Chaos Marine is so done with the swearing in of the new war master, he just wants to go get blood for the blood of God and skulls for the skull throne.

Yes it is , but they both lost their heads at the same spot even with doing a separate slice each try.

Bernie isn’t out for blood . He’s everyone’s favorite “Special” uncle. He wants everyone to have a golden skull throne which takes care of their health care needs and he is out to wipe out collegia Titanicus debts.

Oh, I wasn't trying to get political I was just talking about the chaos hat

Oh I know, It's just so hard not to like Bernie, but to still see the political side of him too.

I liked the memewave, more of Bernie as a pop culture reference that anyone can enjoy

Speaking of pop culture reference, this guy reminds me of the machine from the movie Wall-E.

It even has the small little arms to push buttons .

Obviously not done yet, but kind of the range of typical warrior to towering behemoth, a scale reference for Necron sizes.


And the assembled skorptek Destroyer Lord next to a BtGoA Gahr

I really think the Gahr should have been the size of the Skorpteks to match their profiles. Also then you could fit a Gahr inside without the “Compacting” technology which shrinks the user .

So finally put together one of the 3D printed tomb stalker/sentinels


The FW one has more sections, and I have enough parts to make this longer and a complete second one as well (except the base), but I want to get this one done up first.

Also finished printing a second Croissant fighter .

Ooh fancy. My forces are jealous of your forces superior reinforcement facilities.

Well, let’s just say I had to finish this as a promise to myself. I went to Miniaturemarket earlier and grabbed another copy of Indomitus....then kicked myself and put it back on the shelf. When I was leaving with just a couple pots of paint 20 minutes later I saw someone else was buying the Indomitus box, so I feel good about the decision. It could have been lots of reinforcements for both sides, but nothing really new. I have both these centipedes and the two flyers to do besides the contents I already have.

I was looking at the necron codex earlier and realized the two flyers I have can be made as transports and they each can carry 20 warriors , I do have 40 warriors waiting to get done up.

Also printing a special flyer base for the night scythes right now.

Is it the one that's beaming in a warrior? Cuz that one's pretty cool.

Looks like you did a Good Samaritan.

I am still considering an indomitous half off of eBay for my necrons, I could use extra of everything but the characters and the characters can be made into some pretty cool conversions that I've seen. It would also cap me out on scarabs almost.

Well the doom scythe is kind of expensive for its relative durability and damage output, The night scythe is in a pretty good place.

In addition to its 20 model capacity it can beam a unit in better than deep strike through a stratagem and when you combine that with a veil of darkness, you can get a huge chunk of your army up in your opponent's face. Lots of reaper warriors, or Lynch guard are some of the preferred options.

Yes, the base is the one beaming in the troops.

First one printed and first layers applied. The digital/pixelated look will tie in with the Psychomancer nicely. The second one is printing now and should be done later tonight, it’s a 15 hour print at 0.2mm thickness.

It eats up a ton of the Contrast Aethermatic Blue though .

A small price to pay for a very cool effect, and. You're saving my money by printing, right?!

Very true. The Night Scythe and the convergence of dominion terrain kits are $60 each, I printed two of the flyers and one of the three dominion pieces for less than $20, so that should cover my paint funds for a while. The two tomb sentinels I printed are $89 each, so really with them coming off the same $22 spool as the rest I am really saving money.....why’s my bank account not reflect this .

Ahahah. My problem with saving money in Warhammer is it usually allows me to buy something else that's more expensive... Or that I'm saving money by buying a bundle which is definitely more expensive than any of the components which I would have bought instead.

Oh, also in the Warhammer community update today they did say that pariah Nexus would have rules to allow you to play. I imagine that it would not be a full rule book, probably missing the unit stats or missions or something. But with the models in the box and several of your other Indomitus minis, you could play some kind of kill team. I remember we had a discussion about whether it had the rules or not It seems to some extent that have confirmed at least some rules.

There’s a new thread in news and rumors which has a screenshot of the index showing all the data sheets and content.

I kind have rethought the Indomitus purchase again. I might pull the trigger tomorrow as the Indomitus is a limited supply and everything else is a continued purchase release. It’s dumb I know, but it’s such a good deal even if I don’t split it up or sell the other rulebook.

