Really starting to get burnt out of getting these guys ready for the tournament.

I have the two heavy destroyers, Destroyer lord, five more praetorians, five Immortals and the stalker to paint. Could also use three more scarab bases.

At least I'm still getting things done. I've got a month to go still.

Now that's an awesome conversion! Is that a Stalker in-game?

Nice job with the destroyer Lord and staff guys. Real smooth looking!

EDC

I have finally finished these guys! I especially liked the Destroyer death mask and the multi colored staff heads. I still need to improve my airbrushing, but it's getting the job done!

Yes its a regular Tomb Stalker. I like my Necron Vehicles to be pilotless and having the gun up top filled up that space nicely. I also assembled the front legs a bit more forward to give it more of an unique silouette against the regular Stalkers

Thanks! They were a lot of work to assemble but worth it at the end. No unused bits, no spare parts, double the kit value!

Right now the praetorian forge is hot as ever cranking out the second unit.



I'm also finishing more scarabs, a necron Destroyer Lord and Heavy Destroyer and the Triarch Stalker. I'm getting everyone to the pre-wash status as I'm running out of the Blue Shade from Vallejo and have to both maximize its use and make sure I get the most impacted miniatures washed first. That means the Stalker may sit unfinished for a while as I think it's more important to have a consistent look throughout my infantry line.

I've finished the two Heavy Destroyers and the Destroyer Lord! I did a last-minute change to him and added the extra sword. I think it adds character and makes he feel very menacing like this. I also made it so his Grav-platform is reeling back to simulate him stopping at the last minute to deliver his sword cut!



I've also finihsed assembling the last remaining five Praetorians.



I'm holding back from finishing the Stalker and Scarabs because I fear I'll run out of Blue Wassh. So tense! I've already ordered some, but getting things delivered to Brazil is always prone to nasty surprizes!

I'm finally finished with the Army and have had a few games already. I feel happy about the list and though it's not an ace tier list it should do well in the tournament if I don't make any huge mistakes.

First off, let me share a few pictures of the massed forces for this 1850pts list.




The Destroyer lord leads the Canoptek Wraith unit across the battlefield.


My Zealous Tomb Spider bursts forth from the Ground with repair sub-routines. In the background, the Canoptek Tentilla heavy artillery piece.


The Dakhma Judicators, a caste of warrior-crypteks that wield the fearsome Rod of the Covenants and oversee that the Canoptek constructs oft he Dynasty are performing as intended on the battlefield.


Dakhma Immortals are the elite infantry of the army.


Autharok on his Reaper Raiment commands the forces of Dakhma at the very front of the battle.


The Dakhma Stalker and Heavy Destroyers secure the backline and provide supporting fire for the foot infantry in the mid-field.


Dakhma Canoptek Scarabs show the progress and experiments of the Dakhma Crypteks in their search of the perfect killing machine.


Nasayan, the reaper is the fearsome leader of the Destroyer Cult of Dakhma.

Below are a couple pictures of two games I played against a friend's Ynnari.

The first one was a total victory as my Scarabs held his deathstar into a crater for the entiraty of the game. The praetorians flew about the board hunting down the scattered units of Eldar and the only unfortunate event was the fact that the Avatar of Ynnead dropped right behind my main formation!







The second game was much more brutal and I lost due to a mistake I will not repeat! I basically over-extended my Tomb Blades and that let him connect after a soulburst move and start the chain. The MvPs of that game were still the Scarabs tying up his deathstar, but the Avatar managed to kill the Wraiths, Destroyer Lord and Command Barge. Was a great game.

And now for something new!

I'm building my wife's Tzeench army and wanted to make several custom pieces. I've started a few of them already.

This is going to be a Flying Demon Prince. The theme is a gigantic two-headed pink horror bird guy syrfing atop a huge screamer.



This is my version of the changeling. I'm still working on the cloack and third arm.


And finally a herald of tzeench that is a huge fan of Kairos and wants to be like him (sans wings) so he sprouted a second head and stole a magic book. There is still tons of work to make on this guy but I plan the book to have an eye popping out of the middle of the page spread.

Here's a quick sneak peek at something new...

The big day is very near and I'm packing my army for the trip. But I took some moments to capture some pictures of it for you!

