STOMP!

Yesterday was a festival of nerdity. The afternoon was devoted to Warhammer 40k, culminating in the completion of my trukk and a Warboss. I may put up some pictures of the trukk soon, but I think it could stand to face another round of orky red paint first. The Warboss will be handy, though, since I've been using an unpainted model from Assault

Sadly, the only Apocalypse-scale units applicable to the Necron is a resin model sold by ForgeWorld. I don't feel like parting with ~$120 per, regardless of how much I would love to have deep-striking planetary cannons.

Well, there's always the Monolith phalanx.

If I get any more monoliths, I think I'll need a monolith rack for my car.

Alternatively, you can just wear one as a hat.

Necrons seem tricky from an Apocalypse standpoint, since they're not really vehicle-heavy (in that they have exactly one). While everyone else busts out bigger and badder war machines, the Necrons are kind of stuck. I suppose they could come out with rules for bigger and badder Necrons (works for the Tyranids!), but that doesn't really seem like their style.

It's kind of sad, because if anything should evoke apocalypse, it's the thought of a full-on Necron purge. Maybe having the standard Necron troops in Ork numbers is scary enough.
