AHAAAAA!!! Hobby progression! The inexorable wheels of burden brought on by disposabal funds and the depressive death stare of a thousand plastic robots held back by hope.
Thats right! I painted some more. :)
Specifically, after breaking off trying to paint a whole force of them in layers, I focused on the first 10 to completion. Sadly without one of the old ones for reference, the new 20 seem too "clean" though their colours are still aligned with the rest of the army. Thankfully the change in style doesnt jar. Though the red jaw bones worried me until the end.

| 1000pts line up. Later killed. More soon. |
In a recent game day, which I will be posting about soon, the Mephrit Dynasty FOC proved to be too specialized in troops to win a small 1000pt game. After being liberally coated in Dark Eldar Neurotoxin missiles (Thanks Obama), they were cut apart by selective and focused attacks.
Bluntly put, they simply don't have the tools to deal with so many different forms of attack. This army may have well done me justice in 5th edition, but the fantastic re-rolling of 1's in reanimation just doesn't justify the loss of variety and the loss of objective taking super troops in the normal Combined Operations FOC (Edit: Combined Forces?). Nor can one really take advantage of the Solar Thermowhatsit. Which is surely broken. Surely... We will see!
Last night, I was burning the midnight oil to quick finish the Scarab Bases. Lacking in certain colours like the greys for weapons or even a dark red spot colour, I figured I could have them done quickly. Unfortunately, some of the more characterful bases demanded that extra special touch.
Let it be said, I paint to finish, not to win awards!!
Hope you like the blood! :D Anyway, thats 11 Scarab bases added to the Dynasty.
After a little count up, I worked out that by the Apoc game in 2 weeks, I should have enough painted (in theory) to field just under 6000pts work of Necrons, including some Lords of War...
Ironically after this the raising continues, as there are many figures yet to finish in my mound of plastic hell!! Plus, this is being released the same weekend as the Apoc game...
!!!
Regardless, to be ready for the Apoc game, I have yet to finish 10 primed Necron Warriors and something... else. See below.
In other news, my centre piece to the Army, which was orignally the lazer cut Pylon by lazercutcard.com, is going to be something special... Here is a hint, bought as parts by Rothand Studios. Combine this with a certain Tomb Kings kit and... well you will see, hopefully soon!
