Heh that table is freaking epic. I like the food storage (and books and dice of course) below and the epic terrain/surface storage space below that.

And how you've got the gaming surface sort of raised above the rest, like it's on display, neat aesthetic look.

At least you've provided anti-fatigue matting for your standees.

The storage space off of the gaming surface was a very important feature for me. I like the elevated gaming surface. It's more of a view from the soldiers eye level than top down view.

There are fold out chairs, out of frame, but no one used them.

We play late at night. I've found that a couple of our players occasionally doze off if they are sitting and not very active. With everyone standing they were much more lively.

Sounds awesome. Definitely nice to be closer to the soldier eye level too.

Random pieces of stuff talked to me and said they belonged together

Awesome work dude.

Is that a cat toy on the top of that tower? Looks great!

So for supplies do you just walk into the kitchen on garbage day and just walk with the entire bag to your room and go through it?

Thanks !

I can see how it looks like a cat toy, but it's actually an Xploders Xgrenade.



I got a 6 pack for $1 on Clearance at ToysRUs

I saw those and thought to myself, what could I possibly do with these? Obviously you've got better scratchbuilder instincts

I saw them and instantly thought Void Shield Generator. Then I read the rules for the Void Shield Generator and kind of lost my enthusiam to build one. I will eventually, just to have the option to field one, and at wost just some tall LOS blocking terrain for my Knights to hide behind

The good stuff never makes it into the garbage bin.

I eye everything for it's potential before tossing it.

The recycling bin is fair game though

Built 5 Death Marks for my Necron Army and assembled a Dr Manhattan I was thinking about using as a C'Tan Shard.



Dr. Manhattan is a wee bit taller than I expected... so hello Tancendant C'Tan ?

Maybe I should just use him with the IK knights rules

Lol the glowy blue guy looks like he could just about take the Lancer. Since he's glowy and blue, if he were just a giant that thing would tear him to pieces.

Um not sure what to think about those rocket shapes lol.

I've had those for a decade and I never saw the phallic comparison until last weekend. One of my fellow players giggled like a school girl saying it reminded him of a phallus and scrotum. I really didn't think anything of it when he said it. In any case, any resemblance to human genetalia is coincidense and completely unintentional.

LMAO

Great work none the less.

Thanks Sammoth !! I was finding it weird that no one had commented on the objective markers, but I guess that may be the reason why.

Found some more, rock themed, Gorkamorka terrain and base coated it black. Also got some paint on the death marks and power generator thing.

I've been feilding Necrons lately, so I expect my focus to shift towards them and away from orks for a while. Also received my Adamantite Lance, so I have 3 Imperial Knights that need work.

Expect Necrons and Knights with a sprinkling of terrain in between for at least the next month.

^sounds like a cool work-queue.

That rocket just ending up as that good of a wang joke has got to be equivalent to getting a haircut and the hair makes a stylized Elvis face on the floor

My friend once bought a RT Era Chaos Dreadnaught off of Ebay. Once it arrived he realized it had a custom sculpted organic gun mounted between the legs.

This spawned a entire discussion of Slannesh themed Chaos Marine Modelling possibilities that wouldn't be appropriate to use around the women and children.

You should look up the guy hereabouts that has the NSFW tyranids if you're into that kind of thing

I don't think I would go through the bother to convert stuff in that vain, but I do get a kick out of people who do.

BossFearless' Dub Step Tau are legendary in my gaming group.

Totally use Dr. Manhattan as a Transcendant C'tan. That or throw some armor on him, and make him a unique Knight

Anyone happen to know where the rules are for the trancendant C'Tan are ?

Rebased two of the missles so they look like they are coming from an underground silo, and not just sitting there derelict.

Assembled and got painted to a quick tabletop standard a squad of Necron Deathmarks. In nearly 20 years of gaming this is probably the first time I assembled and painted a squad in the same week I bought them.

Also picked up a cheap squad of Necron Pariahs off of Ebay. Sure they are OOP and not int he rules anymore, but they would make pretty decent alternative models for Crypteks, which my collection is currently lacking.

First bits of paint the pipe piles and Deathmarks



Good enough to field this Friday

Updated image of Necron Tank Traps, click on to enlarge





I was thinking of attempting some Object source lighting below them, but I'm a bit hesitant since I've never tried it before.

Will defintely have to cast more of these up. I especially like the half submerged one looks and mau just add them like that to random scatter terrain.

Yeah, those are neat. They probably scare people off for their floatiness just as much as they physically block tanks

Just bought a Annhilation Barge for my Necrons, and I have plans for a Scarab Farm in th enear future

Sounds like mad Necrons to me, and all possible now with the fluff saying program degradation, no knowing what a necron world will be like once they wake

Definitey leaning towards a Necron Tombworld theme at the moment with my terrain. I might as well give my troops a home field advantage

Now I need to make a few pieces of terrain a Cerastus Knight can hide behind ....

HIt the rocket markers with a black wash, to make them look a little bit more worn.

Also started sorting my Necron Scarabs swarms. I aquired them all second hand and most of them had rudimentay paint jobs that I'm now trying to tie together for a bit more uniform look.

There is also a squad of warriros I am going to try and paint to match the Deathmarks

I've gathered a rather large Necron collection, mostly 3rd edition models, all second hand. None of them with finished based, msot othem just base coated, and a bunch of them broken.

NECRON REHAB



These poor little buggers were glued directly to the base, without flight stands and no basing. I used them as test models for a Ice World themed Necron Army, that I eventually decided against.
Snow flock has been applied, but not much else based detail, since they were already securely glued flush to the surface.



These Scarabs came in blue scheme, that I persoanlly would have never chosen, but it doesn't look bad, so I'm not going to repaint them. I added a soft black wash to bring out the details more and added the rubble texture to all the bases.



These came base coated bright silver or brass, and mostly brocken off the bases. I hit them with a heavy black wash, which toned down the brightness nicely and really made the detail pop. On a couple of the bases I'm experimenting with some crystals, that I paln to glue scarabs crawling over and around.



These warriors were also spray painted shiny silver and I hit them with a heavy black wash, which ages the mdoels nicely and makes the details stick out.

Those Necrons have grown so fast recently!!
