Dakhma Dynasty; an almost fully-converted necron army

Hey guys!

I've been slowly rising my own Necron force. I'll start posting in here as well from now on, but on the mean time, check out my Converted Necron army.

Right now I'm cranking out Praetorians by duplicating an old wraith tail and the chest piece and rods from the base box. No leftover bits!!!

Hope you enjoy my work. Feel free to copy/draw inspiration from it. I know I've stolen a few ideas here and there myself!

Can I take inspiration/directly rip design from your epic ghost ark (for any future ones I do)?

Praeto-SORRY, Wraiths, are looking good so far. Given your paint scheme I think these guys will look quite good.

EDIT: Apparently those are, in fact, Praetorians. Huh. Misread some stuff I guess.

Those are, indeed, praetorians.

Blow you can see my wraiths and my Tomb Spider, not pictured on my showcase from the previous post.

I keep working on my tournament list by adding in some destroyers.

I copied the Heavy Gauss cannon from a Triarch Stalker to make heavy destroyers out of my regular ones. I think the weapon isn't as neat as the sniper-like cannon the original ones have, but I'm short on time and this will do nicely. I'm magnetizing it anyway so I can simply make a better one in the future if I want to.

Posted Image

I've finally finished casting all the rods, chest pieces and tails for a first Praetorian Squad. I'll make a new mold to get staff heads on the left hand for more variation, but I'm happy that I managed to get various poses wih the tails from a single original piece.

Posted Image

I did run into a setback, unfortunately. I checked the local humidity online and it read 70%, but I guess the app did not update properly and I unknowingly primed my first destroyer and the D-lord at something closer to 85% humidity. The result...

Posted Image

I'll be stripping them and starting over. I'm mostly upset about the time it'll take as I wanted to paint them this weekend.

I spent a good part of my Sunday assembling and converting this beast! 


I haven't done all weapon options yet since I'm dead focused on finishing my tournament list! 


I really liked the way it came out. As usual, my vehicles lack a pilot and are all automatons.

Really starting to get burnt out of getting these guys ready for the tournament.

I have the two heavy destroyers, Destroyer lord, five more praetorians, five Immortals and the stalker to paint. Could also use three more scarab bases.

At least I'm still getting things done. I've got a month to go still.

I have finally finished these guys! I especially liked the Destroyer death mask and the multi colored staff heads. I still need to improve my airbrushing, but it's getting the job done!

Right now the praetorian forge is hot as ever cranking out the second unit.

Posted Image

I'm also finishing more scarabs, a necron Destroyer Lord and Heavy Destroyer and the Triarch Stalker. I'm getting everyone to the pre-wash status as I'm running out of the Blue Shade from Vallejo and have to both maximize its use and make sure I get the most impacted miniatures washed first. That means the Stalker may sit unfinished for a while as I think it's more important to have a consistent look throughout my infantry line.

Thanks!

I've finished the two Heavy Destroyers and the Destroyer Lord! I did a last-minute change to him and added the extra sword. I think it adds character and makes he feel very menacing like this. I also made it so his Grav-platform is reeling back to simulate him stopping at the last minute to deliver his sword cut!

Posted Image

I've also finihsed assembling the last remaining five Praetorians.

Posted Image

I'm holding back from finishing the Stalker and Scarabs because I fear I'll run out of Blue Wassh. So tense! I've already ordered some, but getting things delivered to Brazil is always prone to nasty surprizes!

I'm finally finished with the Army and have had a few games already. I feel happy about the list and though it's not an ace tier list it should do well in the tournament if I don't make any huge mistakes.

First off, let me share a few pictures of the massed forces for this 1850pts list.

Posted Image

Posted Image
The Destroyer lord leads the Canoptek Wraith unit across the battlefield.

Posted Image
My Zealous Tomb Spider bursts forth from the Ground with repair sub-routines. In the background, the Canoptek Tentilla heavy artillery piece.

Posted Image
The Dakhma Judicators, a caste of warrior-crypteks that wield the fearsome Rod of the Covenants and oversee that the Canoptek constructs oft he Dynasty are performing as intended on the battlefield.

Posted Image
Dakhma Immortals are the elite infantry of the army.

Posted Image
Autharok on his Reaper Raiment commands the forces of Dakhma at the very front of the battle.

Posted Image
The Dakhma Stalker and Heavy Destroyers secure the backline and provide supporting fire for the foot infantry in the mid-field.

Posted Image
Dakhma Canoptek Scarabs show the progress and experiments of the Dakhma Crypteks in their search of the perfect killing machine.

Posted Image
Nasayan, the reaper is the fearsome leader of the Destroyer Cult of Dakhma.
Below are a couple pictures of two games I played against a friend's Ynnari.

