And here it is. Completed, or something like it. My Necron Aegis Defence Line is ready for action.

I’ve recently been tweaking my list in preparation for a couple of 1,250pt tournaments coming up and I’m leaning towards taking this so had to get moving on finishing it up!

I originally came across the kit on IDICBeer, and its available from Laser Cut Card. I’d had half an interest in a Defence Line since 6th came out, but didn’t like using an Imperial one for my Crons, so finding this was a definite win. 

The kit’s not too tough to put together, especially once you get the hang of it. I do really recommend a good sharp blade to cut the tabs that hold the pieces onto the sheet, mine was a bit on the dull side so took a bit of cleaning to get a smooth edge. 

When it comes to painting make sure you get a good undercoat on, my undercoat was a bit thin in places so I had to go back and give it another spray before I could get the paint to go on with a good texture.

I’ve used it in a couple of practice games so far, but it should get its real test next weekend at Eternal Warrior (assuming I don’t change my list again before then) so I’ll be able to report back with how successful it was, as well as posting some in-game photos. 

Had a 3v3 game of 40k tonight, and I grabbed a few photos. Took a couple of hours just to get through 2 turns, but those turns were messy! Chaos Marines, Daemons and my Necrons took on Tau, Space Wolves and Tyranids and we managed to get them so close to tabled by the end of turn 2 we called it there.

Finishing moment of the game was when the Brass Scorpion assaulted the Baneblade and tore it apart causing a massive explosion.

Broke apart my Lego Star Wars kits yesterday to try making some dudes for Mobile Frame Zero, a Lego mecha wargame. Turned out not to have bits to make decent walkers, but I did end up making these three tanks instead. All with bonus front armour, two with dual mid-range weapons and spotting gear and the last one with double artillery. Could really do with lots more Lego though!

Not had any in-game action shots in a while, so here we go.

1100pts of Necrons, about to lose to some Craftworld Eldar!

Painting progress! I seem to be back on to painting my Dark Elves, despite having not used them in months. I finished the last 5 Warriors to bring the unit up to 50. Now need to do 30 shields and all 50 bases to get the unit done.

After that I just have to do pretty much all the rest of the army!

Some Dark Elves for Miniature Monday. Finished one group of 5, then started on another 5. Once this last group is done I’ll have all 50 spearmen painted, just need shields and bases.

Making me realise how long it’s been since I played Fantasy though!

At Conpulsion today in Edinburgh, playing some Mobile Frame Zero. It’s a fun Lego wargame, and as your mechs take damage you just break pieces off, cos its Lego!
