| Quote (TuffSkull @ 20 2003 Nov.,17:06) | I have reference these board in a number of emails to Fanatic with regards to various specific topics.
I also know various members of the Forgeworld / Fanatic frequented the old epic40k.com site for articles if not the forums (since various team members emailed me after reading articles/reviews of their work or other stuff that interested them).
I wouldnt be at all suprised if we had some lurkers from within the ranks of the Studio(s) ? ? |
As have I referenced the boards in the occassional email.
I would not be surprised if they lurk (WE KNOW YOU ARE OUT THERE. SHOW YOURSELVES!).
But, I would doubt very much if they would post. Jervis mentioned a while ago that he stopped looking at outside forums or groups in the main as it ate away his time and was only limited in use._________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

erh.. well the topic title pretty much says it all...
If somone haven't noticed the official Necron List is up in the Vault. Looks pretty good (though I'm not really a fan of Necrons) -an increddibly tough army: almost all units seem to have reinforced armour! Also some pretty nifty special rules.
Check it out! 
Cheers!

Cool list! Not many units, but all tough! Anybody have any idea what to proxy them with (for the next couple of years )?

Hi!
The best proxies are old epic SM chaos androids or Global games Inferno skeletons, but unfortunately are both very hard to come across.
In net epic Necrons in service of the slann use "battlesuits" so we use battletech inner sphere power armor, but that may be too specific to our fluff for use as a standard GW necron proxy.
Irrgeular makes 6mm skeletons for fantasy, with some conversions on your part they'd make good necrons.

Just d/l'ed the list. Gonna have a read soon, but from what do I hear some things aren't as they should be. (Reinforced Armour on pretty much everything??? Jeez, that's just nuts!)

Global Games made 6mm figs?
I remember the guy who got me into gaming started with Planetstorm/Legions of Steel as his first game, and his dad knew the game designer who sold minis from his house apparently.
And yes, I'd be inclined to check out 6mm skeletons myself for Necrons.
As for the reinforced armour on everything, I haven't looked at the list yet, but as long as they cost boatloads of points I can see it - after all, they have a roughly 50% chance of self repairing according to the background if shot up.
EDIT: Well, I read the list. I can understand the whole thing with Inspiring representing the anti-inspiration these units provide to the enemy, but that doesn't really make sense for the Necron Lord. The Flayed Ones represent an utterly visceral fear - the skin of what could very well be your buddy Joe who disappeared when investigating the planet you're on earlier could well be that skin. The Pariahs cause a psychological revulsion, and so that's understandable. As are the C'Tan - standing in front of entities of such a level that they measure energy by the output of multiple stars would be fairly... disgruntling, to say the least.
But the Lord? It's not really all that different looking from the rest of the 'Crons. Bigger head, I suppose, and the staff. I mean, if I managed to stay gruntled fighitng millenia old beings that looked like skeletons, I think I could still remain gruntled while fighting one with a bigger hat.
