Warhammer 40K - New Necrons 

Novokh to Nihilakh

"Red! Red! Sooo much red!"




     Painting Adeptus Mechanicus in my version of Mars Red colours (See Welcome to Mars Chapter   1  2  3  4  5  6   ) has finally taken its toll and I am curing my 'scarlet fever' by putting my Necron forces through a dynasty change from dark crimson Novokh to the turquoise and gold of Nihilakh. I'm hoping this "servicing" puts my toasters on a good war-footing before the rush into 9th edition with Indomitus and their inevitable reinforcements, which I will document in future Chapters.

Pick Up your copy of Indomitus from Element Games!



    I really don't want to spend a lot of time on new pimped paint jobs, so no resprays - only painting over the old red scheme with Ahriman Blue with a few Lothern Blue highlights then pick out a couple of areas of the Boltgun Metal for the bling upgrade to Retributor Armour Gold. If I can also plonk on a couple of transfers we are done apart from a light spray of matt varnish.


packaging material helps to protect the sensitive bits from the Matt Varnish


HOBBY TIP: Certain areas of some models do not react well to being sprayed with a matt varnish. Normally I would spray a Necron model before mounting it on a base and before inserting any green plastic gauss rods. However, as this is a re-painted model, it is a good idea to cover these areas. In the case of the Necron Destroyer, I cut a piece of light packing material and slotted it over the base and covered the rods with tube of the same material.




   That Portly little Dwarf pointed out that they now match my Tomb Kings army! (As Seen Here)  which is kind of cool. I can also paint the new Necron models in this scheme when the Indomitus box set drops and the new models become available. In addition to the Indomitus models, Illuminor Szeras, the Silent King and the Void Dragon models look fantastic, and I am really looking forward to adding them to the painting queue.




Glad to be off the red paints for a while...I was getting a bit twitchy!

Nihilakh versus Mars looks like it will be a Rock 'em, sock 'em robot rumble!


Well 010010011, in our new away kit, we can tell ourselves apart from those Admech Scum...

 Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining... There is a big temptation for getting my Tomb King army match fit for the release of The Old World. ( Assuming that the unit roster and base sizes will be similar to 8th edition ). When I saw the photo of it, I immediately recognised that it was, in fact, a great model to represent a Necrolith Colossus armed with a Bow of the Desert. Patting the little guy on the head, I couldn't really tell if the quality of print was good but decided to take a chance and ordered it. A few days later a Royal Mail hawk arrived with my Necrolith Colossus.   ( Unfortunately, I cannot remember the vendor's details but the purchase went ...

Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 - Har Ganeth Darkshards

  Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 Har Ganeth Darkshards Time to increase the core unit count of my Khainite force with some Darkshard s . This will not only increase the unit count but enable me to field an army at a higher points level. Their addition will also give me some variety in unit type, in regards a bit of range, as most of the army is melee based. HEY YOU ! Yeah you with the Beard..  Why not follow us on Instagram?   @Tabletop_hobby.blogspot I'm assuming Har Ganeth, as a major Druchii city, will be able to field a 'city guard' of some sort, (it certainly does in the Malus Darkblade novels - FD) . I felt  Darkshards  seemed the most appealing and appropriate to start with, this will install some missile capabilities in the army. Darkshards These are the standard core unit box set models that can also be assembled as Bleakswords  and Dreadspears .  I had enough parts to assemble a unit of 14 models including a command group and I also decided to hav...

Warhammer Fantasy - High Elves Chronicles of The Glorious Host Chapter 1 -  Archmage & Eagles This post is about my High Elf Archmage on Great Eagle  conversion. If you want to see the links to what iv used, or the other relevant blog posts then please see the end of this post for the "HANDY LINKS SECTION" Lindalan the Pure of Heart rides the Great Eagle Gwindolir "Lindalan" the Pure of Heart has gained added manoeuvrability and resiliency by being mounted on a  Great Eagle . This post is about kit-bashing a High Elf Mage on a  Great Eagle for a High Elf Army. Lindalan first appeared in Phaedrils' Sky Patrol - An Army list from one of Gildoren's Campaigns A Great Eagle  is an appealing mount option for Archmages in any High Elf army list, the Great Eagle  offers increased mobility (and toughness) as they follow the rules for monstrous beasts ( p85, WHF Rulebook 8th Edition ). Also gaining a "STOMP" attack in combat. Lindalan's hobbies inclu...
