Necron Traveller Battle Report

Nick speaking, After playing my Traveller list against Grey Knights a while back and not getting a chance to see the Traveller in action, I wanted to have another go with the list. I know I really need the Traveller in a Command Barge, and I am working on that at the moment. Until them though, it's a Veil of Darkness Cryptek that has the job of getting him into position. At the very least the game gave me a chance to put down...

How to Magnetise a Trygon, Mawloc and Trygon Prime

Nick speaking, Still working towards my Fritz styled big bug Tyranid list, I know it's coming along slowly, but all good things come to those who wait! Anyway, I had trouble with my first Trygon, in that, I wanted to make it interchangeable, but couldn't work out how to do it! I am pleased to say though, that I did manage to fully magnetise up my second and third Trygons very successfully. When I built my third Trygon, I did...

Is Finecast Fine Now?

Nick speaking, It has now been quite some time since Finecast was launched upon us, and up until recently, I have never actually purchased my first Finecast mini. Now with all the new Necron models coming out, I thought it would be a good time to try it out. It's been long enough that all the teething problems should have been ironed out,...

Next Canoptek Spyder Done

Nick speaking, Like most Necron players using the old Codex, Tomb Spyders weren't a major part of my army ideals. I had a couple, and I did use them now and again, but of course, things are different now. A few weeks ago I found myself a nice cheap second had Spyder in my local hobby store, which I quickly purchased. It had a half decent...

Necron FAQ Query?

Nick speaking, Just a quick query with the new Necron FAQ, which I have to say, overall l am very pleased with. First it says this: Q: Can a Veil of Darkness be used instead of moving onto the board when a unit arrives from reserve? A: Yes.

Necron Spinning Top!

Nick speaking, OK, so i am going to throw this straight at you. I got this green plastic spinning top in my Christmas cracker, it looks just like it could fit into my Necron army somehow!

Green Stuff Scarab Unit Done

Nick speaking, To my surprise, it didn't take me long to knock out fifty green stuff Scarabs with my home made cast. As usual with Necrons, it was even quicker to paint them, and in the end, I only had a couple of rejects. The rejects were still good enough for me to use on a base I made for my next project, re-painting a second hand Tomb...

Green Stuff Scarab Progress

Nick speaking, Continuing on with the progress I have made with my green stuff Scarab project, and I have now made about thirty seven Scarabs. Still plenty to make, but not far away from my first unit of ten bases. I ran out of green stuff, so I have continued the project on with my Gale Force Nine 'grey stuff'. Here is a picture of some...
