I have been off the board for quite a bit after selling my guard army off. Decided to come back to see what everyone has been up to, and to see what new people have arrived. Getting back into the collecting/painting side of the hobby from here on out. Going to be starting with Necrons this time. I know I know xenous OMG!! I might go back to guard eventually, but right now after having 2 separate guard armies both totaling 2500 points I think it is time for a change.

Hey Teku!
I'm glad you're back, the IGMB loves all its weird and wonderful members (even the xenos collecting ones)

Did you have the boys in the dusty-sky blue armour and khaki fatigues?

Thanks Paradill it's good to be back.
emptyhat yes they were mine. Had a ton of stuff to paint still, but never got around to it before I sold my stuff.

Why'd you sell, if you don't mind my asking?

Came to the point where I wasn't playing at all. My local GW was about 45-1hr away and most of the friends I played with work different schedules I did so my stuff mostly sat. I then had some issues with my car that required immediate attention to fix, and I needed money. Also the car mod bug hit me again and I just started putting money into that. Car is almost done, I am going to be moving out of my grandfathers house soon and need a cheaper hobby. Even at GW prices this is cheaper then car modding lol. Here is a link to my old army. commissar.proboards.com/thread/15094/tekus-18th-battalion-works-progress |

I have a few pictures of your army saved in my folder for guard inspiration. I hope that if you do start another guard army down the line you'll do some more alt-colour armour/camouflage you certainly made it look good.
What scheme are you going with for your Necrons?

Wow that really makes me happy. Never thought I was the best painter, nor do I think I am but that makes me feel good. As for my Necrons I am going to try out and under water heavily rusted look. Should be interesting when all is said and done. I tried a test guy tonight and I have somethings I want to change/ need to find a new way of doing. Trying to learn better techniques with these guys by doing things I have never done before.

That sounds pretty solid as a concept. Will some of them have ocean detritus? Maybe barnacles or rusted chains attached to them.

I am going to try adding barnacles with GS, but now that you added the bit about chains I might add them to some other heavier units when I get them. That sounds like a solid idea.

Bonus points if you get the occasional mine attached to the chains  (Also, hurry up and work on this, I want to see pics  ) |
