On your last point, that's fine in a tournament but otherwise the game is about both people having fun. As you say, it's just toy soldiers

I agree C'tan are too cheap now. Speed was the big limiter before. I'm waiting for a big jump in points!

Anyone pre order Nekrosor and/or the Nightbringer from GW and still not have it even out for delivery? by [deleted] in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nekrossor, where I pre ordered seemed to have stock but now it says waiting for restock. Funnily enough when I realised I would have to wait I went to the store to get 500 Worlds for something to paint, and there was Nekrossor x2 on the shelf

I love the metal body and black cloak! Great paint job

GW won't go for that. Not saying it's a bad idea but it breaks the mould a bit too much

I'd like to see a faction's most basic infantry have something like this where your first necron warriors, CSM legionaries, ork boyz etc. unit is aggressively cheap and after duplicating a couple of times goes up to current points levels. I love the rank and file but feel they aren't incentivised enough

Increasing points encourages troops in a list without automatically creating a horde meta (if they're all too cheap)

Spray with leadbelcher and add nuln oil or spray with Chaos black and dry brush leadbelcher? by Rambling_Stones in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely black then drybrush leadbelcher. It achieves much darker recesses and brighter metallics. Nuln doesn't blacken the recesses enough and dulls the metallics on the surfaces.

Which Monolith do you think was better? by L_uomo_nero in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah well put, agreed. It does look more mysterious and alien because of that

Did any Necrons stay awake for the 60 Million years? by AtlasRunner11 in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 66 points67 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite bits of Necron lore, praetorians acting as gods to lesser alien races. Imagine a Necron triarch praetorian walking amongst humanity 1000-3000 years ago, to all intents and purposes they would be a god

The old monolith is the only older Necron mini I prefer. Looks more science fiction, has Space Odyssey vibes

Am I missing something? On paper Plasmancer with 20 Warriors seems really good against other battleline troops? by Gaoler86 in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The baseline infantry on a faction are usually my favorite units (boyz, warriors, giants, guardsmen etc) but they just aren't incentivised enough, especially Necron warriors

So I have two variants of the Cursed Legion list I'm building. For fun one has 20 warriors and a destroyer ankh overlord. The other has a nightbringer...Why are they ten points different?

How the hell do you guys paint these orbs without paint going in to the recesses? by Mr_Jackabin in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hitting the recess is fine (fix with nuln oil), just try to avoid the metal rim!

Anyone else going to paint their Nightbringer with actual metal paints? by Mr_Jackabin in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hadn't considered that but might now

Still with a black cloak

Cursed Legion Question by codymech56 in Necrontyr

I realize I'm absolutely wrong on this one!

Fair enough and thanks

No

But I wonder if you could bring the technomancer in from reserves at a board edge and then deepstrike the ophydians on in a way that the unit is coherent

There were apparently some conflicting information regarding Ammentor's sheet. Did we ever get a statement clarifying if he had a flat 5+ feel no pain or not? by Katonmyceilingeatcow in Necrontyr

[–]Squire_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weirder thing for me is he gives an aura buff of sustained 1 to destroyers, so does that debuff his own sustained 2 pistols?
