Procrastinations and Fascinations: March 2022

After two decades of deathless slumber, I have finally woken them from their tomb!

Back in 2002 Codex Necrons came out, and a new army was added to the 40k universe. Yes, they had models before that, but now they had a full list to work with! Over time I acquired a couple of the starter boxes, a monolith, flayed ones, ect. But, as any true 40k gamer would do, I never did more than assemble the bare plastic. There they sat, spending about 20 years in their case.

For whatever reason, this January, I decided to take them all out and look at them. I always liked the look of the army, even if they are just space skeletons. As 40k editions passed, they have become more overtly Egyptian space skeletons, but I don't mind that aesthetic. After hemming and hawing a diversion from already in-progress wargame plans, I decided I would paint them. BUT FIRST, I had to buy some more to bring them from up from my 3rd edition limitations. (insert facepalm) Admittedly, it is still far from what can be considered a meta army.

---After two months of on-and-off painting, I am now finished.---

This marks a major milestone, in that it is the first 40k army I have that is completely painted. Every. Single. Model. Despite the fact that many are redundant (why do I own 70 Necron warriors?) and will never see the tabletop, I do feel delighted in the accomplishment. Even if it took roughly half my life to achieve.
