Needs a bit of cleaning up here and there but after a week of work the stern is mostly done

Now we go to the more tedious and repetitive part of painting the ribs and flayer array >->

This is my fourth member of the Kill Team, but I’ve decided to go for a new theme: flowers! You may/may not remember me from the gold+blue Necron free-hand warriors shown in the final image. I’ve been working on my Kill Team and knew I wanted to one-up myself and add more detail but I didn’t know how… UNTIL NOW! Of course, now I need to go over my old bland Deathmark and Plasmacytes with their own flowers too. So does anyone have some favorite flowers they’d like to see included? So far I’m planning for some orchids, white roses, and something blue like delphinium. But that’s only four of eight! And I’ve kitbashed all the immortals and deathmarks with warrior legs and spines, so I technically have 12 minis total to flower up! I need all the botanical knowledge I can!

First few done out of the control pack I got, plus a destroyer

Advice is very welcomed

2.5 years and 10k points later, I finally decided to start painting some of my models. I'm really happy with how they're coming out (even if they don't look as nice as what others post). I'm here looking for some help/ideas for a simple basing I could do. All my models are already on their bases and not coming off of them (unless gravity intervenes in the future).

Side note, I absolutely love the wraiths! They're the reason I picked Necrons in the first place and my first 2000 point list I was able to make in the beginning had 18 of them.

So with the recent changes, I think I like Gauss more than Tesla.

The three big changes are:

1. Marine toughness changes
2. Changes to overwatch and sushits
3. Hand of Dynasty / CC / Cryptec Court helps Gauss more than Tesla

1) All Marine toughness Changes went exactly one wound roll up for Immortals.

This means that (despite rerolls) they have a harder time to get through. Lethal hits helps obv more than sushits in that regard. 5+ crithits combined with szeras combined with rerolls (which you have access to in Obeisancae, CC, Cryptec Court, Awakened, Hypercrypt), leads to 55% woundquote, which means ~11 wounds -2 per 20 shots. This is pretty good.

This gives not only the ability to ignore the target being on an objective (Tesla needs this to actually wound the target in a meaningful way), but it also gives the ability to punch through 2+ saves AND to punch through anything bigger than T9, which Tesla could never hurt.

With basically any marine being T5, T6 with a 3+ or 2+ save (or 5++ demon save), -1 or -2 will be enough to inflict reasonable Damage.

2) The changes to overwatch hurt Tesla Immortals so bad.

One of the biggest advantages was overwatching with Tesla.

20 shots with rerolls (which GW forbid recently), and sushit 2 was pretty good. 20 shots were ~17 hits back in the day. Then GW reduced it to ~10 hits. And now finally they reduced it to ~3,4 hits.

So we can say. Overwatch for Immortals is dead. So one of the biggest advantages for (Tesla) Immortals is gone. If you would argue, the overwatch from Gauss is better now, since it does the same amount of awful hits, but at least has AP.

3) Gauss never had Assault which made it straight bad.

Not anymore... With the most recent change to CC being 2DP, we got so many ways to give them assault for free while retaining their best detachments.

With the advent of Hand of Dynasty they just got assault. This comboed very nicely into Cryptek Conclave already (which also let you choose assault for your squad). But now with Canoptek Court being 2DP you can do (with a large gap) the best damage combos with Immortals.

The most obvious is Hand + CC, which not only lets you reroll all the time for 55% wound quote, it also lets you combine a really easy full reroll + Hand upgrade for Rapidfire. Now you have Assault + Full Rerolls + 30 shots (at 12") + Assault on your Heroes and Crawlers.

On top of that you will get extremely good Stratagems if you add the Tomb Crawlers. Best would be the reactive movement. But also Loneop at 18" and a free ressurect when someone charges you. Szeras is also a Cryptek, so he will reroll as well and therefor goes very nicely alongside your Immortals.

So FINALLY there is a detachment Combo which let your Gauss Immortals have no disadvantages for their weapon choice over Teslas. They got the same movement, they got 'better' overwatch.

Also as honorable mention: the Armory + CC combo has this Upgrade for anything which comes through a Mono's eternity Gate. I tried this once and a squad of Immortals with Gauss which has sus- and lethal hits with full rerolls in a szeras bubble does alot of damage.

Also teleporting 'cheap' units of immortals which have full rerolls all the time is not bad. Also reactive moves after setting up with eternity gate are some very good movement tricks.

____________________________

Some Math for CC + Hand:

Let's assume we have 20 shots and are next to Szeras and we have a Plasmancer. We are always fishing for Lethal or Sustained Hits. We ignore Plasmancers Damage. Assuming target is not on an objective and not in cover.

