Cheers everyone.

Here is what I'm hoping my Triarch Stalker will look like

**angelofvengeance**

++INCOMING TRANSMISSION....++

++....NECRON WAR MACHINE SPOTTED, FIRE AT WILL!++

++THRONE AND BLOOD! IT'S PROTECTED BY SOME SORT OF ENERGY FIELD! REQUESTING SUPPO...++

++...CONNECTION LOST...++

++THE SILENT KING'S WILL BE DONE++

Still a ways to go yet- going to be using A LOT of Runefang Steel on the chassis and layers to go on the various orbs and lenses..

Very nice work, I especially like the highlighting/weathering on the blue on the legs. I have very little idea on Necron rules, how does the Stalker measure up in a game?

Cheers- Base of Sotek Green, dry brushed with Skink Blue followed by Tyrant Skull on the cartouches and corners. Then gave it a wash of Steel Legion Drab (pretty heavy amount of Lahmian Medium to thin it right down as it's a Base paint) Then went over again with the Tyrant Skull. Just need to glaze it with Lamenters Yellow to finish the blue bits.

Recently, pretty well since you can now have them in units of 3. They also add +1 BS to any friendly non vehicles within 6" of them. Plus they get an energy shield that grants them AV13 on the front and side facings. Loses it on a Penetrating hit though. Standard weapon is pretty much the Martian Heat Ray from War of the Worlds. 125 pts each

**Edit: I forgot to mention they move through cover and ignores Crew Shaken effects.

Heat ray Dispersed Template S5 AP4 Heavy1
or
Focussed 24" S8 AP1 Heavy 2 Melta

Weapon options are
Particle Shredder 24" S7 AP4 Heavy 1 Large Blast 5pts
TL Hvy Gauss Cannon 36" S9 AP2 Heavy 1, Gauss(Auto wound on a To Wound roll of 6 regardless of toughness/ Auto glance on a 6 if it doesn't penetrate) 10pts

**angelofvengeance**

So GW's shiny new board game has landed. Had a good look at it last night-really nice stuff! Shame the novel by Joe Parrino sucked.

Anyways- onto the reason you're here- for the dollies!!

**GrimDork**

Cool beans, looking forward to some paint!

**angelofvengeance**

I was thinking of doing the Eversor in a Red Skull kind of theme. Plus the name Johann Schmidt is pretty 40K ish.

**angelofvengeance**

Did some wet blending this evening

**Azazelx**

The Triarch Stalker is coming along really nicely. I'm torn on the new 40k boardgame. Aussie prices are ...discouraging. Any word on how it plays yet?

**angelofvengeance**

I've heard some pretty positive stuff, though some of the folks on here seem to be more than happy to condemn it as a one trick pony. The board is actually pretty big- comes in 4 sections.

**angelofvengeance**

Got this lot assembled ready for priming today, Eversor will be first on the painting block

**GrimDork**

Look nice, looking forward to paint

**Thraxas Of Turai**

The Execution Force box was a lot heavier than I expected (Squall mentioned this too). I am a fan of the board, I just wish it was fold out or had some connectors or something.

Any ideas on Assassin schemes?

**angelofvengeance**

Probably going to do the Eversor in a Red Skull theme. So black suit, red head. Dark blue/grey for the armour plating/power pack.

Not sure on the others just yet though.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

That should look great. I think I may go camo on mine, but the traditional black is inviting too.

Have you had a play through yet? I like it.

**angelofvengeance**

Not had time to play it yet but I've had a gander at the rules. Looks fun enough to me.

PS> Have any of you noticed something... different about the Callidus?

**Paradigm**

Did you replace the hair, possibly with DE hair?

**angelofvengeance**

@Para: Well spotted. I used a DE Scourge Solarite hair piece. Had to snip off the bone pin and feathers. Covered up the snipped bit with a skull (cut in half) from the pommel of a GK power weapon

**Paradigm**

It definitely looks natural, I had to look closely to spot it!

**angelofvengeance**

Just a few bits today.. Spent most of my time edge highlighting the Triarch Stalker.. Plus I assembled the Terminator Lord from Assassinorum. Head swapped him for a Deathwing Knight hoodie head.

C&C welcome. Thanks for viewing

**Paradigm**

Cool! Stalker looks great, and the Lord is nice. That kit has to be one of my all time favourites!

**Azazelx**

Stalker is looking great, and I like the hoodie, too!

**angelofvengeance**

I'm considering starting a Chaos warband now (as if I don't have enough on my plate already...)

Been looking around and sadly there's not much that takes my fancy since most of it is a variation of black/red/green or blue.

Suggestions please?

**Paradigm**

A few more obscure Warbands have pretty unique schemes;

The Cleaved:

Hakanor's Reavers

**angelofvengeance**

I looked at The Cleaved.. Meh. Bit bland for me. Hakanor's Reavers- bit too Black Legiony for me.

**Paradigm**

Fair enough! There's plenty of scope to create you own Warband, if none of the established ones take your fancy.

**GrimDork**

I still want to do a silver metallic chaos force. Mix in a lot of wires and gross bits from sedition wars for tech mutations. Probably just end up looking like Iron Warriors though, so I kind of feel your pain.

**angelofvengeance**

Lol. I'm playing as Necrons. Plenty of that to do Grim

**GrimDork**

Yeah haha. I wasn't suggesting the silver scheme for you, just that its easy to lose your inspiration/drive when you can't come up with a unique/snowflake scheme you like.

**angelofvengeance**

I'm thinking maybe an offshoot of Alpha Legion. A Fallen of the Dark Angels legion who killed the original Lord and took command of the warband. Wreaking havoc across the Imperium.
