The scheme is working really well. Going to be a striking army all together.

Nice and tidy paint-job too.

Oh yeah, there I did it again...

I swear I DID read that sentence before... It just didn't connect with the rest of the frame in my mind

And I ALMOST commented about that "Night Queen" concept that I thought was really great, but something got in the way... Must be my damn pills lol...

No worries my friend. Actually you made me think more about theme that I normally do. That is good and I thank everyone for it. I usually don't think about fluff but I see it's a big part of the game and how important it is in others individual threads!

Black and white play off each other very well, and the neon green you use plays perfectly with both of them! The red eyes were a great choice as well, and the cryptek's eye shows time well spent

Geez.... so you're almost done! I gotta get my butt moving if I'm gonna finish my army this year!

Thanks, I've been studying your gems on the Eldar you did. Seemed to click this time!

Your stuff isn't done? As long as your moving forward you'll stay off your team Capts radar ( thou I think you painting his as well)

Thanks Dr. H. I'll get an army shot when I'm done with the essential list

Oh yeah forgot to comment on the Cryptek : his red eye really make him stand out from the other models, even though the rest of its body is the same colours as his "brethren" ! That's great !

@Samos : I got my first army EVER completed this year. Truly, it feels awesome So get to work !!!

I love the black and white contrast you have going on here!

The gold really pops in this scheme. I love howbright your green is! How do you paint that?

Thanks for comment Master A.

Some people like the gold others ( read back a few pages) are not really fond of It. Still it's what it is.

The green on the flyers and glyphs are a very watered down Scorpion green ( old GW color) . It pools only in the crevices. You have to many and many coats to get the brightness. The cool part is after each " filling" you can wipe off the excess and it keeps the flat higher surfaces free of paint.

As for the other green such as the cables.. I paint with 2 layers of scorpion green. then add more and more yellow, ( very watered down layers doing smaller and smaller sections. I always go with a bit more heavy yellow and try not do more than 4 layers. The watered down work to dilute the more concentrated yellow mix. Don't be afraid to be bold!

Allow to dry between coats ( The SAN76 rule )

Hope this helps

We did just figure out his list and the models for it like last week And yes, I am being lazy.....errr.....helping fund Ramos's trip again.

Your generosity knows no bounds!

Looking forward to seeing what (you make him do) oh... umm what he's capable of doing!

"On a side note I'm about finished with my AC list. Only thing that has to be done is the 5 remaining Deathmarks. They are about 80% done. After that It's all extras. Tomb blades, Monolith, wraiths (3), 2 tomb spyders, lynchgurad, Stalker and a mess of Scarabs. "

Other than getting an additional 3 Wraiths and an additional Monolith.. Is there anything I'm missing to make the army complete? Anything you think that is essential?

The new Apocalypse machine ?!?

Dude that model is painted beautifully....*drool*

Ahhh.. nope.. Cool model thou. Just paying a $160 for a Apoc only model doesn't meet the intent of this Army. I'm more likely to purchase a FW titan for my Imperial forces.

I don't play enough to justify this purchase. I have about 4 other aprox. size armies to finish.

The... "Flayers" ? I don't remember you mentioning them... I like the concept

 Yggdrasil wrote:

Yeah .. I thought about them , but I think the 6th ed. is not rule set for CC units. It works for characters, but everything else is at such a disadvantage ( overwatch, roll to charge, ect)

If I was fielding a larger force, I would like to have some pop up CC troops to appear behind my Opponents line. but anything under 1800 points doesn't make much sense. To many more effective and counter effective units to take. Like Arks.

I'm also liking the old flayer models over the new ones.

Agreed on the looks of the older models... Wraiths are always useful though (if they are what I think they are : the clawed, serpentine constructs) !!

Wraiths are apparently essential. Oddly the new version is about twice the size of the older models, Lot more details and thus more details to paint. I’m told 6 is a good number to have!

Had intended to get a game in today with them but I'm not set up to transport them yet. So I'm putting together a SM force using the new codex. I'll let Yellowbeard try out his Eldar list. ( ouch Wraithknight) In the meantime ...Off to Battlefoam.

Finished Last piece of the List – Deathmarks complete

2014 AC List/Army shots




Now on to the non-essentials

very nice man...really like the pure white effect on the shoulders makes them look like some kind of high tech ceramic.

Good job. A very nice army scheme.

Been wanting to work on a group of those myself. Nice work!

Tight. Really, really crisp. Might I suggest that, whatever you decide to do for the bases/board, you make it really grubby, so that the pristine qualities of the crons shine out?

Thanks. I almost didn't go with the white and instead went with a black (or Dk. Grey) and Golden Bronze. After priming white Iiked the look and stayed with it.

I'm not sure the bases yet. I'm building the Display for our team at Adepticon so I'll wait to finish them based on what it comes out as. Ironicily Gits is skulls and WF is meadows with flowers... should be easy to come up with a display that matches both!


I'll probably finish up the Destroyers and the remaining 12 warriors as they both particially done.

What next? Spyders, Monolith or Stalker?

Really, really slick. Great job, dude.

Thanks all,

I need to come up with a unique Objective marker, Something necrony with the parts I have left over. Channelling my inner Graven.... IT's hurts!!! Agggggh! MY SOUL!!!

You never go full Graven!

I'm pretty sure going full graven isn't allowed on dakka. That's a different site.

I think that site is blocked at my home as well! That would be the outer Graven so I'm pretty sure Ice is correct ... again!

Theres No Coming Back from Full Graven

Once you go graven you never go... Um... Shaven?



(Graven now expects red mod death to descend...)

I'm fairly thrilled to be an adjective...

Now a way to turn you into a Necron objective! Hummm

Something growing in my mind....! ( It's not a tumor)
