The Court of the Traizio. The Thrice Betrayed.

And here we are again with the latest smatterings of ancient evil death machines since before your time!!!

First we have two new Necron Lords.

Used as a count as Obyron, or a normal Necron Lord, this guy represents Behat-zalia the Sentinel.  Bearing the helm of Cult of the Old Gods, he is the bodyguard of the Phaeron himself.  However as the House of Traizio await his return, Behat finds service with the lower Nemeser.

 Next we have a standard Necron Lord based off the modified body of Azrak the Traveler.  Loved the armored skirt on this guy, though I couldn't bring myself to using the Tacyhon Arrow. 
Here he represents Pent-Salario, the Thinker.  Philosopher of the House, he provided wise council to the Phaeron before the end.  He alone remembers everything that happened in those last days, every broken promise, every betrayal.  He alone keeps his tongue until the day the Phaeron returns, lest more vengeful minds become impatient for revenge.


Next up is the three objective markers, finally finished!

 The third marker is infact the "Monolith" kit from "http://www.lasercutcard.co.za/cyborg-monolith". This thing was a pleasure to nail together, really easy and well designed as to be really damn sturdy.  So long as you don't go trying to glue it together with PVA, everything goes well.

Strangely, the application of the usual Bone coloured spray paint by Army Painted kicked up a happy accident:  The surfaces became concrete like in texture.  A fact I was sure to take advantage of when painting.  Polyfiller (Wall filler) was used to build up the sides around the base.  I wanted to give the impression that it was literally springing from the ground.

 It also opens up (thanks to NOT gluing the lid on :) ) so that I can hide dice in there and those Cyborg Tokens that I will be using as alternative objectives (differing points values on the back work well in Warhammer 40,000).

Figure shown for scale purposes, and because it looks cool!!

 The Monolith also came with an alternative top to contain a wonderful crystal array which can easily represent an alternative Quad Gun or Icarus Lascannon.  There's even a larger version I may be getting to represent a Necron Pylon.  Muhahaha.

And next we have the Over Lord.  Hautsi, the Broken.  Nemesor of the Phaeron of the Cult of the Old Gods.  He is the current commander of the Dynasty's shattered forces.  To him falls the responsibility of reclaiming what was once lost and to enacting the will of his absent master, the one only remembered as the King of Bones, the master of the old religion.  Bellicose and more interested in oblivion by ritual combat, only the Court has so far kept his self destructive urges in check.

And this beastie, taken shamelessly from the Tomb Kings range (with a few alterations to explain the Jump Infantry ability), is used as a Destroyer Lord with Warscythe etc.

Soilik Arma, once Nemesor alongside Hautsi, has fallen from grace.  Infected with the Destroyer Virus, he fell back upon the Old Religion for guidance.  Altering his reanimation protocols to modify his form, he has become an aspect of Death Striking.  Believing himself to be nothing more than a weapon, he relinquished his seniority to Hautsi and dedicated himself to the perfection of Oblivion in the form a God's wrath manifest.  Using repurposed Triarch propulsion packs, he makes great leaps as he engages the foe.  Preferring the company of Triarchs and their close up methods.

Finally, I'm finishing off these Cyborg tokens as mentioned above.  Once these are done?  I'm knocking together the Cyborg Barricades.

The background is really coming together after reading some up on the Ctan and the updated canon on the Necrons.  I did note the brief mention of the religions of the Necrontyr and how they evolved. Exceptions to this indicate a focus on the God of Death in many forms, and a brief foray into worshiping the Ctan themselves.  Requiring a church of sorts means that someone had to manage the flock so to speak.  In comes House Traizio. 

Responsible for the religious worship of the Necrontyr, they enjoyed a neutral position during both Secession wars.  When the Ctan came, they were the first to bow to them, regarding them as Gods made by their hands.  But when bio transference occurred, they were also amongst the first to know something horrible had occurred.  The Silent King himself worked with the Phaeron of this once great house to deceive and spy on their would be Gods to find ways and means to bring them down.

House Traizio were amongst the higher conspirators and thanks to their intimate knowledge of the Ctan and their nature, were instrumental in the weapons of war that shattered them and in at least one case, destroyed them entirely.  Then, the Silent Kind betrayed them, reducing them and scattering their once great armies. 

Why the Silent King did so, and why he had not destroyed them in favour of forcing them to sleep is unknown.  Maybe they were due for reprogramming, their armies and weapons too valuable to simply destroy.  Maybe their destiny has yet to be discovered or may they have none at all?  The ultimate unknown entity. 

What is known, is the House Traizio, thrice betrayed, servants of the Old Religion have awoken.
And their Master is missing...
