Cult of the Beetle (Necrons) - oh, and they're for sale.

[dont_panic]

I've got more armies than I'll play with, so the Necrons are going. And they were my first army I EVER PAINTED, awww.....

Won a couple of appearance awards with these... that's saying a lot for Necrons, IMHO. And the crashed Monolith is a long story, but I put it out there after my Monolith gets lascannoned to death thanks to my friend Jason, whose Space Wolves murderized the poor thing top of turn 1 three games in a row.

The army consists of....

1 Monolith (intact)
1 Monolith (crashed)
40 Necron warriors
3 Scarab Swarms (lots of scarabs per base)
8 1/2 Necron Immortals
3 Heavy Destroyers
6 Destroyers (painted)
2 Necron Lords (2 different models)
1 Necron Codex

PM me if you're interested, I'm flexible on price.

Photos of the army. All the models are very shiny metallic silver - I used oil paint - with a blue/purple ink wash over it (fading effect). Very cool looking, but also very hard to capture in photos. The Monolith is covered in gold leaf with a blue/purple sunburst effect on it. If you saw my posts about my other armies (chaos fishmen, and lava space marines), you know I always have to throw something weird in there.

very cool.

and I mean it.

Those....are.....awesome!!!!

The monolith is beautiful, love the starburst effect.

If I had any money, I'd buy it!

But, i don't, and I live quite a long way away from you.....

But Great JOB!!

[Kylewaaagh]

(drooling) GIVE ME THOSE!!! I love how almost everyone starts with either necrons or space marines.
I really wish i had money.

Well, they're both a good choice to start with because they're easy to paint and easy to make an army list that won't get you murderized every game. I figured as a newbie, an army that came back from the dead wasn't all bad.

[Kylewaaagh]

Hahaha, very true! Is the destroyed monolith a scratch-build or did you actually go out and buy a 55 dollar modle fo the sole purpose of hacking it to bits?
And yes, coming back from the dead is a good way to start an army. You're very talented, especially consitering that this is your first army!

hey, ya know what? I bet that necrons are just really space marines without power armor. I mean, really, doing the emperor's bidding constantly has to be a bit stressful. What do space marines to do unwind? take off the power armor, grab a flayer, and go on a blood harvest.

Then why do:

1. SM's bleed
2. SM's dont come back from the dead
3. SM's dont randomly shoot out green energy
4. SM's DO take off their armor and they are human, in the Uriel Ventris sagas, his first mate P-something takes off his armor and gets a knife and carves the aquila into his chest
5. Is the Apothocary needed if they can come back

I could think of more,but not right now.

THose are really good, I have some Tau that I tried to paint....and its........bad..........
lets just say I managed to make a shade of gray that is the exact same shade of the model unpainted.


those are really good!

[gwpainter]

Maybe not Space Marines... But what about Khorne Berzerkers....humm...
They have no Apothocary, look for cool skulls like the ones on necrons, and i would hate to see what those guys look like under their power armour

[Kylewaaagh]

Dont you dare speak disrespectfully of the blood god like that again, you filthy Imperial scumbag!

[sticky_like_cheese]

bue, you have a "filthy imperial scumbag" in your picture... Oh, and just so i can see what you say next, i think the blood god sucks.
'Panic, your painting was even awesome when you had your first army! How the heck do you do it?!

I was born with mad mad skillz....

No, actually, I had been painting figures for D&D for about 6 years before I started with 40k, so lots of practice. =)

[Kylewaaagh]

That would help a ton. You've really got good skills. I mean skillz.

And i'm not in the mood to argue about which is better, khorne or the imperium. I know the truth and it doesnt matter if you do or not, as the blood god will conquer (and decapitate) all.

*Yawn* Servants of the twisted chaos gods, you will...eh...nevermind. We don't need to be around this one again.

[Que Dan]

Hey, look over there, it's the Outsider!

*everyone looks away*

Yoink! *grabs army and runs*

[Veritas]

If you can grab a whole army in one go without damaging any of the models, than you DESERVE to have it. That would take some skill.

By the way, I just landed a job this summer, and I was batting around the idea of buying some models... How much are you offering it for?
