DarkApostle7 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Deep in the void something stirs... Seething anger is all he is, all I ? Know. His My corporeal form pure energy, the tens of millions of years passing in his temple prison only heightening the copious rage forming withing the bowels of his MY being I was a God once..... Maybe I still am..... ++Energy spike registered++ ++World crystal containment unstable++ They once called me master... They worshiped me... ++Dispense engineer scarabs, containment protocol++ ++ Tesseract vault on standby++ They enslaved me! They broke me! ++Energy within stable levels++ ++withdraw scarab legions++ I will be free... The Outsider will return ++Activate awakening protocols++ ++All hail the Silent King++ ++All hail the Queen++ Hello fellow Xenos scum, this is my homegrown Necron Dynasty A bit of fluff; Located at the edge of the Segmentum Tempestus, the artificial tomb world of Qtharsis is built around a huge continent sized crystal called the world crystal, trapped within this is a major shard of the C'tan known as Tsara'noga, The Outsider. Because of this captured C'tan and the near unlimited energy it produces, Qtharsis grew in power to warrant its own dynasty protectorate, led a close ally of The Silent King. The Queen of Dust or Phaerkh Nephriket rules the dynasty with an iron fist, her loyal council enforced by Nemesor Yvelkh 'The Black' and protected by loyal Varguard Anhur. Lord executor, destroyer overlord Rahetaruk is a battle-hardened member of the court, regularly combining his forces with Overlord Hakotka to ensure the domination of worlds. To protect Qtharsis the Dynasty employs a small defence fleet commanded by Fleetmaster Uquahn and speaheaded witht the experimental flag-ship Shadow of Intent. Finally the royal court is overseen by Lord Judicator Sememes 'The Arbitrator' , commander of the praetorian guard, working inconjunction with High Cryptek Varvyyn 'The Whispermaster'. Upon awakening isolated from any other life forms the Necron Dynasty aims to defend its territory, locate the silent king and locate any remaining C'tan shards for imprisonment withing Qtharsis' crystal vault. The dynasties colors are scratched brass, deep purple and gold, with energy appearing as either blue, red or both Nemesor Yvelkh A test warrior Triarch stalker Nephriket herself And finally a full army shot Hope you enjoy Red_Shift, MithrilForge, NTaW and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Shift Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That Lord conversion is very cool. Is that a fantasy morghast (or whatever they are called) in your group shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkApostle7 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 That Lord conversion is very cool. Is that a fantasy morghast (or whatever they are called) in your group shot? Thanks! And yep its a Morghast Archai/Harbinger, I'm using it as a stand in C'tan shard, the 'egyptian' armor goes well with the necron theme and I think it looks just like a void dragon shard MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Shift Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 That's a neat idea. Is it painted up yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, once I've finished the Lychguard, scarbs and warriors and I've bought some more yellows and oranges I'll have a crack at him, I really want to start on the monolith though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahotep Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Excellent background material. I do love some fan-made fiction for the 40K Universe It normally means you're passionate about your hobby and I dig that. You've definitely chosen an unusual colour scheme but it does seem to work. I particularly like the dark metallic pang of the living metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate comments like that, I am very passionate about my hobby to the point where I'd spend more time thinking up the background for my armies than painting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacepup Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I am a fan of the amount of purple and gold that is on your stalker. I think it is just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkApostle7 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Well well well, a new 'Cron codex makes me emerge from my cave once more, I split the new Forgebane box-set with a mate so the dynasty has been growing nicely, up to around 2500pts, however its always been easier to build than paint - plastic grey is a viable colour scheme right? The new Cryptek model in the box was just begging for a conversion, so I took the opportunity to provide Phaerkh Nephriket with a new and improved model, one much more suited to the leader of my dynasty I used Nephrikets old body and the left over cryptek bits to make Varvynn 'The Whispermaster', High Cryptek of the dynasty Other than that not too many conversions, just kit-bashes here and there on the new models Wraiths Immortals A Heavy Destoryer, converted from Triarch Stalker bits And finally instead of pic-dumping the squads of Lychguard, Praetorians and Deathmarks here are the slightly converted squad leaders There's nothing I immediately want for the dynasty at the moment so ill probably be adding a new model to the collection around summer, until then maybe I can put my procrastination aside and actually paint the models I've sprayed NTaW, MithrilForge and Indefragable 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indefragable Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Very interesting conversions. The Dispersion-shield wings idea is nuts! Really like the use of Morghast for C'Tan...I may steal that idea. Also really like the creative use of Stalker Heavy Gauss for the Heavy Destroyers...I think I am going to steal that idea!

Tyriks Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm definitely taking the shields as wings idea for a converted C'tan. Maybe whip coils as energy tendrils coming out of a single shield on each side... Looks too good not to steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Nice conversions the shield wings are pure win ! Lets see paint on this army quick smart Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkApostle7 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 ++ observing ++ ++ observing ++ ++ Necron Hierarchy signal detected ++ ++ Silent King presence confirmed ++ ++ Enact Reclamation and Subservience protocols ++ ++ Awaking Lychguard Legions ++ ++ Dynasty command signal confirmed++ ++ Awaken Nephriket ++ So the reanimation protocols have worked and I'm now back to reclaim the galaxy for the Silent King - just in time for the new releases it seems. I haven't touched this army in a while so I've painted a unit of Lychguard and scarabs to see if I could still remember the colour-scheme and I'm pretty happy with how they've turned out Rear view View of the dispersion shields The two scythe 'crons - don't worry about the mixed load-out, they'll each form part of a separate shield and scythe squad respectively The Scarabs Finally the Lychguard as a retinue for Nemesor Yvelkh I've enjoyed painting this squad and I want to have a crack at Nephriket herself, however the destroyers and monolith do look tempting to paint As always C&C welcome!

NTaW Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I like the colour pallet you've chosen, I don't think red/orange weaponry with purple and blue armour would have ever occurred to me but it's surprisingly eye catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 That is a striking combo. Reminds me of raw steaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkApostle7 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks very much for the comments! The steak-'crons are back and have been reinforced by a destroyer squad and the dynasty overlord Phaerkh Nephriket the destroyer trio both 'standard' destroyers the heavy destroyer conversion possibly going to finish off both squads of Lychguard next, and maybe do the Cryptek - after that its onto bigger things like the Annihilation Barge and Doomscythe Thanks for looking, and as always C&C welcome! -DA MithrilForge, NTaW and Tyriks 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I think your Overlord looks like a Mechanical Undead Vulture from the Tomb kings era (In a great way) very nicely themed army here and as NTaW said those colours work really well together Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