Yeah the sheer imaginary value and limited availability are really pushing my decision. I never intended to buy two fully stacked Warhammer armies all up front, but most of what I've been shopping for has been limited edition we're out of print so they're really forcing my hand.

That's neat about that screenshot I shall have to see if it's got anything I don't know.

It makes me sick to get Indomitus, the Christmas battle force, and possibly pick up that start collecting... but this is pretty much my only chance to get any of them lol. Guess I'm putting myself into hobby debt at the beginning of the year for the rest of the year.

I love that pixellated version of the Night Scythe portal's beam. If I wasn't building my Scythe to be able to swap in the Death Ray...

Well, I did my job well and procrastinated until Miniaturemarket was sold out of Indomitus . "I am Omegon"....Alpharius would have bought it and had it painted in chaos colors just to make it seem like they were chaos. Thankfully, no one else has Indomitus to tempt me .

The great thing about the base is that it has a empty spot where the flight peg attaches, so you can set up your model as the death ray and put it on a separate base, take the death ray off and then put it on this base. Magnets .

Base sounds dope, jelly.

Too bad(??) about indomitus. I'm still fighting with the idea. I could probably do without any of it, but #2 would enable one DW kill team now and another after pariah Nexus. Plus a plasmancer for spare chronomancer parts from there. So, if I spend more money now I have a better reason to spend more money later...

Mistakes have been made (I called the retail store. They had a copy on the shelf. It is on hold for me to pick up tonight )

^ sucker well done you.

AHahaha! You dun got got, As they say in the local vernacular.

I'm probably going to fold myself, buying all the models I'll buy for the entire year within the first two months and really probably something for next year too... Oops.

inmygravenimage wrote:^ sucker well done you.

I can find a deal, even when I shouldn't . It'll be fine.....nothing to worry about....all is well.

I dun did got myself . It's not like they called me and said "Guess what we have saved for you because we read your thread" .

Seriously it will give me time to decide on the other things. I still don't have a marine codex, so I must bulk out the Necron Legions. I wonder what a pure gunline would look like with my 60 warriors and 18 scarabs backed up by the 12 Skorptek guys and a load of Croissants....

also on the printer is the Seraptek Heavy Construct. the current part is a 34 hour print. This project will be a week long affair if not longer.

Oh wow, I've seen those Serapteks... extra jealous now

40 reaper warriors plopping out of the scythes which can also invasion beam in another 20 warriors a piece, or lychguard or immortals or what have you.

I bet the deathray version is pretty fun in a less competitive medium too!

If you have marine questions, and can't figure it out from battlescribe, I went ahead and got the book so I can field them if you need.

Thanks,

The printing will continue until I have all the things . The guns on the side of the Seraptek each take 2 days , so it's a longer project than I thought, But it will be well worth it as the whole thing will cost less than $15. I have tried to print the front legs a couple of times, each time I try to do it with less time spent, or to get a better finished product (less sanding). I might wind up spending more on it's base than the model

Also I did some Necron terrain 3D style back when I first got the printer. It is calling for paint.

WOw swanky. Really selling me on a 3d printer but stupid warhammer has claimed all foreseeable hobby budget lolol.

Loving all the 3d-printed Necron stuff. You'll have a pretty cool army when it's all painted. I've been tempted to pick up a 3d printer of my own, but I don't really have much of a use for it at this point. Maybe in the future.

Seriously, the Ender3 has been working almost non-stop for 11 months. I got it at $199.00, the last I looked at the price now was $169.00 and the spools of filament I use (really good stuff) is $22.00 a Kg from Amazon. I use about 1 Kg a month. It has well been worthwhile, but my next printer will be a resin one so I can do figures and parts like custom heads and arms.

Perfect for terrain and larger models, well worth the investment.

Speaking of large models from a 3D printer....


Finished the second half of the torso today, I had printed the hips and leg joints a long time ago. I have some of the leg parts done, but will probably reprint them at this higher infill due to load bearing. Shoulder armor left side is printing now, it should be done by the time I get home tomorrow then I’ll do the other shoulder. Legs and guns to follow as I already have the head....somewhere. Croissant and warrior for size reference.

I really like what you're doing with these Necrons, Theo. They look great.

I'll probably talk myself into it eventually, but learning a new tool is so outside my available time right now haha. Are you doing ABS or PLA? Your prints also seem pretty darn smooth for a filament printer, but I agree that a resin sounds nice.
