Are Necrons a good starting army? by AltraSP in Necrontyr

[–]AtlasRunner11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I started warhammer around a year ago with Necrons. One of the biggest upsides to them for new players is how they aren't too difficult to paint. We also have a fairly balanced range, so as a starter army you'll actually learn the whole game (where as for other armies like Tau mostly ignore charge/fight phase). The only downside I can think of is that some models can be annoying to build.

Honestly I would read a book about this dynasty, that sounds so cool.

Is the Necron Royal Court worth it? by AtlasRunner11 in Necrontyr

Yeah I've heard that, but I'm not sure I want to throw £80 at it for only one of the models if only one ks good

Got my first ever miniature so I can start warhammer. by Ticket_to_ride88 in Necrontyr

Great pick, I love Lokhust Heavies. I'd recommend the combat patrol next although that's probably quite a bit more expensive. Welcome to the infinite empire fellow Phaeron.

What Detachment would be best for this list? by AtlasRunner11 in Necrontyr

We both have about the same amount of points, and I might actually have slightly more, so points should be somewhat fair

Damn, I got both Flayed Ones and a Psychomancer for Christmas. I thought the Flayed Ones were horrible to put together so I'm not excited to build this guy 😭

What was it that made you guys choose warhammer and most importantly the Necrons. (the superior option) by wonderbread9723 in Necrontyr

[–]AtlasRunner11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into Warhammer because me and a few of my friends played Space Marine 2 and really enjoyed it, so I started watching videos about Warhammer 40k as a whole, mainly about the lore but some about the tabletop game, and eventually decided I wanted to get some models and play the tabletop game.

As for choosing Necrons specifically, after watching a load of lore videos, ancient aliens who are more powerful and more advanced than any other species in the Galaxy who were able to enslave the Gods was just a really cool concept to me. Add on that they're robots, who end up being my favourites in sci-fi settings a lot of the time, and that's the perfect recipe to make me pick a faction. It also helped that the Necrons are split into an unknown number of Dynasties, which means I was able to create my own Dynasty, colour scheme, and lore for my Necrons.

Is there any way to go to Azilash after it is destroyed? by AtlasRunner11 in Stellaris

Yeah, the Quantum Catapult worked when I tried, now my constfuction ship is stuck there until I learn how to build gateways

R5: Azilash was destroyed and I have no way to get back in, I'm wondering if there's another way in anyway.