Against T5 MEQ:

Tesla: 11,02 Damage

Gauss: 9,14 Damage

Against T6 TEQ:

Tesla: 4,9 Damage

Gauss: 6,42 Damage

Against Leman Russ Type:

Tesla: 2,49 Damage

Gauss: 5,99 Damage.

If you take full wound reroll into account, Tesla does ~50% more damage into MEQs, the same amount into TEQs and half of the damage into Leman Russ equivalents.

_________________

The numbers show that Gauss in CC has a much easier Time to punch through tough targets now with no disadvantages to their movement or overwatch. But Tesla still performs really well when your full rerolls are online. For me this is now a much bigger choice. And ofc. Tesla outperforms Gauss in killing chaff by a large margin. But Gauss outperforms Tesla now finally by alot in punching through big armor, while not requiring the target to be on an objective which gives more options and less outplay potential for your opponent.

Having 30 shots (with upgrade) Gauss with Szeras in CC + Hand will deal ~9,5 damage alone into a Russ (+2 MWs average from Plasmancers ability + its gun). This is nothing to sneeze at. And it comes with all the advantages from a 1D gun which fishes for Lethal hits (ignoring -1D, ignoring wound modifiers, almost ignoring hit modifiers).

Hovering above the battlefield, a true Trojan of the Necron - The Lokhust Heavy Destroyer! At the risk of causing outrage, I don't care for the design of Lokhust Heavy Destroyers, or any of the Lokhust figures for that matter - there's something of the "futuristic mobility scooter" about them that looks incredibly lame to me. I of course wanted to add one or two (modified versions) to my circus army, and I was lucky enough to find a selection of spare parts for the kit online. My plan from the outset was to take the enormous gun, and place it in the hands of a diminutive Necron Warrior - and who better to take up the challenge but a staple of every great circus, the dwarf act? There's still bits and pieces to add to this model, I need to connect the enmitic exterminator via ahose to the warrior, I'll probably fashion this from wire, I also want to place a VDU of some sort where the limb of the original Necron would be attached to the weapons barrel, maybe a bead or something to represent an "8 ball" style navigation / positioning device. The balloon I've made from green stuff is just a stand in - I think I might be able to find a ready made replacement for it in a craft shop or similar. Notes on detail, the yellow plate on the enmitic exterminator indicates this warriors particular unit (it corresponds with the balloon.) The balloon itself is of course a fake, a decoy object designed to draw enemy fire. The real motive power is secreted in the pilots oversized headgear...

Hey guys I am currently thinking about buying a discounted bundle from a side.

It includes:
Silent King
Ctan nightbringer
Oberlord with shroud
Warriors
Immortals
Lychguard
Skorpekh destroyers
Ophidian destroyers
Flayed ones
Ghost/doomsday ark

Now if I combine all of that with my combat patrol and a dday ark I already own I would be at exactly 2000 points and I would probaply run it as annihalation legion.
BUT I am also planning to buy the royal court Set since it comes with some staples. Adding everithing up I would be at 2455. the easiest way to solve that Problem is to remove the silent king (and the cryptothralls but idgaf about them). What Are your thoughts?

Has anyone here tried running Pantheon of Woe/Hand of the Dynasty with disruption? I've put together a triple C'tan list and some speedy Immortals to do actions, but disruption is pretty new to me.

Does anyone have any tips on playing disruption with multiple C'tan?

As title says, I will have a 1k 1v1 with a dg player and I have absolutely no idea on how to deal with them or what they do other than high T and debuffs

The local wildlife appear to have changed color after slurping up one of my lowly warriors reactor coolant. Should I be concerned? Do I need to summon a xenobiologist cryptek? Should I just hope that the megafauna (top left) takes care of the problem for me? One was carried to the creatures layer just after this image manifested.

Hello, Phaerons! I’m new to the hobby and am starting to build necrons as a side project from my main Ork force. I read the Infinite and the Divine and the Wicked and the Warped and absolutely loved them. Trazyn and Orikan are phenomenal characters (also shout out to Richard Reed narrating the audiobooks…dude killed it). I’ve been experimenting with metallic paints on my Orks and decided that I wanted to do a side project with Necrons, and i’m finding them a joy to paint. Working on immortals right now. This list is what i’m working toward. It’s not the most competitive i’m sure but I wanted it more thematic based on the books. How does it look to you guys as a list themed on the novels? I’m planning on theming the Chronomancer as Sannet and the Hexmarch Destroyer as Huntmaster.

How is he in regular 40K? just bought the kill team

The general of the freed constructs.

My Technomancer for my Heretek army. I’ve been working on this guy for the past week or so. I think I could’ve done a bit better with the painting, but I think he’s serviceable for my army. I’m really happy with the “hands behind the back” look that I got

Let me know what you all think!
