40k and other musings

Warhammer 40k

Well its been a good 4-5yrs since I stopped playing 40k with Orks and Tau. A few months back I decided to give my Orks to a kid at our club (Portal Wargaming) as I wasn't going to play 40k again as I wasn't interested in it at that moment in time. 

My friend Ed, who is the vice chairmen of the club decided to start playing 40k again, as there was going to be a new editon of 40k coming out soon. He started to build up his Red Scorpions which is mainly forge world parts to get for his force, so I was interested in what he was doing, then other people joined in with Ed either starting up a new force or adding to a existing army/armies they have got. 

I thought that this was a good idea to get myself back into miniture wargaming and painting minitures (see last blog). I was gutted that I gave away my Orks to the kid a few months back, but decided to do either Blood Angels (my first 40k army) or Necrons, just going through the minitures of both factions I decided that I was going to do Necrons as they have got very nice models in the range for them.

So got the codex for the necrons and did2 500pt lists and here they are:

List 1

Overlord w/res orb and warscythe 130pts
2 units of 5 Necron Warriors (65pts each) 130pts
tomb blade w/neubloscope, shield vane 35pts
tomb blade w/neubloscope    25pts
Annilihation Barge 90pts

Annilihation Barge 90pts

total 500pts

List 2 

Overlord
warscythe, res orb 130pts

Warriors x5 65pts
Warriors x5 65pts

Triarch praetorians 200pts

tomb blade 35pts
nebuloscope (bs 5), shield vanes (3+ save)

495pts

Im leaning towards the first list as it can deal with swarm (orks, tyranids, imperial guard) and heavy vehicles as well (space marines, imperial guard). But I would like to know your thoughts on these 2 lists, im still deciding what to include upwards to 750/1000/1500pts.

Other musings

I've started to play Halo: Reach again on my xbox 360 and having lots of fun on it again as it ha been quite a long time since I played it. 

Also had a game Hordes vs Warmachine my Legion of Everbligh vs Khador, after a few cagey turns the Khador player failed at a assassination attempt agaisnt my caster (thragosh) which in turn allowed me to kill his caster (epic sorscha).

 Hope you are enjoying this, please leave feedback as I like to make this better if I can :)

Cya soon
