There are two models available, one with a resurrection orb and one with a warscythe. Both models are fantastic, but I have to admit that I like the latter more. Anyway I will treat both models equally in this post.
So what do I like about the model?
I think it represents exactly how I would imagine a necron lord!

There has been quite some trash-talk against GW on the blogs and forums in the last couple of weeks. And to be honest, GW deserved it, no doubt. Imperial Guard and silly Grey Knights wrecking 40k, Chaos Demons wrecking WHFB, stupid White Dwarf releases, pathetic fineca$t quality and of course the inappropriate prize increases. This has all been discussed for some time in numerous posts.

The first round of our campaign neble2.blogspot.com is over and we hat 3 battles in this round. News, an updated map and more are now up on the campaign site.
I managed to win 2 of 3 games with my orks, only against the Tyranids I ended up with a draw. Not bad considering that I use a list that is very cobbled together. All games were fun kinda close.

The reasons are simple, I did not need any so far. All my 40k armies work perfectly fine without metal or finecast models and indeed at this point I don't see any change in the near future.
For me this is quiet brilliant, because I have never been a fan of metal models and love plastic models much more (yes yes, this discussion is Gewaltatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379117452534287544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728211356415367474.post-43980791042914748862011-07-15T13:57:00.003+02:002011-07-25T10:36:16.768+02:00Test WaaaaghReview of my first game with Orks against tyranids as a test for our upcoming campaign.

Part II: Hexfields
Part II of my tutorial on how to do a quick campaign map, will explain how to add hexfields.
In part 1 of the this tutorial we did the background for our actual map with gimp. In this second part we will focus on adding the real map. I decided to use a hexagonal structure, not just because of its beauty, but also because it is a well established system for campaign maps and works great.

here is the first part of my tutorial on how to make campaign maps with the computer.
Dome time ago I did a map for our 40k campaign.
I decided to do it with vector graphics because then it would be possible to rescale the map at any time. Secondly, I decided to work as much as possible with layers to ensure that certain elements on the map can be (re)moved/added or changed easily, Gewaltatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379117452534287544noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728211356415367474.post-68635230532483520442010-11-29T00:18:00.004+01:002010-11-29T10:06:24.892+01:00Sharing dice

A short article on how time, space and dice can be saved during a match and increase the fun.
As we all know, when it comes to throwing dice nearly every player has his own habits and usually brings his own dice. All kinds of colours, sizes and throwing techniques, such as screaming out the needed results to hopefully influence the fortune, appear.

he was basically fielding:
- Herold on Juggernaut w/ 2 or 3 Bloodcrushers
- 3 Flamers
- 10 Horrors with standard bearer/icon and the Changeling (if that was his name)

We were just able to play the first of our two games, the Kill-Team match. It was won by the loyal alliance. Allthough this game was very funny and very fast, the campaign-start could not have gone any worse. Disappointed, I hope to find some motivation to set up a second meeting.

The rules are (up to small modifications in the size of the armies) set and delivered to all players. Unfortunately the rule book is in german and contains graphics without permission, so I will not post them here officially.

Well, I somehow overcame my painting blockade by halving the number of space marines on my painting desk. I've read a lot of this very nice articles about how to keep painting and how to overcome such blockades and I must say, by splitting up the things that need to be done it is much more easier!
