Do you know how many points (rough estimate) is in the last picture alone? Out of how much?
I know you guys still have a commission to meet, but I would just be happy seeing just these guys fully painted up and ready to go. Anyways, keep it up!

Apologies, but I cannot make a points estimate for you. I have not played Warhammer 40,000 since 4th Edition (and only a few games) and this is one of the first 40k armies I have worked on since (we mainly specialize in boardgame). I would say the picture is about half of the models. Here is a list of a rough estimate of what is in the entire army (going by box titles, not sure the names of the configurations):

Illuminator Szeras
Trazyn the Infinite
4 Lords
1 Destroyer Lord
17 Immortal (Metal)
2 Crypteks
4 Overlords
3 Annihilation/Catacomb Barges
6 Ghost Arks
6 Monoliths
384 Warriors
50 Scarab Swarms
18 Tomb Blades
40 Immortals
40 Tomb Guard
4 Triarch Stalker
C'tan Shard of The Nightbringer
15 Flayed Ones (metal)
6 Doom Scythes
15 Wraiths
15 Wraiths (metal)
50 Destroyers

I won't have an exact number until everything is in once place but I think that's it!

8410 in the picture by my quick look. Ofc, that will vary tremendoudsly dependant on wargear

40k in that list

It's... BEAUTIFUL!

Yeah watching this project unfold is great fun.

I dubt Dakka will see anything of this scale again anytime soon!

Missed these pictures of the Necron Wraiths:

I really like the green lenses for all these models, and that they're all pretty much uniform. A minor bit of criticism, but there's a bit too much silver on the stalker, he appears a bit splotchy. Anyways, keep on chugging along, you guys!

I suppose I should add my own progress on this army.
We also have a Phalanx box that is in my possession for completion.
Unfortunately due to a work accident, I was put well behind schedule. But late at night I am putting the final touches on the Warriors and Scarabs.

Cheers

Day 5 wrapped up, Kobayashi (William T.) showed up today to help us out a bit, here is the army shot so far. Still missing 6 Ghost Arcs, 30ish Destroyers, 150ish Warriors, 35ish Immortals, 15ish Wraiths, 2 Monoliths, 20ish Flayed Ones, and a ton of heroes.

Not part of this commission, but some other Necrons Keerplunk painted for another client, shows how much work we can put on these models:

WOW!!!!Looking good! Can wait to see this toom world finished!!!!

That's quite the sweat shop you've got going there.
Whoever was stuck on mold-line duty is going to have carpal tunnel by the time you get 25k finished.

Also, you should tell the guy in the plaid shirt to stop trying to eat the sprue, its counter-productive.

Whoever this client is, they're either one wealthy businessman, or one incredibly spoiled child. I think they bought Matt Ward a new car with their purchases.

See this project makes me feel so bad. I bought a single set of lyche guard a month ago and have only just assembled two...

Anyway, great work everyone!

Yeah, it took me forever just to get to the 1250 mark (I think) that I'm at.
Looking good so far, great work!

He's probably eating the sprue so he doesn't have to clean the mold lines! ^_^

You can get us to assemble and paint them for you! Thanks!

Thanks! Your Necrons are higher quality and plus you don't have sweatshop workers! I I mean trainees.

We have assembled everything (I think!). There will be no updates for awhile as school starts tomorrow and unfortunately this commission doesn't pay for all of our college!

WHAT THE HECK WOULD SOMEONE NEED 40K OF NECRONS FOR?

what do they do for a job?

great work here! Keep it up!

Suprised nobody else commented on 40k of 40k...
Awesome to see this taking shape! Good luck to you and your trainees haha
Nice painting as well... someone is going to be very lucky!

I don't even...

I...

Wut...

I anxiously await this project's completion. Just, so many robots...

Oh dear god... but somehow not as frightful (thus far) looking as a 10k Apoc list I saw that consisted of:

Imotekh
Orikan the Diviner
C'tan with Writhing Worldscape and that dust one that gives him cover and assault and defensive grenades
4 squads of 5 immortals
and then a gak ton of Pylons and Doomscythes and Nightscythes

(Yes, if the owner of these necron models happens to be a dakka member, I'm encouraging him to get Pylons. Too much Cron? NEVER ENOUGH!!!!!)

Not bad, not too bad at all!

Dear lord, that is a LOT of crons! How is the client (most likely Bill Gates if you judge by the shop-price ALONE for all those figures) ever going to get to field them all??

He'd be walking into his local gamestore an go:
"Ahaha, I can play ALL you people here! At the SAME TIME!"

Anyways, great work, I don't envy you having to paint a gazzilion more of them though!

Haha wow, this is just mind-boggling.

Man, how many cans of primer spray paint have you guys gone through? And how many more do you still need?

Amazing blog! To see you paint all this so fast is incredible. Good luck on the rest!

Makes me a sad panda that they'll he no more updates for a while. Can't wait to see more soon though.

D

Nuff said.

Holy fething Gak, is thisguy a billionaire?

The Gamesowrkshop employee has a 40k point Eldar Army (although probably not painted) to play him.

I lost count, we just go to Walmart if we run out (it's right down the street), but maybe 6 cans of silver and 8 cans of black.

Despite our busy school schedules, we have a workday planed next Saturday. After that I am not sure, we are all taking AP or College level classes and those are a lot of work. I will paint some of the models myself if I get the chance. Thanks again for all the comments, they keep us motivated!

40k of Eldar vs 40k of Necrons? The shooting phase will involve rolling dice by the bucket-full.

This is very impressive, not only have not only got this far with them but that you even took on a comision like this in the first place is just impressive. seriously well done

This makes army me feel like I'm locked in Peter Griffins face

I did, but I wanted 50k, I think it was severe OCD and also wanting to have option of fielding any combination of units in any of the marine codex's



On topic thats a great job you guys are doing, really looking forward to seeing it all complete.

Hello Dakka,

Been awhile, but we just had another work day. I estimate only 2 or 3 or sessions until everything is completed!

For more pictures check out and like our Facebook Page here:

No the best picture since a ton of models that wouldn't fit are missing, but here is what the army looks like so far. Everything at least has some paint on it except the Tomb Blades:


Here is the only way for the entire army to fit on one table:


2AM and I have 6 Arks all cut out:


Note to people building Necrons: Do not cut out all your Ghost Arks and put them in a pile. Each Ark is about 170 pieces, I mean who designs a model with a separate pieces for the neck?!?

Completed... Oh wait...


Remember to take your paint fumes seriously, until next time!
