Necrons for the Win! Reinforcements Arrive

Nick speaking,

Seems like I'm still on a Necron kick at the moment. I have decided to get out all the unpainted Necron models I have collected over the last few months and get them ready to add to my army. Most of these are old school metal models, but that's ok as I love the classics!

I am going to need to strip these metal Warriors down and clean them up, but the plan is to use these as Immortals with Tesla, hell I might even buy some more and increase the numbers! I do have one old school Immortal in the box, but I think I might make him an objective marker or something, maybe a good marker for the Relic?

Three more old Destroyers to add to the collection I already have, I was using these as Tomb Blades, but in 8th Edition these will become Destroyers again!

I also have a classic Necron Lord that I can't wait to start working on, plus a few characters and a Tomb Spyder for some conversion work I hope to do...

More to come soon...

Nick speaking,

Time for a big game of 8th Edition! In this 150 power level match up at the request of one of my YouTube subscribers. I get my sixty Flayed Ones on the table. I had a lot of fun playing this game and managed to learn a lot from it. It's going to be tough getting all my Flayed Ones in a 2k point list, but that is the plan from here onwards...

My 13th Company Space Wolves take on his Word Bearers, and once again Ragnar Beermane finds himself in a Challenge, but this time with Primarch Lorgar. Who will win this epic battle?

Saved by Slaanesh! What models do I have for the army?

Nick speaking,

A few years ago, I was given a huge box of Chaos models by one of my very generous YouTube subscribers. On top of that, I have also been fortunate enough to win a few community competitions, including the Chaos half of the Dark Vengeance box set. Loads and loads of Chaos goodness. So, what models do I have for the army? Lets have a little look...

I think there is enough there to make several Chaos armies to be honest! Time to start working on them then. More to come soon...

Nick speaking,

I did a little side project for a buddy of mine, it's the same size scale as the Spitfire I painted a while back. 1:144, so pretty small. I had fun and apparently it's a Revell Messerschmitt Bf109E!
