Necron review fast, Canoptek Wraith

When a Necron world slumbers not everything is shutdown; there are repairs to be made, equipment maintenance and a constant watch kept. The bulk of the Necrons will not be doing this. They do not pull shifts while they sit in stasis. Instead they built an advanced watchdog/repairman to fulfill these roles.

Wraiths now..............

They are Canoptek Wraith and they are as helpful as they are deadly. They have a modified phase shifter that is used to help them with repairs. They can move through the giant machines that power Necron worlds and work within them. They are able to sort of blink into and out of reality. It is much easier to make repairs from inside these machines than taking them apart to solve the problem. This is also handy for combat as it allows them to move through terrain the same way.

More Chaos stuff finished

My rouge Relictors and Mechanicus just received some reinforcements. The raids on the various Imperial Forgeworlds have given their force these....Legio Cybernetica robots. They were long ago locked away, but were discovered during the latest raid on Forgeworld (name stricken from Imperial record). They now serve to refill the ranks of the Relictors.

Sometimes the internet gives me a happy!

Necron review fast, Tomb Blades

The first fast attack unit I’ll cover is the rookie. The other units are old standouts that have been tweaked a bit. We all know them, so why not start fresh.

The Tomb Blades were originally used for combat in outer space. They were released in droves to take out capital ships with gauss and tesla fire. Then the Necron higher-ups thought they would make great planetside combatants as well. Now these are super agile pre-programmed jetbike robots. They follow a set of combat programs until they need to adapt. Then they just cycle through the list of kill-bot protocols to find the next best option and continue the fight. This is done so super fast that it doesn’t affect their battlefield performance.

1st Herald for demons done!

Another one from the backlog of stuff was this Khorne following beastman or is it a Khornegor?

He was a gift from our Raffi (Tom). Thought he would make for a suitable herald. He does have the symbols, armor and skulls to prove his allegiance.

Necron review elites, Flayed Ones

When the Necrons were doing their War in Heaven bit, they used the C’Tan. Well after it was said and done they thought it would be best to destroy the same C’Tan that helped them. One of these was Llandu’gor “the flayer.” He was obliterated by the Necrons, but before he was gone, he cursed them. His curse would spread like a disease through the Necrons and cause them to have a bit of his terrible hunger. After a while it was laughed off, if robots laugh. However, there were some Necrons who got all crazy, craved blood and got themselves blade fingers. They began to just appear during conflicts to revel in the blood and gore. Then they would disappear as the battle waned and the carnage subsided.

I made them, so I guess I'll need to use them

Well the Necron higher ups didn’t like this and started to hunt down these Flayed Ones to stop the spread of their curse. However, they tend to hide in a pocket dimension, but not the same one the Deathmarks use, and are hard to destroy. There even are some Necron leaders that like when the Flayed Ones arrive during a conflict. They sow discord and give aid whether it is needed or not. The Flayed Ones area blessing and a curse, or are they?

The last of the Immortals

I have fleshed out my Immortal squads with these last three guys. This will give me two squads of nine and I think that is acceptable.  I like 7-10 guys in my troop squads, unless I can take up to 10+ in the squad.

While on a painting resupply run at my favorite online miniature store, ChaosOrc's, I saw a listing for cheap old Immortals. I couldn't pass it up.
