lore or memes so I can somewhat role-play during my next games. Just want to get into the Necron mindset if y’all can help out.

As someone that plays both armies, I’m unsure whether I think Necrons or k sons are a more interesting depiction of ancient Egyptian imagery/themes

I am now at 18/19 models from the combat patrol painted! I had a lot of fun with this overlord and sculpting the flames around his head and the lava being drawn up into his resurrection orb

Only thing I've got left now is the Doomstalker and that will be my first ever box of minis fully painted!

a very cold fervor.

Also, what's the best way to beat Eldar as Necrons? My friend who got me into all this wants to play a game with me against his Eldar army and I think he'd be really impressed if I kicked his ass.

Happy to share it! It’s finally done after many weeks

Thanks for the positive feedback about my warriors last week.

Here are my three Skorpekh Destroyers which were nice to build and very satisfying to paint. Their stat line is really nice too!

(Scheme adapted from Kull92's Straukar but I wanted to make it simpler to help me get through more minis over time.)

First 40k ever, I need help on what citadel colors to high light the brass with. Just dont want to screw up and make the paint so thick it turns into an ebay model haha. Thanks and I'll happily take any advice!

Needs some advice for a Awakened dynasty detachment

Also looking for a better quality picture of this piece if anybody knows if there is one.

Hey guys,

I'm building my first Warhammer army.

What do you think about my army? What can I do better?

The detachment is cursed legion.

What strategies should I use?

I also have the Combat Patrol of the Necrons and Orikan.

I also want to have Nekrosor in it.

Thank you!

Now that the first one is done, time to get through the other four.