Below are my 1850pts of battle ready Necrons. The list is a 7th edition Decurion and a CAD with a canoptek harvest and sentry pylons. The big structure is a void shield generator to protect the pylons a bit on the first turn, should I lose initiative.

Hope you enjoy!











Leading the army is my "objective 1", a cute baby wraith.



My scarab swarms are meant to be real swarms!



The Destroyer lord Nassayan leads the force, eager to prove his value to Autharok.



Autharok is here to report back to his Nemesor how his new weapons fare in battle. He oversees all from atop his reaper raiment.



The three Canoptek Tentilla (counts as Sentry Pylons) will see real battle for the first time. They are simply the tentacles of something gar sinister lurking underground...

Very cool. Some awesome conversions and themes.

I was able to secure 2nd place as best general, 1st place as most impressive army and that net me the General Champion of the event trophy!




Round 1 vs Blood Angels
MVP: Pylons, eating away the entirey of his armor and the contents within.
Memorable moment: Immortals glancing down the Dread.


Result: Total Victory

Round 2 vs Innari
MVP: Scarabs tying up his deathstar for most of the game.
Second MVP: A Tyranid spire that funneled his Deathstar into scarab wall!
Memorable Moment: Splitting his forces across the table to deny Soulburst actions and my opponent complaining that I hadn't killed any of his units at key points to deny that as well!


Result: Total Victory

Round 3 vs Space Marines
MVP: Autharok on his Reaper Raiment, charging again and again to try and keep some slim chance of victory after losing all three artillery pieces on round 1.
Memorable moment: That initial bike engagement. It caught me by surprize and cost me the game. Well played Khan!


Result: Total Defeat

Round 4 vs Black Templars
MVP: Sentry Pylons, eating all his soft armor support (land raiders are tough) and clearing away every last one of the Black Templar assault mob.
Memorable Moment: Nassayan Charge on assault Terminators, cutting them down to the last man in a single round of combat.

Result: Total Victory

Round 5 vs T'au
MVP: Void Shield Generator for eating the entirety of his first round of shooting and forcing Farsight and his Killsquad to deal with it on Turn 2.
Memorable moment: Turn 2 Necron Assault Phase when every warrior available multi-charged several Tau Suits, negating their threat, at the same time the two Tomb Blade units across the field charged even more T'au suits. We remaigned locked in combat to the very end.


Result: Total Victory

I haven't had much time for posting news, but I've been slow and steadily progressing with my wife's Chaos forces. Some pieces below.

A Giant Chaos Spawn made for a mix of Reaper Bones figures and then some modelling on my part.



A Tzeench High-sorceress (counts-as Herald of Tzeench). The GW line really lacks on female characters and Tzeench offers a good opportunity to add some. She'll have a flying young dragon swirling around her robes as well. The model is a headswapp of some sort of mummy and a drow queen from Reaper Bones.



My version of the Changeling. I love the official model but I had this cool Bones figure and wanted to save a few bucks, it came out just great and well... anything really can fit that character.



Another Herald of Tzeench. This one was a Pink Horror who was in Kairos Fateweaver's pocket as he was cast into the well of eternity. He suffered a similar fate to that of Kairos grew two vulture heads just like him. Unfortunately, unlike the wizened Lord of Change, this poor fella only talks non-sense, but one head speaks everything the other does, only spelling everything backwards.

I'm very happy with the vibrant colors of these models. The pink horrors in particular are super bright. It's a refreshing change from painting my Necrons.

Long time since my last post. Things have been moving.

I've had time to put some more color in more demons for my wife's army:





I also got some Gauss Pylon Counts-as from TTCombat finished for my crons:


As well as finishing a set of hills and cliffs so we can play at home when we don't feel like going over to the club.





More pics of the table, as well as its building process, here: https://wargamingrebel.blogspot.com.br/2017/10/hobby-desert-table-finished.html

Man those modular hills are kickass! How did you make them? Did you make one big hill and then chop it up into sections?

I'm glad you liked it!

You can see a lot of the work in progress on my blog: https://wargamingrebel.blogspot.com.br/2017/10/hobby-desert-table-finished.html

I bought a large styrofoam board, cut it into sections and carved the pieces I wanted.

Taking a break from terrain I want to finish the demon Prince of tzeench to tie in my wife's army. 

Managed to put some more work on the demon Prince and get him to a color base state so he can start seeing some tabletop!

