Lego Necron Project #1
Originally uploaded by bzarcher.

Legocron Lord - Yes, through excessive use of Lego pieces (on the base) green stuff, and plasticard, I'm working on a Combat Team's worth of Necron Models converted to look like Lego Men.

The Lord was my first prototype for this, though I did make one mistake - his 3 wound body makes him unusable in Combat Team!

Better pictures later.

ive played my fair share of 40k but i dunno what combat team is??? some sort of smaller encounter variant game?

Yeah - I guess the other name for it is Combat Patrol? It's nice for quicker games.

Basic rules:

No army over 400 points.

At least 2 troops choices, but an HQ is not required.

No model may have more than 2 wounds.

as an eldar player it'd be very hard for me to set up a 'standard list' however 400 points gives a lot of options depending on the opponent. I'll prolly take a look into trying this.

Yeah - one of the fun parts of this is the "grab what's in the box?" factor. Of the games we've played at that points level, I don't think anyone's fielded the same thing twice.

(Unfortunately, because of how generic Necrons are, these LegoCrons may be the exception, but they're 99% because of a joke rather than my actual desire to run the army full time, but we'll see.)

Besides, maybe the new Eldar codex will give you new ideas?

(Odd, I saw the email, too)

The new codex comes out in August/September, if I remember right. There's a preview for several of the new sculpts and models in this month's White Dwarf, along with the new Cities of Death stuff.

Oh - when I mention the preview in White Dwarf, I just got that issue in the mail, so to make sure you don't buy the wrong one - you want issue 417 - it has Eldar jetbikes on the cover.
