Around April 2002 I got back into 40K after a 3-4 year break. I had all of my old models, but the game was all new, so I thought why not start one of the new armies? So, for a few months I worked on rebuilding my old armies until the Necrons were rereleased, and then I started collecting them.

I decided since they were basically sci-fi undead, I'd paint them in a color scheme to look like skeletons and zombies. I also didn't care for the transparent green gun inserts, because I wanted a different color to go better with the bone look. So, I ordered blue fluorescent rods from Plastruct. They turned out to be almost clear, so I just added citadel blue ink over them and smeared it around, and it gave it a really cool "flowing energy" look, totally by accident :) Plastruct has a few other colors too, just go to their site and look for fluorescent rods, the size you want for the Necron guns is 3/32". You get a lot in a package, 10 rods I think, and you can do 1 whole box of plastic warriors with 1 rod.

I also wanted to try something different and saw a picture on Dakka Dakka of a destroyer with tomb spider legs. I thought it was so cool looking, that I decided to do all of my destroyers that way. Also my heavy destroyers were converted more by adding a Wraith's tail to the back, with his Gauss Cannon at the tip, and claws from the Dark Eldar Talos, now he's a really evil sci-fi-undead scorpion-centaur. Looks really menacing on the battlefield :)

I named my Necron army "The Wicked" based on the song Birth of the Wicked from Iced Earth. The song describes an ancient race that hides among men plotting their doom, which kind of reminded me of the C'tan :)

As much as I enjoyed building this army, I recently decided to sell it. In March a nice fella from Denmark paid a whole lot for them :) So, I don't have them anymore but I'm keeping the pics here still to show the work I did :)
