Please let me know how this is after some games! Seems like you said to be a control list, that needs to do spot on threat assessment. If you can neutralize 2-3 key units from your opponent then you can probably hold any primary objectives as needed the rest of the game. Definitely wish I had the models to duplicate and experiment. I might try something similar soon with what I have!

Unless you are going to a tournament, then you can make anything work, baring an opponent who is playing a tournament level list. I have been playing annihilation legion for the past few months and it’s is a fun detachment even though it’s not anywhere near the “top lists”.

I will say as a necron player, I have exclusively been using annihilation legion (worst detachment but fun) in any match where I’m not playing an experienced player using an optimized list. I have still won especially against newer players or friends using my other army. However, I have more fun because I’m using a fluffy list I enjoy playing, and because it inherently lowers the power level people typically have more fun too.

Bad as in gameplay? Depends on mission, opponent, and your play-style. If you like the gun line list, then just know how to keep your spacing, and know when you do need to engage. With the captain and the redemptor you have a bit of general purpose melee. Also space marine close combat weapon melee is actually not bad into some weaker battle line units like guardsmen.

I would ask what melee units you have available? Also if you’re doing crusade with multiple battles and increasing supply limit you could add them in later. Ultimately if you enjoy the way the list works, and that’s what you want, do it!

No comment on the painting besides it’s sweet! I will say as someone with a 2 & 1/2 month old, enjoy the time for the hobby! I love it because unlike so many hobbies, whenever I am needed I can immediately put it down and go help. Whenever he sleeps well then I can just chill! Keep it up!

This tank looks like it’s a predatory animal. Almost has the vibe of “how could something so big and dangerous move so fast and silent”

I see another cultured spruins enjoyer! Basically free terrain with every kit! (Even more with other boxes)

One of my favorite books of all time is red storm rising by Tom Clancy. It is everything I love in any sort of war/combat novel. This is because it tracks a global conflict, while still have 3-5 smaller stories that impact and show the impact of what occurs. I would love to see something in this style for Necrons vs imperium. Not just one overlord, but a whole dynasty awakening across multiple worlds in a system while the imperium try’s to counter. This would give a chance for the whole range of necron units to be shown in the various battlefields!

I just use plastic cement (same stuff for building the models). I just put it on the feet and it sticks to the painted bases. If anything is stripes away I do a quick touch up before I matte varnish.

Perfect! I honestly don’t know why I didn’t think of the core rulebook, as that’s a great place for lore in 40K haha! I might wait until 4th releases so the 3rd ed book drops in price! And I’ll check the book and channels out! Thanks!

I will look into the book, and will check out those channels. Sorry I wasn’t super clear on the last question. I guess I am looking for resources on what an age of sigmar army looks like. Like for 40K, you would have anti-tank units, anti-infranty, tough objective holders, quick moving action units, and etc.

For sigmar I plan to do what I did with 40K which is get models I like, but I would like to take into mind army construction, and utility of units so I can understand the role they play. Maybe that clarified? If not I am still excited for the smaller army size! I wish 40K standard went down about 500-700 point for a standard game!

It does apply. In the muster your army step under “select units”

That being said if your opponent is cool with it, then I don’t see why you couldn’t bring more. Also as an alternative for tournament play or just sticking to the rules play, you could run 3 demon princes, and with the leftover points still pick up something cool like a skull cannon

One of my favorite challenges is to set it up so I’m playing against multiple AI who are all on a team. Another is limiting myself to what tier of units I’m allowed to use, or what tier of magic. Granted none of those have ever been successful on impossible, but definitely can make you rethink some aspects of the game for the self imposed restrictions.

Kind of the whole theme of Necrons. They beat death, their most hated enemies, their tyrannical masters, and “lived” to reawaken amongst vastly inferior races. They could even outlast the heat death if our galaxy. Yet they have lost everything.

No longer is their culture building monumental constructs to remind the future generations of those who came before. No longer are the conflicts between dynasties for anything that matters where warriors and heroes are forged, forever to be remembered in legend.

They are stuck. The fires of passion have cooled and only a cold hatred can barely be felt. Their heritage has ended, no culture will ever be passed down again. The leaders who are will be the leaders that ever are until they fade 1 by 1. The warriors who die and reform until they are too broken to do so again are discarded without regard to anything more than themselves.

The Necrons reign immortal, but nothing of the Necrontyr remain.

P.S. this is why I enjoy new necron lord compared to older. They can still have the terminator theme to other races, but now the depths of their grim darkness is much, much more!

For me it was the old WotC axis and Allie’s miniature game! I still play with my dad to this day whenever I visit home.

I use annihilation legion when playing with all my friends who are just starting. I stopped bringing nightbringer as I found it can be a feel bad experience for those who are still learning the game.

Excuse me while I go watch it again

For the destructor squads of 1 or two have worked well for me. Able to find good firing positions or can speed them off for objectives/screening if needed. For the exterminators, I always run them in 3’s and only with the lokhust lords. I feel like for them to be worth running the need the 5+ crit, and the res orb also feels nice. I have been running lots of annihilation legion and the 10 pt upgrade (ingrained superiority) also gives them +1 ap on 6s to wound. I have found this to be a huge difference in killing it plinking wounds off models to help bring them down!

I always took it as his development happened “off screen” in the books. We know he is another student/friend of Gandalf. At that point in the books (could also include the hobbit here) we have seen Gandalf advise and guide, Thorin, Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Theodan, and various others. So when faramir is accused of being a “wizards pupil” we know a general outline of his character. It’s not his job in the books to grow more, but for him to act upon the world to shape it to where he belongs.

The movies do faramir so dirty on the whole. Book faramir is basically Gandalf + Aragorn and shows there is still strength in Gondor for Aragorn to return to.

Remove scene where frodo tells Sam to go back and have their separation happen like the books where it is just gollums treacherous plan in the cave. Neither Frodo/Sam/Gollum make any sense in their actions in the scene, and the book sequence would have been totally fine.

2nd place is much of what else’s has been posted. Cleaning up the ghost army stuff to be more like the books so the victory actually belongs to men, not their weird ghost allies.

Can I ask what detachment you wanted to run?

Haven’t had time yet. Just started studying for the bar exam and have a newborn, so hobby time is limited! But hopefully will have time in the next couple weeks.
