[@DaraM73]

Most guys talk about their first serious girlfriend the way you talk about your Necrons.

[@JasonM69]

Same thing.

[@bigbrowncow7570]

What's a girlfriend??? Is it lore friendly or a fan theory

[@crae100]

I'd repaint my first serious gf also. She was basic.

[@deathdynasty1628]

first serious girlfriend or first serious WH40K army, whats the difference?

[@Maverickx99]

No way a warhammer fan can know what that’s like

[@theonemanopinion2764]

I’ve just come to say how much I love this channel. I’m a complete new comer, having just got back into the hobby after 15 years, and it’s great to find a happy channel that doesn’t take it too seriously and makes all aspects fun!

[@somenerdpng]

As someone who’s completely new to the hobby and was trying to find people to watch, he’s just so wholesome and by far the best around

[@jonnyoliveira7]

Man the spyder with the wood chip is really special

[@fredclasson7865]

The joy in that man's eyes as he talks about his creative processes and memories.

[@terrylyn]

The wood chip story was awesome, he joked he could sell those models but I think he will take them necrons to the grave and beyond

[@Blueveincheese]

I am very surprised to see after all this army presented, not a single monolith

[@maxxieboy271]

Sadly monoliths aren't that good :( Great model to paint though! 😁

[@Blueveincheese]

@@maxxieboy271 but you know the old saying! Rule Of Cool, doesn't matter if it's crap it's still cool 😎

[@dracometeors3010]

@@maxxieboy271 Big Things are not for being good. I have my Tyranid Titans for Fun Apocalypse Days and 'Wow, cool Model' Compliments.

[@AnonymousAnonposter]

I don't own a single Monolith and I'm collecting Necrons for years.

[@jacobdennison968]

@@dracometeors3010 I have a reaver Titan for this reason. It’s trash and cost me a month of pay, but there’s nothing that compares to fielding such a monstrosity

[@Ahriman_362]

I think most of us have this ''one army i can't really sell'' I like to see people getting excited over their armies it's infectious

[@domoarigatomrrobot-oh6647]

Sometimes the story or memory itself is worth the mini. Never remove that woodchip!

[@Ishlol1]

I've sold a few warhammer armies in my time - I would highly, highly recommend that you don't sell a painted army! :D I have never not regretted it. More on point; Holy moly, that army is cool! Gorgeous and beautiful! Great job!

[@stanchakovsky]

Your first paragraph gave me an aneurysm, I have no idea what your feelings are on selling an army after reading this :D

[@Ishlol1]

I see why! I’ll edit out the crossing out - It was meant to emphasise, not cross out! My bad 🤣

[@3boy779]

its the painting that gets you attached

[@timbrown4928]

Those HQs look incredible!

[@theonly1cuba]

Usually if something is gone off he forge world site for a long time then reappears, is because something happen to the original mold of the model

[@chaosof99]

As someone who decided to make Necrons my first Army just last week and am currently painting 56 models (badly), I am just in absolute awe. It helps that my favorite color is orange too. Just absolutely incredible work.

[@KabinMiniatures]

Really like the armour panels, makes them pop more than the traditional metallic 👍

[@Enumidar]

Thank you for sharing. I too love my Necrons

[@32Loveless50]

the Locust Destroyers is the ones you have aka the flying ones. though they have a Lord choice and now also the heavy locust destroyers. :) for other Destroyers we have the Skorpekh Destroyers that are the ones on 3 legs and with melee weapons, they also have a lord choice. then we have the Ophydian Destroyers that is basically the old Canoptec Wraiths in the looks but with no ranged weapons.

[@eliti4806]

Really like the spider, on wood chip.

[@Ravynsrage]

Love the woodchip with the Spyder. That "knot" is actually perfect for a blast mark, as if it took a shot that was aimed at the Spyder.

[@matthewx360]

Got my nephew to start with Necrons this year after a visit to Warhammer World and got him painting his first 500pts so will be showing him this for sure. Your army looks great especially the HQ's and really like what you did with that stalker. Will remember that if he gets a second one.

[@turmsalps4472]

This Necron army has so many many cool details with attached stories - thx for sharing this!

[@odharrison23]

Thanks for showing off you armies! Keep doing I love hearing you talk about them and it mixes things up! Thanks gents!! Fantastic work as always!!