Woah! What an insane creation love it

Congratulations on your victory! Your army is indeed impressive. I love the pylons!

The daemon prince is a fabulous idea too. I admire your creativity!

Thanks guys, really appreciate the kind words.

Sadly, the demon Prince is going to sit at this stage for a while as I have yet to finish assembling and doing the base of even more models.

I plan to start finalizing them soon though, just need to get some minor reinforcements on my Necrons.

I managed to squeeze in more five deathmark drones so I can have a shot at taking down the changeling when playing against my wife's tzeench Demons.





As for the demon Prince, it'll have to wait a bit at this stage until I get more of her army table top ready. My plan is to finish a few more units (she loves screamers) and then I'll finish a few heralds to nail down the final colors and effects I'll be using. Then the first piece I'll work on is that guy. He's just too awesome bit to!

I just acquired a space wolf army.

An old friend built this army. He shares the same passion I have for making a uniquye force, everything from his army is customized: From the kitbashed Wulfen to the crazy large thunderwolf cavalry, every piece is a kitbash on its own. From what he tells me every non helmeted space wolf has a unique head, making each and every one of them a character in their own right.

There are a few WiP models in the army so you can expect to see some space wolf figures showing up on my progress from time to time now.

The bulk of the power-armor infantry. Every unit type is identified by the shoulder pad markings and/or unique backpacks.


The terminators are a joy to look at with every single one having several customized bits and some very cool custom-characters.


Nothing could've prepared me for what I would feel as I unpacked this thunderwolf cavalry... every model is unique and superbly done with custom bases (each base from an enemy faction) and the largest, meanest thunderwolves I've ever seen! I had no idea these came in such large sizes and they are a joy to behold on the table!



Some scouts and more power armor units and heroes. You can also glimpse the custom Wulfen in the background.


These stunning dreadnoughts use a mix of bits and parts from the whole space wolf range and beyond.


Although light on armoured support, the army still can hold its own with two rhino/razonback/whirlwinds and a mighty land rainder.



The knight titan supports the space wolf army as well as the cool-looking stormfang gunship.


I'm thrilled to have such a large force ready-made and in such short notice. My early self-bought christmas gift and I can't wait to put them on the table!

This model was exciting to assemble and paint. It's a deviation of the standard heroic scale from GW with delicate hands and thin arms more akin to infinity models.

I hope you like it. If you are a chaos player, definitely give it a go.









I've also written a battle report for a narrative campaign I'm playing with a friend.

It puts a small space wolf recon team being ambushed by chaos demons. I've tried to write it in the old White Dwarf style with lots of flavor and lots of pictures, let me know what you think!

You, my friend...are amazing.

It's been ages since I have been painting this Tzeench Demon Prince but it just refuses to get to the next stage.




On the meantime I've also started working on some alternative gakis for my Morat. They are Lycals from the game eden.

My new Lychguard are done! Really happy with the result, even if I had to make up a weapon due to inadvertently using one of the swords in another conversion





I've also had time to assemble these wraiths.

Had some time to create these three blue foam pieces. The central one was actually a failed attempt at making a Sentry Pylon for my army. I need better foam carving and cutting tools, a table cutter would be especially handy.



Did there craters in a day for a big campaign finale game. PretryPhappy with the results given the time frame.





I also did three more Wraiths (front row) to boost up my defensive builds.

In anticipation for the incoming new 9th Necron releases I've taken some time to properly capture what I have already assembled with nice, crisper pictures.
I hope you enjoy my collection, it'll be a challenge for me as I've progressed a lot as a painter since putting these units together and will have to live with the fact that the new units will clash a bit with my old stuff, but I very much like it and wouldn't consider going back and retouching these.
Only setback is that I like my Crons to be pristine and the future releases all have some pretty significant damage. I see a lot of filling and sanding in my future!

I've selected a few pictures below for your viewing pleasure, but you can see the whole lot on my blog in the following link:
http://wargamingrebel.blogspot.com/2020/06/40k-necron-army-showcase-2020.html

Finished something started ages ago, a pack of Wolf Guard assault terminators



And I am now starting my Blackstone Fortress set. Decided to start with the Beastmen as I love to paint these barbaric random models that I can play with color and textures.

long time since I haven't posted, but I did keep progress.

First-off some Blackstone stuff I finished over before the pandemic
