Battleforce Blog: Necrons Incomming!

January 16th 2010 -

Sorry Ravenwing, you’re on hold for a month!

My local GW (Middlesbrough) are holding a Battleforce contest,
Basically you purchase a battleforce and build your army from it, you need to make a HQ and a troops and the rest can be whatever you like.
You can use ONLY the contents of the box (along with Greenstuff, pins and modelling materials etc).

So I decided to pick up the Necron battle force, the contents are rather cool, 28 warriors is a great solid force considering what I’ll be facing (the marine one for example, 15 marines, 5 assault marines (one will be a HQ somewhere) and a rhino, pfft!).

My original plan was 26 warriors, 3 destroyers, the 6 scarabs and a lord on foot.
After looking at the contents and the sprues, I realised I can potentially, with a lot of conversion work, get the following:

Destroyer Lord
Lord on Foot
6 Immortals
6 Flayed ones
12 Warriors
10 scarabs
2 Heavy Destroyers.

Point wise it doesnt matter what I have, but with the Lord all geared up and the Scarabs with D-fields, it comes to 1192!

Here are the models I’ve done so far:
4 warriors, an immortal, a destroyer Lord, 10 scarabs (one pictured)

Oh, and I have to get them all built and painted by mid Feb!
