My C'tan has transcended, what's your excuse?

...and he shall be known as Bocephus

I am slowly plugging away at this whole "Necron Thing" that I've gotten myself into.  I wish all of the models were as easy as this guy was to paint.  (1) Prime with GW white spray; (2) Heavy wash with Thrakka Green; (3) Drybrush with Astronomicon Grey; (4) Drybrush with whatever the hell that new GW white drybrush paint is called.  The base, as with all of the bases in the army, is the Armageddon Dust texture paint with a drybrush of Ushabti Bone over the top.  The bases are simple at the moment, so they can be upgraded if I get the inspiration and/or energy & time to take them further.

No clever name for Lordy McLorderson as of yet.

I believe I regret posting a close up pic.  This guy definitely looks better at a distance...with better light...and a better camera...and a completely different model painted by someone better than me.  :)

We are making progress on our Tuesday night "Friendly" league.  We will model our elite choice tomorrow evening.  Since I'm already finished with that, I'll be working on the albatross that is my necron warriors.  There's always more of them to paint.  Additionally, I'd like to show up to our competitive league night on Thursday if only to take pictures.  It seems that all I'm reading about on the internet is how GW is failing (they are), and how the game is dying (it might be), and how everyone is abandoning the 40k ship (they might be, but not around here, that's for damn sure).

In any event, here's the official Team Snake Eyes stance on the current state of Warhammer 40k:  We don't give a crap.  We've spent too damn much money and time on our models that GW could decree that all hands must play the game in latin and that d100 dice will be used for every purpose and that any model from any book can be grammar school chums and benefit from each other's wargear and rules and we will straight up ignore that trash.  We'll play the version of the game we enjoy, with the models we've painstakingly collected over the years and poured our blood, sweat, tears, & wife-points (married chaps know where I'm coming from here) into modeling/converting and painting them.  Soldier on you ninny's.  Don't let the bad men tell you how to play with your dolls.

An Ancient Has Arrived

They say this cat Old School is a bad mother...
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Old School Terminator.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!


Yeah that's right, I went there. I can do that because I'm holding, in my hot little hands, one of the most beautiful models I've ever seen. This Ironclad Dreadnought was my prize for winning the Super Blog Chain Give-Away hosted by Dark Future Games. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, and those can be checked out here:

Here's another one with my newest Dreadnought standing tall amongst two of his three Black Reach brethren. At some point I hope to add a traditional dread as well as as a new venerable dread kit, and a couple more Ironclads...yeah, about that. The wife totally won't let me buy that much but it's nice to have goals right?

On a related note, none of my Chapter's ancients have names. Any suggestions for me?