[@philurbaniak1811]

I love this collection, perfectly captures the emotional connection we build with our hobby 👍👍

[@TinBearStudios]

A lot of firsts in your Necron army and I absolutely love how well connected they all are, like the Flayed Ones, even with the massive time difference between your first ones and your most recent ones.

[@DaBlueIghuana]

I really like your triarch stalkers, I’d really like to know how to do that

[@darrylburton9495]

This video helped me decide to get these as my first army. I appreciate your vids, talent and opinion on this army. Many thanks.

[@roryhatfield6696]

Thanks for sharing your awesome army and the history to it

[@JasonM69]

Oooo, the shelf is starting to get cleared! FYI, I fully expect the 1lb kill team to be visible on the new studio shelf.

[@EpicVotann]

Incredible looking army, you’ve inspired me to get mine out. Been on/off collecting since got a free Necron with white dwarf eons ago.

[@thomasmonks5715]

So I just started my Necron army last night (my wife bought me them a while ago but have been sat in my cupboard till the old birthday yesterday). Inspirational my man, even more excited to get in there and get mine painted. Built and sprayed the recruit edition gonna start painting today, pics soon to come

[@don_bernacz]

Yoooo shout-out to the tomb-stalker crew!

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Thanks for sharing your armies with us!

[@TheStoicArmyPainter]

Thanks for all the content Jay. Because of you and Nick i went to try out and learn Killteam, now it's my new favorite game! I've got 3 teams I'm working on now ❤️ thanks guys

[@RileyGein]

White with lightblue faces reminded me of Tau and now I can’t stop picturing Necron aesthetic tau battle suits

[@gabrielduran8755]

Excellent. Thanks for sharing

[@canadialad99]

I would love to see a video of you spending the time to make those HQ units that much more special. I've picked a paint scheme for my army that is primarily white and would love to see how you created those gradients from black/dark grey to white.

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

I really need to finish my necrons. They are the first models I started after returning to the hobby after a 20 year hiatus. I might repaint them though as I experimented with vellejo metal colour with acrylic ink to stain it. It worked well enough, but I wasn't entirely happy with it and then ended up in hospital with a broken ankle, so haven't gotten any further work done since February. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks I will be able to get a area set up again for getting back to hobby stuff now we're starting to unbox everything after moving.

[@mattv2223]

Your army and customizations has made the Necrons my favorite army 👏🙌

[@HuronBH]

Nice army. Plague Bearers come with Nurglings on their sprues too you can turn into a base or two of them also.

[@ryanwiththesauce]

I think you need 20 more necrons jay 😂😂

[@I3ulletProofElmo]

Good to see a deadzone box behind you. One of my favourite game systems!

[@foreverfornever1124]

I'm finally finishing my Cron Army as well! Iv spent so much time with other select minis and just practicing painting and techniques that Iv neglected it for too long. Got about 4k points of models not even built and another 3k not painted.

[@warius33]

Looks like I'll be repainting my necrons and maybe stealing your scheme. I just have mine base coated with the metallic spray so I haven't wasted too much time but I love how the white just pops with the additional accents in bright colors. Nicely done!

[@MetalGearAusInd]

I’ve heard many people talk about 40K, but you’re the only one who has such genuine love and happiness in their voice and reminds me why I got into the hobby in the first place. Keep up the amazing videos!

[@maroonlion2150]

You should get the silent kings and paint it up your scheme I think it would be a very neat vid and cool to see

[@TheDigitalThreat]

I too have *way too many* warriors and like 24 ish scarabs. I had picked up all three 9th edition starter sets as well as indomitus and then later had signed up for the imperium subscription which sent another 20 or 30 on top of the way too many I already had accumulated. I have absolutely no need for that many of them but dont have the heart to sell them either.

[@hansjohannsen6722]

Go Bots! Thanks for sharing

[@aztecace]

wow! love your bases

[@---md4iv]

Necron Warrior A to Necron Warrior B: Why are we only 80 we should be legion!! NW B: Nah 80 is Plenty besides our overlord needs time and dedication to send us to shovel out more of us. I mean I like being Immortal and the other benefits, but look all the sleeping we did and the work we need to do to now to pick up more of our brethren to unleash our true potential is a shitload of work and I am too lazy for it! NW A: Yeah it is a shitload of work but we are IMMORTAL means we have the eternity to unravel our true Potential and our overlord seems eager to increase our numbers so we can do more killing and chilling afterwards. Come my friend time to do some work we have time and patience on our side. NW B: True lets go and finish up more of our brethren.

