W40K: Necrons 'Immortals I'

It is time to start moving onto some Troop choices for my Necrons army.  The Indomitus box did come with 20 'Necron Warriors' and I will eventually be getting to those also, but I had also purchased two boxes of 'Immortals' and will be starting with those Units first.

I elected to models these with the longer range Gauss Blasters which also have a better AP than the shorter range Tesla Carbines.

This was also the first of the models painted so far where I got to see how my 'red' scheme looks on the guns.

W40K: Necrons 'Canoptek Reanimator I'

Moving right along with the Necrons, currently I am "way" ahead of schedule on painting this army, and that is a good thing.

Another model that came in the Indomitus box is the 'Canoptek Reanimator'.  It is another Unit in the Elite spot (which there are a lot of with Necrons) and a current cost of 80 Points.  His weapon is very short ranged, but the model does help other Units with their Reanimation Protocols.

Weekly Chronicle 2021 #44 Welcome November

My final Painting Quarter is shaping up to be a good one, what a month I had in October with finishing up some of my Imperial Fists Units, and then starting on a brand new Necron army.

My goal with the Necron army is to have 1500 Points ready for the AdeptiCon Friendly at the end of March, well at the pace I am currently going, it should not be a problem.  The painting scheme I came up with for my Necrons is coming out pretty quickly, yet looks really good on the table top.

I honestly do not know how well that 1500 Point list will play, but it is a Friendly and I am not too worried about it.  I am working on some 2000 Points lists that "should" be a bit stronger with digging into the 'Vault' for some Mortal Wounds, but we must stay 'Silent' about that list.

This week here on the blog will be more Necrons as I continue working on them.

W40K: Necrons 'Cryptothralls I'

I am just continuing on with models from the Idomitus box for my Necrons and making sure that I like the color scheme for them.  So far I have to say that I am happy with how they coming up.

Next up is one of many Elite Units that the Necrons have, 'Cryptothralls'.

W40K: Necrons 'Canoptek Scarab Swarms II'

I had another unit of 3 'Canoptek Scarab Swarms' that came in the Indomitus box that also needed to be completed for my 1500 Points list.

The Swarms can be run in a Unit of 3-9, so now I currently have 6 in total and can run them as 1 Unit or 2 separate Units.  The Swarms come in boxes along with Necron Warriors, so if I ever add any more Necron Warriors, then I will also be painting up some more Swarms.

W40K: Necrons 'Canoptek Scarab Swarms I'

The Necrons have officially hit the painting table, actually a little bit sooner than I had originally expected, but I was anxious to get started on them.

In case you did not read it earlier in the week, when we purchased 9th Edition Warhammer 40,000 Indomitus, we were left with one half of a Necron army, well at the Michigan GT a few weeks back, I played against a Necron army and thought they were pretty cool, so before leaving I picked up the new Codex and Datacards, and then me being me when we got home, ordered enough models for a 1500 Point list.

I am all for playing with painted armies as much as possible, and I am just fine with table top quality models, so in order to get the Necrons completed in a reasonable time, I had to come up with a painting scheme that would not take too long, yet looks cool to me, I think I did that with this army with a darker metal and some highlights along with red mixed in for weapons and other areas.

This is also the first time in a long time that I strayed away from my normal standard of painting my bases to match all my armies and with the urban concrete look for the Necrons (and I do like how they came out).

Well without further adieu, the first Unit completed for my Necrons is a 'Canoptek Scarab Swarms'.

W40K: Imperial Fists 'Heavy Intercessors I'

As I wrote in Mondays "Weekly Chronicle", I am still wrapping up a few units that I want to use in the Las Vegas Open 2022 Warhammer 40,000 Friendly event.

I can now technically call myself done (barring the Forge World model also mentioned, but still undecided on that one).

The 'Heavy Intercessors' are a new Troop choice in Warhammer 40,000 for the Space Marines, and when building them, you get a choice of three different bolt weapons to choose from.

I elected to army my first squad of 'Heavy Intercessors' with the "Executor Bolt Rifle / Executor Heavy Bolter".  This weapon has less shots, but the shots are more powerful with a stronger AP, greater damage and longer range.  The plan with this Squad is to be back with my 'Intercessor Stalkers' and taking advantage of my 'Primaris Chapter Master'.
