Necron Dynasty - Army so Far - Feb 2019

Hi All, well amongst painting Relictor Space Marines, Titans and various other hobby projects when my HBS (Hobby Butterfly Syndrome) allows, I've been plugging away at the Necron Dynasty - slowly emerging from its Tomb World...
This was the state of the army back in February 2015, Scarabs, air power and Imotekh Stormlord, so since this I have heavily added to the Warriors and Destroyers and Immortals...
Three Night Scythes and an Obelisk should be enough airpower, Obelisks when Apoc first dropped were quite effective anti-air, but now I think it's quite nerfed...
Here is the Triarch Stalker and Tomb Stalker with a C'Tan Shard or in apoc games a Transcendent C'Tan and furthest right is the Forge World Tesseract Ark.
Here is a better shot of the Tesseract Ark and the Annihilation Barge, Canoptek Wraiths and the ‘line highlight nightmare’ Ghost Ark - kinda put me off getting a Dommsday Ark, but I guess I'll get one eventually...
Here is Imotekh the Stormlord at the head of the phalanx of Warriors, I like the idea that a Necron Army should have lots of Warriors so 55 so far, might stop at 60...
Then some Scarabs, 18 bases so I can spawn lots or have three maxed out units. I added at least six Scarabs to each base, many people play these with just four but they are meant to be a swarm so more the better imho.
Every Dynastic Overlord needs a bodyguard, so my Lychguard and Praetorians so far. Think I will add some Warscythe wielding ones too, or maybe another 5 'sword and board'.
In 7th you could field a Destroyer Cult, so I built one, now just lots of Destroyers and two Heavy Destroyers converted using Tomb Blade Gauss Weapons, and led by a Destroyer Lord.
My Canoptek beasts, Canoptek Wraiths, of which I have another 9 to do; Canoptek Spyders and some Forge World Acanthracites - the Canoptek Mosquitoes.
The Obelisk I made when they were more effective at anti-air, now I guess it will not get much use, another purchase in the future will be a Tesseract Vault - it's quite an imposing vehicle so will definitely be coming soon(ish).
The main guy himself, his rules in 5th were really good, somewhat nerfed now, but I like the mini, I can always play as an Overlord. The Lord behind is the spare from the Annihilation Barge kit, and Vargard Obeyron the ideal bodyguard flanks him on the right.
There you have it, not a bad looking force, second to my beloved Space Marine Relictors Battle Company but still a sizeable force.
Thanks for checking this out and dropping by.

Cheers, Overlord Siph.

    1. Thanks Phil! I like to think them as effective Cybermen

    2. My thoughts exactly. I think of Necrons like the cybermen in `Earthshock'.

  2. Wow, there's a lot more there than I thought, they look excellent mate, and having faced them I heartily recommend you get some Lychguard too, they're nails! I'm also guessing it's only a matter of time until you get the big forgeworld nasty that Rob used on DZTV?

    1. Yes only 5 Sword and Board Lychguard so far, but I think a nice squad of ten with Warscythes could be good. A Tesseract Vault will be on the cards, its a great looking model and quite intimidating due to its sheer size, albeit random destructive power at the whim of the Star Gods...

  3. Line highlighting a Doomsday Ark is fun, in a catatonic sort of way. You have a Tomb Stalker! Oh, I say!! This is an impressive display of naked aggression. Your Dynasty puts my paltry Rusticrons to shame.

    1. Thanks mate, yes picked up a Tomb Stalker ages ago and then got a metal SM Dread in a 'garage sale' - ideal for a base ;) https://weemen.blogspot.com/2017/11/necron-tomb-stalker-on-ruined.html

  6. I just have this spare army knocking around that's fully painted ... 😂 Another hobby machine, Imotekh will be so proud! Amazing work.

  7. I really like your custom Barge, it looks like it might actually protect the overlord in it. The mini flying spyders are also pretty nifty.

    1. Mate, that’s a FW Tesseract Ark, great mini, not a Command Barge, but yes I can see why you said that, lol
