Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Necrons: Necrons Monolith

Product Information

At the start of each battle round, if any NECRONS CHARACTER units from your army are on the battlefield, the command protocol that you assigned to that battle round becomes active for your army until the end of that battle round. Each command protocol is made up of two directives. When a command protocol becomes active for your army, reveal it to your opponent and select one of its directives. Until the assigned command protocol stops being active, while a unit that is eligible to benefit from this ability is on the battlefield, that unit benefits from the selected directive. As with most armies, Games Workshop shows off a variety of paint schemes for the various Dynasties in the Codex, and via the Warhammer YouTube. As of their introduction as part of the 9th Edition starter, Necrons have been designed to be fairly easy to paint – more so, even, than their older models. Polished Gold layer and Reikland wash + Silver highlight Szarekhan Royal Warden Szarekhan Royal Warden Nihilakh Up first is the 4 gauss flux arcs, stationed on every corner of the Monolith, there really isn’t a firing arc that at least two can always hit. Heavy 3 at 24in. range gives them a fair amount of firepower at a respectable range. More gauss weaponry is always a good thing, and will keep other vehicles humble. Only being Strength 5 and AP 4 isn’t really that useful, but we’ll make due with it. Independent Targeting lets each of the arcs shoot a different target, which makes them actually useful since the guns are placed in a somewhat awkward location on the model. These unfortunately, do have to Snap Fire if you shoot the main gun, which makes them very meh.

That then gets washed with Nuln Oil to darken it down, especially in the recesses, followed by a drybrush with Necron Compound on bits that are going to stay silver to complete it. I do this all now because when drybrushing such a large proportion of the model there’s a risk of getting some on other areas, which I’d rather be able to correct by re-applying the base than having to redo any edge highlighting.

The Necrons’ trademark self-resurrecting super-power is Reanimation Protocols. At the beginning of each turn youroll for a D3 for every single unit, and heal wounds or reanimate models up to the die result.

Acanthrite • Doomstalker • Plasmacyte ( Reanimator • Accelerator) • Reanimator • Scarab • Seraptek • Spyder • Tomb Sentinel • Tomb Stalker • WraithThe Gold is relatively simple. I use two different methods for the gold in this army. Troops got a simple base coat of Retributor Armor followed by a wash of the contrast paint Guilliman Flesh thinned out. The characters & vehicles got a treatment of Scale 75 gold paints. Starting with a base coat of Decayed Metal, then Dwarven Gold and lastly Elven Gold. Once this is all laid down, I give it a thin coat of Guilliman Flesh. I like this guy a lot, but my Necron army never got past the stage of being “fledgling” and was mostly painted two years ago, and I think now i would do them differently. The body is just Army Painter silver spray washed Nuln Oil, the carapace is Naggaroth Night then Xereus Purple highlighted with Genestealer Pink, and the green is Warpstone Glow -> Moot Green. The gold is just Retributor Gold washed Seraphim Sepia, and the brassy bits are Runelord Brass which I think was also washed Sepia. In addition, if all units from your army are from the same dynasty (excluding DYNASTIC AGENT, C’TAN SHARD and UNALIGNED units), select one command protocol that has not been assigned to a battle round (there will typically only be one). That command protocol is active in every battle round in addition to the one assigned to that battle round – select which directive your units will benefit from at the start of each battle round. Note that if this additional command protocol is the one described in your dynasty’s code, this means both of its directives apply to all units with this ability in your army in every battle round, in addition to the protocol assigned to that battle round. The available command protocols are shown below.
