It wasn’t long before I had a little bit of everything the faction has to offer.Īin’t no party like a radiation party. A pair of Start Collecting Skitarii boxes and some Kastelan Robots got me on the way. Unfortunately, you can’t have an army of just Belisarius Cawls, so I had to flesh it out a bit. He has a skull-topped electric pimp-cane and you could miss noticing it entirely with how much crazy cool stuff is going on in this model. He has a floating skull whose sole job is to run cables along his mechano-spider cloak train. Cawl’s too busy to reload his own gun, so he built an arm to do it for him. Have you seen this model? Have you? If you don’t own it, take another look. It’s like Inception but replace the spinning top with a floating skull.īefore we get to my army, let’s take a minute to talk about Cawl. The one, the only:Ĭawl keeps copies of his own brain inside his brain. From there, the rest of my first shopping cart filled itself, and a week later it was in my hand. No matter what it’s rules or lore was, I needed to build it, I needed to paint it, and I just needed it. Once I found it, I knew that it would be the capstone to my army. I browsed model after model, until I came across the one. Having since learned about Necrons’ place in the meta, I am only too glad my friend bit that bullet for me. I didn’t want to copy him, so the only option I ruled out were those metal skeletons. I browsed the site at the urging of a friend who recently got into Warhammer with his Necron army.
Knowing nothing about the rules, lore, or factions, I was struck by how many options I had in front of me. Young Andrew, wide-eyed and full of wonder, was flipping through Games Workshop’s site, looking at all their nifty models. Let’s travel back to a simpler time: early 2018. I unboxed my first ham only a year and a half ago. “I started collecting back in the Rogue Trader era,” or “my brother and I got in trouble playing Warhammer during recess,” or “I screamed ‘For Cadia!’ as I came out of the womb.” I’ve got none of that. I find it interesting how so many people in this hobby have been a part of it for so long. I also post under the usernames Duct Tape or Pendulin depending on the site/forum/phase of the moon.
This week Andrew is talking about his beautiful Adeptus Mechanicus! Every Thursday in our Army Showcase series, Goonhammer contributors take a look at the armies we’ve been collecting for years, and the new ones we’ve just finished – what drew us to them, why we keep building and painting, and how they play on the table. Finishing your own army is core to the Warhammer 40,000 hobby.
