W40K: Necrons Battleforce 'Worldscour Legion''

For a few years now, Games Workshop has been releasing Battleforce boxes around the Holiday times, and this year was no different.

With just starting a new army, I was very interested in seeing what was coming out.  Well low and behold, one of the boxes were for Necrons.  The "Worldscour Legion" battleforce actually has most of the models that I still need for the Necrons (minus the Warriors, but I do actually still need more of those).  So of course I placed an order for box, and my battleforce arrived yesterday.




The "Worldscour Legion" battleforce comes with the following models:

  • Psychomancer
  • 10 Necron Warriors with 3 Scarab Swarms
  • Lokhust Heavy Destroyer
  • 3 Ophydian Destroyers
  • 5 Flayed Ones,
  • 2 Canoptek Doomstalkers
Now with this box and what I still have for the Necrons, I have quite a bit to keep me busy in 2022.  Of course I did have to open the box and start building a few models.

Weekly Chronicle 2021 #50 (Battle Foam Arrived)

Each year during Black Friday, Battle Foam puts on a huge sale for their products (foam trays / bags) and with starting a new Necron army in October, I thought it would be a perfect time to take advantage of their sale and find a home for the Necrons.

I have to admit, Battle Foam is not cheap, but they are really good and lately I have been using foam / bags from Games Plus.  The problem with my Necron army, I have some very large models for them (Tesseract Vault, Silent King) and the larger trays and custom cut outs from Battle Foam will be easier to store them.

Now that I am going with Battle Foam foam, I need something to carry the foam.  I currently own a few smaller bags from Battle Foam, but that will not be enough to carry all the Necrons, so I add 3 bags to my order, a really big one, medium one and a smaller one, to give me options on how I want to carry my army.

Well this past Friday my order arrived,  I was really shocked it came this fast, when placing the order, it said 8-10 weeks to arrive (I do miss the days of living in Gilbert, AZ and just driving to their location for pick ups).

So after a 1000 Point game on Saturday in which my Necrons squeaked out a victory, it was time to place my models into their foam trays.  I did purchase some trays that will cover future models, and I "should" be good on foam for the next year... I hope.

W40K: Necrons 'Technomancer I'

I am finally catching up my posts with my finished Necron models, and as of now I am done to the last 2 models, and I call these guys my "Techno Twins".

I want to try a list that runs 2 'Technomancers' so multiple Units can benefit from their abilities, so while I was down in South Bend not long ago I went into our LGS and he had 2 of them and I purchased them.  I did not think I would have them done this week, but I managed to finish them.

Here is 'Technomancer I'

W40K: Necrons 'Deathmarks I'

In my recent purchases of my Necron army, one of the purchases was the Combat Patrol box because I was interested in the 'Overlord' that was included.

I finally got around to some of the other models that were included.  The Combat Patrol box has the ability to model 10 'Immortals' or 10 'Deathmarks', or the combination of both.  Since I already have 10 'Immortals' completed, I elected to build 5 as 'Deathmarks' and see how they do before I decide on the next 5.

The 'Deathmarks' are suppose to be a sniper type Unit for the Necrons, similar to what the 'Eliminators' are to the Space Marines, but stat wise are not as good.  Also since the 'Deathmarks' are an Elite choice and 'Immortals' are Troops, I think in the long run it may be better to have another Troop choice.

W40K: Necrons 'Canoptek Wraiths I'

Up next is another Fast Attack Unit that recently have gotten better with the updated CORE keyword, and that is the 'Canoptek Wraiths'.

For now I only have 3 of these models, but I look to add another 3 sometime in 2022.  These guys can Move 12", then they can Fall Back ad Charge again so that way they can be fighting first.

W40K: Necrons 'Tomb Sentinel I'

Back in October at the Michigan GT 40,000 Friendly, I played against a Necron army (which is what really got me started with this army) and my opponent was playing a 'Tomb Sentinel' from Forgeworld (a division of Games Workshop).

I really liked the look of this model, a gigantic robotic centipede model and thought it would be a cool model to have for my army, plus I do like having Forgeworld models in my army.  When this model came in and I opened the box, I knew it would not be fun to build, but I managed through it and then painted it.  Instead of having just a few leg tips glued to the base and breaking off, I decided to magnetize the model to the base instead with an extra Magnet Baron kit that I had.

Daily Chronicle: Cruisehammer 2022 August 7th-14th

Last week I came across an event that I never knew had existed, the Cruisehammer event has been going on since 2016, but the last few years it has been cancelled due to COVID.

So what is Cruisehammer 2022?

"For those unfamiliar, Cruisehammer is a week-long adventure where you join us for either a Warhammer 40,000 tournament or Age of Sigmar tournament on a cruise. In 2022, we will be cruising throughout the Caribbean! Cruisehammer 2022 is booked from Aug 7th to Aug 14th leaving from Galveston, TX."

Usually in the Fall time my son and I try to hit up the Events, NOVA Open, Michigan GT, Renegade Open, but Cruisehammer 2022 is going to have to replace those events this year (except for the Michigan GT since it is so close).

Once I found out about the event, I asked my son if he was interested, yes he was.... check... now I had to run it by the wife and make sure it was okay with her (my wife loves cruises and she is going on one next month so I knew she would not ask to come along, plus vacation days are tight for her), the wife said yes... check... now I had to fill out the registration form and get our deposits paid... check... my son and I are confirmed for Cruisehammer 2022.

For more information about Cruisehammer 2022, schedule / pricing/ registration, you can visit their page, www.cruisehammer.org




W40K: Necrons 'Warriors I'

It is finally time to get to some of the 'Necron Warriors' in the army.  The Indomitus box came with 20 of these models and I built them with Gauss Flayers for the 24" range.  I think the time I purchase more 'Warriors', they will be built with Gauss Reapers for the added Strength.

Here if the first 10 'Necron Warriors'
