Necron Deathmark WIP/Kitbash

After putting together two boxes of immortals the left arms I had weren't long enough to reach the rifles so I came up with this work around. I used the heads and barrels from the deathmarks on warriors.

Triarch Stalker

I assembled the gun so I could just turn it around instead of magnetizing the options.

Doomsday/Ghost Ark

This is waaaay easier than magnetizing the whole thing.






All you have to do is cut off the middle bottom spikes and everything fits.

Necron Night/Doom Scythe

The only difference between the two on the models is transport beam or death ray. Neither option needs to be glued in and will stay on their own. The kit goes together well and I didn't have any fitting issues.

2nd Necron Monolith

Same as previous. I got a second monolith in trade and added some details.

Necron Monolith

I got a monolith in trade from a friend. I added some decals, paint accents, and scarabs to crawl over it.

Battle Report: 1k Necrons vs Grey Knights

Necrons vs Grey Knights: 1000 pts

Preliminary: Battlefield setup: The Scouring, 6 objectives, Vanguard Strike table setup

Warlord Traits: Necrons: Princeps of Deceit, Grey Knights: Conqueror of Cities

Turn order: Grey Knights won the roll off, and Necrons failed to seize the initiative.

Deployment:

The Grey Knights arrived with two Rhinos and their Commander. One Rhino was in the back field, while one was on the line, ready to surge forward. The Commander stood next to an objective within some trees.

My Necrons arrived with one warrior squad , Scarab Swarms, my Destroyer Lord with two Destroyers and two Heavy Destroyers, and one Spyder near the edge.

Turn 1:

The center Grey Knight Rhino moved to the center of the table, deploying a 5-man Grey Knight squad, and shooting at the Necron Warrior squad, killing one.

The downed Necron Warrior isn't down for long as it revives. The Necron Warrior squad, Destroyers, and Heavy Destroyers fire upon and kill entire Grey Knight squad.

Turn 2:

Two Grey Knight squads deep strike onto the battlefield, one behind the square tower, and one missing their mark deploying out in the open nearby the green tower. A Callidus Assassin deep strikes behind the Necron Warrior squad. The Grey Knight squad within the back field Rhino emerges to take control of an objective. Unleashing hell, the open Grey Knights fire at and kill one Destroyer and one Heavy Destroyer. The Rhino and other Grey Knight squad near the square tower fire upon the encroaching Scarab Swarms, causing three wounds. The Callidus Assassin kills 3 Warriors upon her arrival.

One Warrior and the Heavy Destroyer rise back up to fight another day! My Monolith then deep strikes into the back field, into the center of Grey Knight territory. Two warrior squads deploy, one from the Monolith, one walk in from the side behind the Callidus Assassin. Firing all its majesty, the Monolith kills three Grey Knights. The Monolith-deployed Warriors wreck the nearby Rhino. In the center of the battlefield, the Scarab Swarms wreck the other Rhino. The two Warrior squads fire and kill the now sandwiched Callidus Assassin. Emerging from cover, the Spyder fires on the nearby Grey Knight squad, and along with the Destroyer and Heavy Destroyers, take down the entire squad.

Turn 3:

The Grey Knights still holding an objective, fire upon and annihilates the entire Necron squad. They can't rise back up if there's no one left! Outraged, the Commander unleashes his Psycannon at the Monolith, but fails to damage the armor.

My Spyder, Destroyer, Heavy Destroyers, and Destroyer Lord all advance up the center of the battlefield. One of my Warrior squads redeploys out of the Monolith. The newly emerged Warriors fire upon and finish off the Grey Knight squad, clearing them off the objective. The Heavy Destroyers manage to cause one wound on the Commander. The Monolith unleashes upon the remaining Grey Knight squad, hunkering down in the corner woods, killing 4 of them.

Turn 4:

The Grey Knight Commander fires at the Monolith, still without causing damage. The remaining Grey Knight misses his Necron Warrior targets.

My Destoyers and Spyder continue moving up the center of the table. The Monolith positioned itself to suck the Commander into its portal, but failed to do so. Firing its cannons, the remaining Grey Knight is killed, leaving all attention on the Commander. The hail of gunfire from the Monolith, Destroyer Lords, and Destroyer bring him down to finish off the Grey Knights' force.

Necron Victory.

Victory Points:

Necrons: 13 (10 from objectives, 1 from Line Breaker, 2, from Slay the Warlord)

Grey Knights: 1 from First Blood

Lessons: This is my first major success on my own with 40k, and I feel this could not have gone much better for me. I feel my tactical decisions and unit placement worked very effectively. And while I was concerned with getting into close combat with the Grey Knights, I managed to keep them at bay.

4k pts of Apocalypse Space Marines vs Necrons & Tau

Why use a dry erase board for a 40k? Because being able to draw things like deployment zone on the table are awesome. Don't have any objective markers? Draw them on the table! Don't have any trees? Draw a tree line!
