Inspirational Exterminatus, Mephrit Dynasty FTW!



So things have been coming to a head recently and I can safely say that the Trazian Dynasty has evolved to Crown World level awesome.

So we begin with a lucky trade.  A good friend of mine wanted to part with his Necron stuff after succumbing to too much Shiny Syndrome.  That's a thing, right?  Either way, for an amazing price, I acquired the following.



Christmas came early!
That means my warriors have been more than doubled, so too my Wraiths, Immortals.  Also included is Imotek and Orikan the Diviner. 

Inspired by the new formations in the White Dwarf and Shield of Baal campaign book: Exterminatus, I've been using the holiday quiet (*coff) to slap these together.



 In the space of a couple of days I've managed to conveyor belt these together including not pictured, another freaking Annihilation Barge.  I've now got 3 of those beasties but hopefully the new Codex will allow squadrons of them.  They do sit a bit odd as a whole Heavy Support choice for so little, but there are stranger things out there.

But yes, so far the additional reinforcements are as follows:

  • 32 Warriors (Assembled!)
  • 8 Scarab Swarms (Gonna try some basing tricks with these...)
  • 15 Immortals! (Tesla Tesla Tesla, Assembled!!)
  •  Annihilation Barge (Assembled!)
  • 10 Flayed Ones (The new kind sadly, going to be clipping and altering these so I can mix them with some Warrior conversions ala green stuff and tons of blood)
  • +3 Canoptek Wraiths (Never understood why so many fear these guys, maybe with 6 in total I can finally find out?)
  • + 2 Night/Doom Scythe (Always avoided spamming these as a point of principle. Strangely finding my morals crumbling...)
  • 4 Destroyers (Assembled.  I had planned on converting up some Tomb Kings figures as count as Dezzies, but going to rethink now, not throwing away good Destroyers on aesthetics! I may however convert 2 for Heavy Destroyers.)
  • Orikan (Unopened).
  • Imotek the Stormcalled (beautiful figure, with so much Tesla in the army, its really fitting, but I do need to convert him ever so slightly.  Its not him after all, just someone who acts like him.)
  • +5 Praetorian Triarchs (Have 10 already.  Mulling over whether to use them as more Lych Guard or conversion parts for more Crypteks... Might hold on this one until the new releases)

So there is a lot of work to do.  So easy to forget when getting this stuff, yep, you're going to have to paint it.  All.  Thankfully, I'm very motivated by a lot of good happenings this Jan.

  • A story man campaign against Trazian's nemesis, the Black Scorpian Chapter. (Hence the Mighty Empire tile set. More on that later!)
  • A Meet and Defeat game day to get some simple games in.
  • An Apocalypse game. (Notice the big Tomb Kings Warsphinx? MUhahaha)
If you're ever in need of motivation, you can't do worse than a game.  Planned in advance.  Really gets the gears going.  For most people anyway.  Some people work best with death threats or bribery...

So I'll be posting more of my progress, especially in regards to any conversions I'll be nailing together to keep the Egyption feel of the force. 

Thanks for reading!
Rick
