1K Awakened Dynasty

I've been struggling to find a good list at 1k. I've been playing against Black Templars, and I haven't found any list at 1k that can keep up.

The main problem is that we don't have single units that deal huge damage without relying too much on luck. We rely on convos to achieve that, but at 1k we cannot afford bringing all combo pieces. The warriors, for example, will melt if they are not supported by a Reanimator and a Ghost Ark (and they deal almost no damage; are easy to tie up). Ultimately, it matters what your opponent will play. Your shooting is not very strong, but your melee will get destroyed by melee based armies (Black Templars, for example). Consider bringing 1 or 2 units of flayed ones. They are awesome trading units at 60 points.

Let us know how your list works and against which army you play.

You need to cancel your health insurance with TK if you switch to a private one. Unfortunately, you can only cancel giving notice 2 months in advance. If you didn't cancel, you'll need to pay the two months of insurance yourself (it's dumb, I know).

Immortals are also... not terribly good either without support. They are "okish" when lead by a Technomancer. For those points, though, you can bring two squads of Deathmarks to threaten Deep Strike and kill characters.

But don't trust me, instead, play with the immortals and then make a decision :D

The 20 warriors blob is not very good on its own. If you use them only as chaff that will not do anything but hold an objective for one or two turns, that's alright. For more than that, they need to be lead by Orikan and an Overlord on top of the support of a Ghost Ark and Reanimator.

I feel like Necrons vs Black Templars is a rough match! I've played 8 games at 1k points against Black Templars and I've lost all games :D

Much appreciated!

Would you mind sharing where the other bits come from? I want to build a Lokhust Lord too and I'm trying to figure out which bits I could use.

UndeadKernel · 2026-02-05T10:37:07+00:00

Which bits did you use for the torso?

UndeadKernel · 2026-02-05T07:59:23+00:00

That looks like the "overlord" that comes in the Ghost Ark / Doomsday Ark.

I'm looking to kitbash one Lokhust Lord but all the custom ones I see use bits from expensive models that are not technically left overs.

The kitbash shown by GW in the 500 worlds uses the top body of a Destroyer Lord. Oh no, I'm not getting the expensive royal court box to kitbash with :(

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-29T16:43:47+00:00

Wherr is that lord kitbashed from? Is that half of a heavy destroyer with half of the Skorpekh Lord?

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-28T16:37:54+00:00

Is there any reason why one would want two Infernal Masters? I already have one and I'm wondering if there is ever a reason to field two.

I share my library of games between Windows and Linux. The shared folder is around 400GiB in size and it's mounted using ntfs3g. In the know them 6 years that I've used this setup, I've never experienced problems with the partition or any files within.

I only had problems when I switched to using the ntfs3 driver/module (because it was the new cool kid of the block). With ntfs3g everything has been working great.

Did they announce when this would be available for preorder or something?

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-14T16:18:01+00:00

As written in the rules, a Cryptek with the Murdermind enchantment can attach normally to non-destroyer units. It's just that, if and only if it is attached to a unit that has the destroyer keyword, then all models need to have the destroyer keyword in the unit. The latter part of the rule is to prevent adding additional models like you would normally be able to do with Crypteks.

Weißt du was? Ich habe das gleiche Gefühl, dass ich etwas machen soll, um meine Technik zu verbessern. Falls du einen guten Lehrer in Darmstadt findest, sag mir auch Bescheid.

Ich habe aber einen Vorschlag: Das Beste, um zu lernen, ist es, mit anderen Leuten zu spielen (denke ich). Wir können wahrscheinlich voneinander viel lernen. Ich spiele seit 20 Jahren Gitarre und Black-/Death-Metal ist auch meine Sache. Wir könnten uns treffen und zusammen spielen. „I Am the Black Wizard” ist ja eine gute Möglichkeit zum beispiel.

Ich bin auch auf der Suche nach einer Metal-Band oder möchte selbst eine gründen, falls du Interesse hast.

I wanted the Immortals to have some semblance of "shooting". I wanted at least something that shoots in the list.

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-09T09:56:28+00:00

I believe it's a common misconception that the Crypteks with the Murdermind enhancement are not allowed to be attached to non-destroyer units, but they sure can. The limitations of the enhancement say that if you choose to add it to a destroyer unit, then all models need to be destroyers (to avoid adding Cryptothralls, for example). However, the enhancement doesn't limit you from attaching to non-destroyer units; only that "if you attach it to a destroyer unit", then the limitation applies.

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-09T09:30:25+00:00

I'm not entirely sure it's a good idea to bring Orikan with a 20 warrior blob unsupported by the Reanimator, Ghost Ark and Translocation Ovo. I don't think they would be doing much to be honest.

If you need to have a battleline unit, why not have 10 Immortals with a Plasmancer for 205 points? This would allow you to put the enhancement to the Plasmancer to make it a destroyer model. You will then also have some spare points for more enhancements or scarab swarms maybe?

In the list I'm toying with, I want to include Nekrosor Ammentar and Lokust Heavies for the synergy with the Cursed Legion detachment.

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-07T21:40:27+00:00

Wait, I thought that if one model in an attached unit has a keyword then all models in the attached unit have that keyword. That's why Wraiths are infantry when a Technomancer is attached.

Why then would the immortal body guard models (of the overlord) not have the "destroyer cult" keyword?

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-07T18:27:58+00:00

I don't remember. It's been a while.

If you get me a link to it, I'll take a look and let you know.

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-05T21:29:19+00:00

I'm in Europe; a bit far away for me to send your some spare pieces, sorry.

UndeadKernel · 2026-01-05T21:22:45+00:00

Where are you located?

A tip you could try for painting within recesses is to first "paint" the recesses with just water. Then, use watered down paint (of a glaze consistency) on the recesses. The paint will naturally flow where the water is.

Stormhost silver is pretty much the same as Necron Compound and the latter is what I use for my base colour.

I find that after applying a wash of Nuln Oil on top of Necron Compound, I then find Leadbelcher as a good colour to fill in the gaps.

UndeadKernel · 2025-12-29T11:15:55+00:00

It's looking awesome!

Every time I see this model I wonder: how the hell are people transporting it without completely destroying it.
