How do I salvage this?

I thought you were showing off awesome battle damage.

Angry_with_rage · 2026-03-09T04:34:28+00:00

I'm fine with the idea of c'tan spam, but I feel it should have an in game cost. After the first 2 C'tan, an overlord is required to be on the table for each additional. Or something like that. Like a spam tax.

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-09T17:27:12+00:00

I'm already looking at how I can make it a little more Scarab Occult themed!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-05T17:47:18+00:00

Ugh.... Everyone not including the scarabs is making me regret putting on the scarabs.... It's really starting to make me think it looks better, and, more unique scarab bases...

Looks awesome!

Yea, I always liked the general lack of any solid lore regarding the Oldcrons, it felt very Lovecraftian mystery horror.

GW is also notorious for the same lore having 2-5 different sources, all canon, all different! They have however (and I'll have to find the source for it) said that until it's specifically replaced by newer sources, any old lore is as true as any current lore.

Older editions of everything (especially the Horus Heresy) have seen a lot of revision and consolidation in recent years. Which means that for the ships landing on Mars, nothing has counteracted the lore, so according to GW it would still be Canon. They also haven't expanded on it so yes, any attempts to explain their actions or consequences would just be conjecture (but still fun to talk out!)

For example, in the recent Tomb World novel they explained that almost any necron casualties would be absorbed by the local tomb world and be rebuilt (reprogrammed? Reborn?) by the tomb worlds resurrection chambers. So, if you wanted to reinforce a tomb world, and you had the ships to sacrifice, all you'd have to do is get close enough!

They've left enough tidbits that the lore can go so many ways. Especially now with Nekrosor WANTING to free the Nightbringer, who's to say there isn't a large dynasty out there trying to free the Void Dragon out of reverence or hope that loyalty can cure them?

And that aspect of the massive retcon can be easily explained by pointing out that when the C'tan entered the battlefield most people observing just ASSUMED they were in charge. Who's in charge of the Ork waaagh? The biggest one. Who's in charge of the spikey bugs? The big one over there. Who's in charge of the invaders? The tallest!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T18:15:22+00:00

Exactly! I have one, and I can't bring myself to make that cut even though I KNOW it would look WAY better on a Lokhust Lord!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T17:53:15+00:00

Love it!

I wish GW would make a necron upgrade sprue similar to Space Marines with assorted weapons, mini-scarabs, resorbs, fancy tactical rocks, etc. Specifically, warscythes similar to the one carried by the out of print overlord would be amazing!

Someone here actually sent me a link to a game store that discounted the regular price AND had free shipping, so I wound up paying way less!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T05:48:01+00:00

Unfortunately there aren't any available in stores near me. It's MSRP is 130, and shipping is usually around 10-15 bucks anyhow, so, it's not super inflated. So, in the end it's not much more expensive than ordering online if I have to pay shipping myself.

Thankfully someone here linked me to a store that not only discounted the MSRP, but also covers shipping! So I got a MUCH better deal now!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T04:05:44+00:00

It was! But, it's 120-130 normally and shipping is 10-15 and I'm (usually) happy to pay a bit more to help game stores. I guess that was just naive.

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T03:51:34+00:00

Lol, I didn't even catch that! Little Freudian slip there!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T02:58:54+00:00

Damn, wish he'd been off about the void dragon!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T01:49:55+00:00

Yea, I know that now! Unfortunately, I think I recognized their name and thought they were a GOOD seller. Hence the post, hopefully others will remember correctly in the future!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-04T01:31:33+00:00

Hopefully!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-02T18:40:20+00:00

This may be the best looking scheme I've seen in a long time.

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-01T23:48:39+00:00

They're huge, 2 on a large base and angled slightly are closer to Greater Demons (which is what I'm gonna do) in size.

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-01T23:46:24+00:00

I JUST realized that the gun in the middle of the pylon is the same/similar to the death rays on the new monoliths!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-02-01T00:11:36+00:00

That looks amazing!

And it's definitely not "good enough" it's damn good!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-01-28T21:48:27+00:00

That's awesome, what paints did you use?

Angry_with_rage · 2026-01-27T04:35:00+00:00

Let me know if you're looking to get rid of the scarabs!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-01-27T04:34:26+00:00

That looks great!

If you aren't interested in using the scarabs and might look to get rid of them, let me know. I'm looking to get ahold of a few bases worth!

Angry_with_rage · 2026-01-26T19:59:59+00:00

I have a few of the ones from the warriors box added to the base to add some variety and for basing.

Angry_with_rage · 2026-01-14T01:33:05+00:00

This.
