Kaldoth Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Hey all! So, I've finally made it overseas for an all expenses paid, 9 month long vacation courtesy of Uncle Sam. I decided before I left that I'd finally get my Necron army built and painted once I got over here. Up until now I've had to use a friend's army and proxy units to get my games in, but no longer! So, without further ado, I present to you the list: Necrons 2000 pts Outrider Detachment - Sautekh HQ: Cryptek - 85 Canoptek Cloak Staff of Light Fast Attack: 1 Canoptek Tomb Sentinel - 150 Gloom Prism 1 Canoptek Tomb Sentinel - 150 Gloom Prism 1 Canoptek Tomb Sentinel - 150 Gloom Prism Battalion Detachment - Nephrekh Overlord - 104 Voidscythe Overlord - 104 Voidscythe Elites: 1 Triarch Stalker - 115 Particle Shredder 1 Triarch Stalker - 115 Particle Shredder Troops: 10 Immortals - 150 Tesla Carbines 10 Immortals - 150 Tesla Carbines 10 Immortals - 150 Tesla Carbines Outrider Detachment - Nephrek HQ: Cryptek - 95 (Warlord - Thrall of the Silent King) Chronometron The Solar Staff Fast Attack: 9 Tomb Blades - 297 Gauss Blasters Shieldvanes Nebuloscopes 7 Canoptek Scarabs - 91 7 Canoptek Scarabs - 91 Total: 1997 I'm really looking forward to getting cracking on all these units. I feel like I've got a decent spread of stuff to dig into, and all three tomb sentinels will be converted so I've got plenty of work to do! So, I managed to get started on the first unit today: Overlord Yn'tascha, the Golden Widow. The background for my army is the Farsight Enclaves attempted to settle a world home to a long abandoned Imperial mining colony. As they ventured into the tunnels below, they found a mostly dormant tomb. Upon entering, the tomb awoke as well as the Dolmen gate housed within, and out came the forces of the Golden Widow. So without further ado, the lady herself built and primed: Unfortunately I'm waiting on all of my gold paint to come in a care package :rolleyes: But, I did manage to get her base finished! Complete with lots of dirty blue space commie skulls ^_^ I'm particularly proud of how the lava effect turned out considering it was my first attempt :D I'll be starting in her silver bits later on this afternoon. After that it's a waiting game for the gold paint to come in the mail as well as some gloss varnish for the crystals. Cheers! -Kal Edited November 2, 2019 by Kaldoth NTaW, XIXWYRMEXIX and Tyriks 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359627-kaldoths-nephrekh-plog/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 That base looks great. I'm excited to see the rest! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359627-kaldoths-nephrekh-plog/#findComment-5418589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechType Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I really like your concept here - spidercrons sounds like a nightmare to face, fluffwise! I hope your paint gets to you soon so we can see how she looks painted. Your conversion definitively looks good.

Kaldoth Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 I really like your concept here - spidercrons sounds like a nightmare to face, fluffwise! I hope your paint gets to you soon so we can see how she looks painted. Your conversion definitively looks good. It's actually not a conversion! It's a miniature from Wargames Exclusive. They sell female necron models and upgrade kits for necron warriors. Personally I think the rest of them look silly, but this sculpt looked amazing to me. It was definitely one of those "babe, you know how much I love you right" "You bought another model, didn't you" moments :lol: They do have some really cool sculpts besides their female necrons if you want to check then out: https://wargameexclusive.com/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359627-kaldoths-nephrekh-plog/#findComment-5419157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolgrim DeathHowl Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 That base is amazing looking, the model is cool too but I really love the base so far!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Excellent work on the base. Are those Tau skulls, or those of the long-extinct Necrontyr?

Kaldoth Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Alright, over a month later and I've finally been able to pick my brushes back up. Unfortunately a day before my gold paint showed up, someone decided to drop off a bunch of crap on my desk and managed to crush her flat in the process. All of legs were broken irreparably, so I had to order a whole new one and wait for it to come in from the Ukraine. But, she came in today and I wasted no time getting her built, primed, and putting some paint on! I based and shaded the legs separately this time and then glued them to the base for ease of positioning. Still nowhere near done, but at least she's started ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359627-kaldoths-nephrekh-plog/#findComment-5440075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaldoth Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) One more update for the night. Got the gold almost finished. Pictures are definitely washed out with light but I can't exactly take decent photos with this bare bones setup I'm running >_< Tomorrow I'll finish up the silver and red parts, then probably get started on her head and staff.

