I'm back to looking at Irregular for feral ork proxies. I have a feeling that armored war mammoths with howdah would make good squiggoths and that their onagers would make good squig catapults.
I may even order a warmaster lizardman beastie to use as the archeosaurus (latest FO war engine).
But nothing will happen for several weeks at the earliest...

Hi!
Neal, if you ever pick up some of those irregular minis, I'd like to see pictures of them. There are many figs in that line that sound like good proxies, but pictures are scarce.

Just checked the GZG/DS site, there are more 6mm painted-color and B&W-metal pics now. I still think theses are the best option for other than G/W-F/W 6mm ...

I just looked on Irregulars site and they have skeletons in 6mm. ?Anyone know what they look like? ?They might make decent stand-ins for warriors anyway.
This is my first post here BTW. ?Nice site!

Hi!
In my opinion they dont look, but I am not a fan of irregular in general. They look bloby to me.
The absolute best proxies would be old epic chaos androids, but they're a pain to find.

I don't think that the Irregular skeletons look good as Necrons either.
I also prefer the chaos androids as rank n'file Necrons and Reaper CAV power armor troopers for some of the other Necron troop types.
I still haven't looked at JJ's "official" Necron presentation yet though. I've been pretty busy with work and a new girlfriend.
I have written a number of threads about creating/using Necron proxy models and have even tried making masters for a Necron Cube/Pyramid/Monolith.
T5H has expressed an interest in posting my conversion ideas on his new site, but I've just been too bust to get around to it yet. He's a good guy and his efforts never seem to cease.
I was one of the first Necron E-A list writers, but I haven't been interested in publicly airing my list especially now that JJ has "officialy" posted a playtest list. A big part of the reason is tat JJ has hoped to minimize rules to govern Necron ability and it was near impossible to guess what he finds acceptable. I'm looking forward to seeing how he has solved the Necron list without overencumbering it with rules.
Take care and Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Prmarch,
Why so shy with your army list ideas Maksim? |
I didn't want to deal with the peanut gallery and enjoyed writing the list and building a proxy army just for the fun of doing it. I still need to download JJ's list and see how it compares with mine.
I also still have a little bit of burn from my ideas that I proposed for E-A that got "borrowed" and credited to others.
Ultimately, I can't wait until the Necrons become a regular E-A core list.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!
Hmm...so some of your ideas got "lifted"?
Bummer, I can understand then.
Once bitten, twice shy.

That is too bad Maksim, but I too look forward to the Necrons... and at least you have a new gal! ?
It will be years before they are released, short of some major change...
