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.