The first one was a total victory as my Scarabs held his deathstar into a crater for the entiraty of the game. The praetorians flew about the board hunting down the scattered units of Eldar and the only unfortunate event was the fact that the Avatar of Ynnead dropped right behind my main formation!

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

The second game was much more brutal and I lost due to a mistake I will not repeat! I basically over-extended my Tomb Blades and that let him connect after a soulburst move and start the chain. The MvPs of that game were still the Scarabs tying up his deathstar, but the Avatar managed to kill the Wraiths, Destroyer Lord and Command Barge. Was a great game.

The big day is very near and I'm packing my army for the trip. But I took some moments to capture some pictures of it for you!

Below are my 1850pts of battle ready Necrons. The list is a 7th edition Decurion and a CAD with a canoptek harvest and sentry pylons. The big structure is a void shield generator to protect the pylons a bit on the first turn, should I lose initiative.

Hope you enjoy!

Leading the army is my "objective 1", a cute baby wraith.

Posted Image

My scarab swarms are meant to be real swarms!

Posted Image

The Destroyer lord Nassayan leads the force, eager to prove his value to Autharok.

Posted Image

Autharok is here to report back to his Nemesor how his new weapons fare in battle. He oversees all from atop his reaper raiment.

Posted Image

The three Canoptek Tentilla (counts as Sentry Pylons) will see real battle for the first time. They are simply the tentacles of something gar sinister lurking underground...

Some extra pictures at my blog [url="https://wargamingrebel.blogspot.com.br/2017/08/40k-necron-army-showcase-dakhma-dynasty.html"]Wargaming Rebel[/URL].


I was able to secure 2nd place as best general, 1st place as most impressive army and that net me the General Champion of the event trophy!

Posted Image


Round 1 vs Blood Angels
MVP: Pylons, eating away the entirey of his armor and the contents within.
Memorable moment: Immortals glancing down the Dread.
Posted Image
Posted Image
Result: Total Victory

Round 2 vs Innari
MVP: Scarabs tying up his deathstar for most of the game.
Second MVP: A Tyranid spire that funneled his Deathstar into scarab wall!
Memorable Moment: Splitting his forces across the table to deny Soulburst actions and my opponent complaining that I hadn't killed any of his units at key points to deny that as well!
Posted Image
Posted Image
Result: Total Victory

Round 3 vs Space Marines
MVP: Autharok on his Reaper Raiment, charging again and again to try and keep some slim chance of victory after losing all three artillery pieces on round 1.
Memorable moment: That initial bike engagement. It caught me by surprize and cost me the game. Well played Khan!
Posted Image
Posted Image
Result: Total Defeat

Round 4 vs Black Templars
MVP: Sentry Pylons, eating all his soft armor support (land raiders are tough) and clearing away every last one of the Black Templar assault mob.
Memorable Moment: Nassayan Charge on assault Terminators, cutting them down to the last man in a single round of combat.
Posted Image
Result: Total Victory

Round 5 vs T'au
MVP: Void Shield Generator for eating the entirety of his first round of shooting and forcing Farsight and his Killsquad to deal with it on Turn 2.
Memorable moment: Turn 2 Necron Assault Phase when every warrior available multi-charged several Tau Suits, negating their threat, at the same time the two Tomb Blade units across the field charged even more T'au suits. We remaigned locked in combat to the very end.

Wow. Sounds like it was a blast. Makes me want to play in tournaments more often. I love those games where something unexpected happens and you're reeling to recover and it ends up coming down the whether or not the game continues or if your few remaining warriors can survive to hold back the enemy.

It was lots of fun. I was exausted on the third round on day1, but was all very rewarding and the battles fought there will be remembered in eternity! There where a bunch of photographers, both random atendees, other participants and professionals and I'm eager to see the results of their accounts.

The games themselves were all very good, my opponents all had excellent sportsmanship, even in the face of defeat.

I've been hit by a sudden inspiration and assembled and painted my old Deceiver model.

Looks great. Is that by brush or are you airbrushing it on?

I used an Airbrush to get most basic transitions, then blended the highlights on with glazes.

Long time since my last post. Things have been moving.

I've had time to put some more color in more demons for my wife's army:

I also got some Gauss Pylon Counts-as from TTCombat finished for my crons:

As well as finishing a set of hills and cliffs so we can play at home when we don't feel like going over to the club.

Looking good. Only slightly jealous of your skills. :P That table looks fantastic. Lots of work from the looks of your blog. I also love the flames on the daemons. Very well done. Keep posting!

I managed to squeeze in more five deathmark drones so I can have a shot at taking down the changeling when playing against my wife's tzeench Demons.

As for the demon Prince, it'll have to wait a bit at this stage until I get more of her army table top ready. My plan is to finish a few more units (she loves screamers) and then I'll finish a few heralds to nail down the final colors and effects I'll be using. Then the first piece I'll work on is that guy. He's just too awesome bit to!
