the results are in!

So after the mad rush of painting and such, I only have every thing assembled two days before hand, we got a 59 for presentation.  not a bad effort for an army painted in two weeks.

the gap

it nearly Thursday.  i had planned to have finished assembling the army by tomorrow. so far i have the warriors, immortals and about half of the ghost arc.  I haven't even started on the lith. I plan on use the GW spray gun to base and highlight the bitch.  I thinking that I should be able to undercoat and base coat the warriors with my spray gun tomorrow and maybe knock out the metal.
Obyron...well, i'm still unsure about the ghost mantle. I'm probably going skip it and go on with the custom war scythe. so thats where im at with a little over a week to go.

The gruelling ghost arc

I have come to an impasse on vangard Obyron.  I can’t work out how or what the ghost mantel looks like.  So I start on my ghost arc.

I started work on it yesterday and spent my whole night working on it as well as a couple of hours to.  The progress has been slow.  The first problem came after the completion of the prow, the first step.  The construction of the driver has ten parts.  No too bad you may think, right? Well, it seems that the hip was misnumbered. Then I realized that both the arms and the spines need to link you to other components. So I’m left with aft in 6 parts to be painted separately.

The next part was the warriors.  They are cool. The have tiny scarabs and battle damage all over the place. Once again there are some ordering problems.  Basically, start with the feet, spine and move to the crest then the head. 

Even will these problems it is an awesome kit.  I was not a massive fan from the box art but now I’m already think about the next two I’m going to build.

There are the WiP photos so far.

Vangard Obyron

The HQ slot for necrons has lots of cool stuff. The overloads give you access to the royal court, destroy lords are hard and the special characters are funky.  It was decide that i would take Obyron and my team mate will take Zahndrekh.  I decide to base the the my conversion on what i had on hand, lychguard and immorts.  the Posing idea was taken from the cover art from the codexs.  so here is my conversion so far 

the challenge

The release of the new crons and an upcoming doubles tournament has leaded me to join on the ghost arc and head to the bio transferers. I had no cron before the release two weeks ago and I have a little over two weeks plus uni exams to get the army done.  So here my challenge,  to get 991 pts of crons done by the second of December  without laming out with a metal colour scheme.  I have a c'tan shard and 8 immortals assembled with gabs still needing to be filled
