Is there still a stigma with Necrons in most gaming groups? Whenever i tell people I play Necrons they give me a disappointed look. Nobody seems to mind when I say I play Blood Angels, though.

Mind Shackle Scarabs, Annihilation Barge spam, flying circus and basically managing to survive the edition shake-ups have made some people real salty about them.

EDIT: Is there a difference between the 30k Contemptor-Mortis and the 40k Contemptor-Mortis? I've only glanced through IA2 2d Ed so maybe it's BS4 there, but I'm pretty sure the 30k version is BS5.

In 40 gay they are BS4. Generaly speaking a mortis with dual kheres is a tad bit overcosted, but not by much. It's a great support unit.

It's only trying to do stuff like simultaneously glue two arms to a gun that I have issues. How does the Mephrit Dynasty stuff work? Wasn't there some weird verbage where you could conceivably use the Mephrit Dynasty relics with the main-book ones? A 50S RAYGUN fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Jan 31, 2015 |

Just finished an 1850 point 3-way free for all with me on Necrons, Stanyer89 on Knights/Blood Angels, and his brother on Tau. The Doomsday Ark and Doom Scythe are pretty loving good, S10 templates own. I also fielded a fresh unit of 6 Wraiths which basically tabled the Tau player by themselves. The Knights ended up killing my HQs and my big block of warriors but ended up dying to mass Gauss fire and S10 templates.

Nobody seems to mind when I say I play Blood Angels, though. A squad of 20 warriors will still strip one in a single rapid-fire volley, which is scary as hell if you run a lot of armour. If IG are popular in your area, then it's to be expected they aren't thrilled about facing 'crons.

To be fair, ultramarines that are sprayed, washed and drybrushed look like anus; You can get a decent looking necron force though.

My brother just posted some photos of our recent battle on the Frontline Gaming mat I got him for Christmas. I was Orks, he was Marines. Of note is the last picture, right before I rotated my Orky Vengeance Battery and shot his Chapter Master POINT. BLANK. IN. THE. FACE. It was pretty fantastic.quote:I've been working on a few new things, mostly terrain. I got a Frontline gaming cityscape mat (which is awesome, highly recommend!) and it's gotten me motivated to touch up my terrain for a nicer looking board. I've been touching up some of the old ugly building ruins, adding washes, highlights, and details, but I also started working on some new pieces. I made an Ork vengeance weapon battery that can also be used as a small bunker in some games, and a nice Ork base. Have a few more Ork themed terrain pieces to work on and will post pictures of those soon!

You can, yeah, since when Mephrit came out Necrons didn't have any other relics to be restricted from taking. Nightmare Shroud + Thermasite is crazy.

I like assembling and converting models more than almost anything else about the hobby and the Ghost Ark just about made me give up in frustration. It's just an incredibly tedious and yet still complex project with very poor instructions. And then you have to paint the drat thing, which is arguably even worse. It looks really cool and it's a great unit, but it's easily the most obnoxious plastic kit GW has ever produced.
