W40K: Necrons 'Triarch Praetorians I'

I have one more Unit to post before I move onto my HQ Units, and that is this Fast Attack Unit, the 'Triarch Praetorians'.  With the "Rod of Covenant" in hand, these guys are deadly in Shooting and Melee.  On the plus side, with the recent update to Warhammer 40,000, this Unit is now considered Core.

Weekly Chronicle 2021 #46

Now that I am in full Necron mode, it has been a pretty good week painting.  My goal was to have 1500 Points of Necrons finished in time for AdeptiCon 2022 in March, and it is looking like those will be completed by the end of this month.

I am alright with that, it will then leave 2022 to painting other Units for the Necrons that will like to eventually try and allow some time to paint for other armies.  I was able to complete 3 'Lokhust Destroyers' and 2 Units of 'Skorpekh Destroyers'.

Gaming has been a little low this year, where this past Saturday I only played my 25th game of Warhammer 40,000 for the year.  I did hit my goal for the year, but honestly thought I would have far exceeded it, but do we do have a few more weeks left in the year.

We played  2000 Point Las Vegas Friendly practice game and I got a first look at the army I am thinking of bringing.  It is well themed with Bolt(ers) but that may also be the downside, not much fire power I am used to in my games.  Because my son was not fully painted, the end result was much closer, 65-69, I lost.

I only have 1 weapon that is a S7 on my 'Predator Destructor' and it was taken out early in the game, after that, the strongest weapon I have are S5 Heavy Bolters.  I know LVO is a Friendly and more geared towards theme, but I feel naked without my fire power....oh well, hopefully we'll score high on theme.

W40K: Necrons 'Skorpekh Destroyers I'

Now that my big guns are done for my Necrons, it is time to move onto to some melee Units for the army.

I have two Units of 3 'Skorpekh Destroyers' that I can run as one big Unit of 6, or two smaller Units of 3, I like having the option of playing them anywhere from 3-6 models.

These guys are bad arse in melee and having a 'Canoptek Plasmacyte' next to them makes them even badder.

W40K: Necrons 'Lokhust Heavy Destroyer III'

This the last of my 'Lokhust Heavy Destroyers' for now, filling out three models armed with Gauss Destructors.  If in the future I add more of these models, I think those will be armed with the Enmitic Exterminators which will provide me with more shots, but the Strength and AP are not as good.

W40K: Necrons 'Lokhust Heavy Destroyer II'

As mentioned yesterday, I am working on a Unit of 3 'Lokhust Heavy Destroyers', and today is 'Lokhust Heavy Destroyer II'.

This Necron army is really coming along much faster than I had anticipated, at this rate the core of the army will be completed this year and not next year like I had thought.

W40K: Necrons 'Lokhust Heavy Destroyer I'

This week will be all about adding some Heavy firepower to my Necrons army.  Having a lot of foot slogging Infantry is great, but I need some big guns to take down some enemy Vehicles.

I have 3 'Lokhust Heavy Destroyers' that I am working on, and each gun is a Strength 10 and dish out from 3-9 Damage each.  I can run them from anywhere between 1-3 models in the Unit, but there is a Stratagem that allows re-rolls to Wound, so it would be best to run them as 1 Unit.

All 3 will be identically painted, and here is the first one.

Weekly Chronicle 2021 #45

The first week of November is now completed, and it was actually a pretty good week for me.  I have been full throttle with painting my Necrons army, and I do not think that reaching 1500 Points completed by AdeptiCon 2022 will be a problem.

The rest of this month will still be dedicated to the Necrons.  I still have 20x 'Necron Warriors' that need to be painted, but I have a couple of vacation days next week that I will commit to that Unit.  Once that Unit is completed, then all my Troop choices will be completed.  The rest of this week I am painting a variety of Units for the army.

Then this past Saturday we also played a 1000 Point game and I tested the Necron force and they prevailed in victory.  I still have a lot to learn to with this army, but so far they have been fun to play with,

W40K: Necron Reinforcements

Originally I added just a few additional Units to my Necrons army from the models that came with the Indomitus box, but now I am pretty committed to them for 2022.

I added the 'Tesseract Vault' to bump me from 1000 Points to 1500 Points, but then a local gaming store to us was having a 25% off sale last weekend and they happened to have 'The Silent King', at that kind of discount and helping a local store, it was a no brainer.  Then the other day I received a $50 credit for Amazon, and why not, let's add the 'Combat Patrol' box, I was needing the 'Overlord' from that box anyways.

I am sure there will be more purchased for them, but this is plenty of models to keep me busy trough the Winter months.

W40K: Necrons 'Immortals II'

My second Unit of Troops for my Necrons army, and it is another Unit of 'Immortals', and the last of that particular Unit for now.  The next Troop Units will be 'Necron Warriors', but it will be a little bit before I get around to painting 20 of them.
