Aurelian Vox Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Cheers from Ukraine, everyone! I'm a newbie to the hobby (less than a year), so I'm not into gaming or painting yet. However, I'm very much into reading and exploring the lore. I love reading series like the Horus Heresy and the Dark Imperium simultaneously, as it allows to see how it was, what went wrong, how it ended up, and why. At some point, I’ve had enough of the usual “Horus/daddy issues”, “Guilliman/Excel spreadsheets”, or “Commissar Cain the coward” memes and chats (which don’t really capture the depth of the characters), and started looking for a place where people appreciate the versatility and multi-layeredness of the Warhammer universe, and have meaningful and detailed discussions. I now have twelve hardback books read, and another seven are on their way from the UK :) Actively looking at some board games as well. What I know for sure is that when I eventually fall into painting, my first model will be a Necron Overlord — this faction truly fascinates me. Glad to be a part of the community! P.S. I've even started working on a fanfic. With no intention of posting it anytime soon, though, since I’ve still got a ton of books to read to keep it lore-consistent - something I’m very conscious about.

Brother Tyler Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Welcome to the Bolter & Chainsword community! Do you have an idea of the kind of Necron overlord you're most interested in?

Aurelian Vox Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Thanks for the warm welcome, fraters! @Brother Tyler I’m still exploring Necrons overall. What fascinates me most is their vibe: the immortality, the ancient grandeur... For my first model, I’d love to start with an Overlord, since he feels like the perfect beginning for my shelf. Imotekh looks tempting, though! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386559-new-recruit-reporting-in/#findComment-6129126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Magnus Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Welcome to the B&C! While I don’t frequent the xenos sections often, I’m interested to see the perspective you’ll bring to the discussions on the board. It’s been a long long long time (~1988) since I got involved with GW games and I often find engaging and listening to newer players helps keep my hobby enthusiasm going. The necron lords are great models. There are several people in my gaming group who advocate for starting with characters when painting. You’ll find good support in the Forge section when you’re ready to begin painting.

Orange Knight Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Welcome to the forum! Necrons are a brilliant faction, and they have always been well represented on the tabletop - you'll enjoy working on them!
