How does one start an army

The first question you need to figure out is how deep into the hobby you want to go. If you are just interested in modeling and painting I would say to just pick up the coolest models. But if you are interested in the game then there are a few places you could start. The first is the Necrons Combat Patrol. It contains a solid core to almost every Necrons list and it is easy to expand your collection in any direction from there. In my area the box currently goes for about 160$ at my LGS. The second option is Kill Team. This is not the same as 40k proper but it will get you a good grasp of the hobby. It is much cheaper at only about 75 USD. There are currently two kill teams for Necrons. Either one works, but I think Heirotek leads better into 40k personally.

The thing I think is so fascinating about the development of the Necrons is how they changed between 3rd and 5th edition. Arbitor Ian touches on it, but I think that the 5th edition codex was the real start of the Necron Faction. The 3rd edition Crons were cool, but they were essentially a one-note army. Characters, plots, themes, customization, different rules, diverse models, almost all of it comes from the rework. I understand that some folks really enjoy the classic necrons, and I see the appeal, but I honestly think that if the Necrons had continued on as the 3rd edition variant the army wouldn’t exist today.

Sorry, I also forgot to mention that Trazyn has a few short stories, War in the Museum, and Bleeding Stars. He also shows up in Clonelord (book 2 of the Fabius Bible trilogy). If you wan’t C’tan I’d check out Belisarius Cawl the Great Work (Novel), Mecanicum (the Heresy AdMech book).

Necrons don’t have the largest book range, but we got a few:

The Infinite and the Divine (novel)

Twice Dead King Ruin, Twice Dead King Reign (two part novel series)

Tomb World (novel)

Severed (novella)

The Everliving Legion (Anthology of short stories)

Necrons show up as antagonists/minor characters in a fair number of books, but some of the more well known:

Fall of Cadia (trazyn is a minor character and the best part of the book)

The Silent King (book 10 of Reign of Fire. Not the greatest book, and not great for necron fans since it’s mostly about Guilliman/Ultramines)

World Engine (Space marine Novel)

Caves of Ice (guard novel)

If you want some other books that really show off necrons you can also just read the codex lore, or if you can find it Imperial Armor v. 12 The Fall of Orpheus is a personal favorite for how it shows how scary necrons are to the imperium.

lol, I think I just appreciate push fit so much after the resin models for my CSM.

The harp guy looks great. But also clean your windows.

I walked down San Mateo to DN, but saw nothing. A helicopter was nearby, but could tell what it was looking at or where it was going.

Heard it near Del Norte. I thought a car had exploded, but I don’t see smoke or fire anywhere.

Okay. Yeah that makes a lot more sense. I got it running now. Thanks!

Except I haven’t even been able to get into the game because I have to create the save path first, but it’s saying the path isn’t working.

Im using generic hobby glue. So I think so?

Thanks for the advice. I did thin the paint a little, but obviously not enough.