Tyriks Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 That sucks about the first one, but good work on the replacement! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359627-kaldoths-nephrekh-plog/#findComment-5440312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaldoth Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) So, not as much progress today as I would have liked, but progress nonetheless! Her body and legs are complete ^_^ Just didn't have time to start on the head or arms, but I should tomorrow. I'm wondering if I should fill in the design going down each of the legs with red as well, or if it would be too much. Thoughts?

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I think it would look really neat, and help the detail pop. Maybe you could find a red wash somewhere, that might do the trick to get it into the cracks.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 The Necron Lord looks so metallic. You're a skilled painter.

Kaldoth Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 More progress! Filled in the legs and other small details. Didn't have much time today to do anything once again, but my weekend starts tomorrow. I also got started on her weapon. Just the base colors got out down so I did t bother snapping a photo.

NTaW Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Adding red to the legs was a solid choice. I look forward to seeing her finished! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359627-kaldoths-nephrekh-plog/#findComment-5441911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 That’s not what I was expecting for the red on the legs but that looks very nice! Can’t wait to see her finished!

Dread Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Like that model and the colors you are using look great. I need to get back to mine but my sisters and chaos have front seat right now.

Kaldoth Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Finally, after entirely too long spent away from the hobby desk I managed to finish her out :D As always, sorry for the image quality: Overall she was a challenge to paint, though mostly because the legs are so fragile and she doesn't have a lot of surface area on her feet to glue to the base. I don't know how many times she popped off of it while I was painting. Definitely more than enough. Overall a fun sculpt though ^_^ Next up, Triarch Stalker!

Kaldoth Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) So I finally got the Triarch Stalker built up. Super fun kit to put together. It's a bit windy right now so I've gotta wait til later to put some primer on it. I'm hoping to get the initial base coat and shading on the gold done today. Should have some pictures up later tonight. In the meantime, I went back through my list and adjusted the points on everything as I hadn't had the chance to do so since CA 2019 dropped. I wound up with a pretty inconvenient amount of points left over; not quite enough for a full unit of anything that would be really useful, but too many to be able to just take a few upgrades and fill the points back up. So, after a couple hours of tweaking this is what I came up with: Outrider Detachment - Sautekh HQ: Destroyer Lord - 115 (Warlord- Hyperlogical Strategist) Staff of Light Phylactery Fast Attack: 1 Canoptek Tomb Sentinel - 135 Gloom Prism 1 Canoptek Tomb Sentinel - 135 Gloom Prism 1 Canoptek Tomb Sentinel - 135 Gloom Prism Heavy Support: 3 Heavy Destroyers - 111 Heavy Gauss Cannons 631 Battalion Detachment - Nephrekh Overlord - 79 Warscythe Overlord - 92 Voidblade Resurrection Orb Elites: 1 Triarch Stalker - 115 Heat Ray 1 Triarch Stalker - 115 Heat Ray Troops: 10 Immortals - 150 Tesla Carbines 10 Immortals - 150 Tesla Carbines 10 Immortals - 150 Tesla Carbines 851 Outrider Detachment - Nephrek HQ: Cryptek -95 (Warlord - Thrall of the Silent King) Chronometron Staff of Light Fast Attack: 6 Canoptek Wraiths - 240 7 Canoptek Scarabs - 91 7 Canoptek Scarabs - 91 517 Total: 1999 I figured what I was lacking in was turn one anti tank, and with heavy destroyers being fairly cheap now they seemed to fit the bill. Dropped a Cryptek for a Destroyer lord to babysit the Heavy Destroyers. I don't feel like burning a CP on Extermination Protocols would be a wise investment for three shots per turn so at least this way they're rerolling ones. I dropped the Tomb Blades in favor of Wraiths to shave a few points. I'm not sure how much I actually like that decision. I'm also unsure as to whether I'd like to keep the two squads of scarabs or drop them in favor of The Deceiver. On one hand the scarabs are handy for tying stuff up and screeninng, but on the other The Deceiver offers a lot of offensive power. Thoughts?
