W40K: Necrons 'Illuminor Szeras'

I skipped on yesterdays "Weekly Chronicle", but there was not much news to report.  I did manage a game with my Necrons at a full 2000 Points that took us (me) a long time to play as I was still learning all te synergies of my army.

In that game was used this model, 'Illuminor Szeras', he looks great on paper now that we have a lot of Core Units, but he is a bit slow for some of the heavy hitters in the army.  More practice will be needed with this big guy.

W40K: Necrons 'Plasmancer I'

This is another HQ Unit that was included in the Indomitus box last year, his main benefit is buff other Cryptek Units in the army.  When the enemy does get close to him, he can also dish out some Mortal Wounds which will be really nice.

With this model, I have also tied last years "Painting Points" with 218 points, and I still have some more points coming this year.

W40K: Necrons 'Overlord' (Resurrection Orb / Warscythe)

I really wanted this Necron 'Overlord' model with Resurrection Orb and Warscythe that was about to purchase him separately, but I came across a great deal and gift cards that I ended up just getting the Combat Patrol box and this 'Overlord' was included in it.

W40K: Necrons 'Overlord' (Tachylon Arrow / Hyperphase Glaive)

I have been falling behind on my posts for my new Necron army.  Continuing with working on HQ Units, up next is the 'Overlord' that came inside the Indomitus box, he is armed with a Tachylon Arrow and Hyperphase Glaive.

Weekly Chronicle 2021 #47

There was no gaming to be had this week, as I had a few days vacation last week (Thurs/Fri) and wanted to spend the time painting/modeling,  I am happy with my outcome because what I had planned for the weekend, I was able to accomplish, and this is more work on my Necron army.

My model posts are lacking behind what is actually finished (since I try and only post once a day, if that) but my Necron army is way ahead of schedule.  I do know have enough to field 1500 points full painted, and I am really close to 2000 points (and that is without 'The Silent King').

Here is a little sneak peek of the army prior to this past weekend.

I still have plenty more models that are not assembled yet (most of the Combat Patrol Box, The Silent King and Tesseract Vault) and I am thinking about getting the Necron Batleforce box that will be released in Decemeber, so the backlog is plentiful.

I wanted to get enough done for AdeptiCon if I decide to play them in the Warhammer 40,000 Friendly (which I now have), so the rest of the models will be getting done as time allows.

The plan for this coming weekend is to try them out at 1500 Points, and "maybe" at 2000 Points if I can get another Unit completed by Saturday.

W40K: Necrons 'Royal Warden I'

Here is an HQ model that came in the Indomitus box, that actually has some benefits, but may not see the table that often, the 'Royal Warden'.

I am trying to fit him into some lists, but am having  hard time, there are already a lot of really good HQ choices.  He has an ability that allows a CORE unit to Fall Back, Shoot, and Charge again, which can be really beneficial with all the added CORE keyword updates the Necrons received recently.

W40K: Necrons 'Skorpekh Lord I'

In order to have a legal army, I need to have some HQ choices, so it is time to move onto some of those.

First up is the 'Skorpekh Lord' who will be going into battle to help out his Units of 'Skorpekh Destroyers'.

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 II'

Now completed is the second Unit of 'Skorpekh Destroyers'.  As I mentioned the other day, these models can run in a Unit from 1-6 models, so having 6 of these models allows some options for my army.