[@olispictures5912]

idk if you've made one already, but would love to see a tutorial on how to do those bases!

[@S1RVicTOR]

I'm really curious about the Deathmark Conversion Theory haha. The one Deathmark in the picture has shoulders that has a visible connection point when glued. This happened to my harlequin troupes hah. Unless when you updated them you sprue gooed them or something. Also, the right leg is stepping forward, that could narrow it down too. Otherwise I love how these are painted. The highlight on the black armor plates is my favorite detail, really kicks up the interest.

[@Animalfoot]

Scarabs will probably always be the best shot for jumping on objectives

[@ianlewis2092]

I've got 2 boxes of necron warriors coming in along with their codex, starting out!

[@nobodyimportant5417]

The new flayed ones are so fragile. I have a squad of 20 I am pretty sure I have three or four total models that I haven't had to reattach at least one of their talons at least once.

[@hansjohannsen6722]

I find them everywhere! Those claws are like woodland "Burr's" the get caught and then fling.... Lost one forever putting on a shirt carelessly...

[@AcornPlays]

I really hate the new Flayed Ones. They're brilliant looking so I bought a box and for whatever reason they were a nightmare to build. Put me off them completely

[@richter-scale483]

One thing that I never really considered when I watched this video today was How do all of these minis get stored? I see the shelves in the back that hold a good amount, but there's gotta be some sort of god-tier storage setup for armies this massive in size and high quaility painted.

[@JClemente1980]

Lokhust heavy destroyer, which is a powerfull version of the lokhust destroyer (the ones you have). They are not meant to replace these old destroyers, they are meant to be used as complement of an unit.

[@Thrygwulf]

The Infinite Phalanx was an apocalypse datasheet that consisted of 10 units necron warriors that combined to form a single combined unit. Special rules: Fearless, relentless. If it contained more than 100 models it also had the Fear special rule. As long as the unit had 150+ models they reanimated on 3+ as long as there was 100+ models they reanimated on 4+. Also the unit had a unit coherency of 1''!!

[@johnnyruttley1598]

Ever thought of replacing the flight pegs with 3D printed wisps of energy maybe green and highlighted yellow

[@garybanks5918]

Do you have an up to date tutorial for how you painted your army? Been looking but can’t find one

[@pauladair8998]

I miss some of the older models - like the old spiders and wraiths :(

[@zackerymorris8268]

I'll be honest. Your love of necrons is what inspired me to build my own necron army. I already loved their aesthetic and lore. They were even the first models I built. My boyfriend got the indomitus box, and I helped him build the models so he could teach me how to play. They were so challenging for me, though, cause well fidly bits and modeling newb. But after coming into contact with your channel, I got the bug to finish building those indomitus necrons and paint them up in my scheme, and now I have nearly 3,000 pts of them. Including 60 necron warriors and the Silent King, and I'm excited for the challenge to paint him up. So, thank you for helping me find my army and even helping my painting skills blossom

[@stanchakovsky]

Onepagerules' scarab swarms are so good! My necron force is almost entirely OPR's robot legions, imho most of their sculpts are better than GW's but for the swarms there is absolutely no discussion

[@rjlarose5271]

While I can't say I like facing off against Necrons. But your passion for them dose make me want to try them.

[@NuttyCapp3000]

Imagine this guys whole collection 😮

[@kaldorf]

Great necrons.

[@meckleyprops2902]

One of the tacticus Commercials played during your video And it was explaining how to use the necron army.just thought it was a funny coincidence.

[@raymondwright5996]

Necrons were what got me into the hobby. I saw the original Necron Monolith in a friend’s White Dwarf and fell in love with it.

[@daili4917]

I've still got some of my first Necrons too, except mine are metal, I might get a few looks if I take "Assholetep" onto the field (he's got green flock on his base and everything!). I have however sold most of my older Necrons...to buy newer Necrons! Also Jay, Shadowvaults - we gonna get your take on Friday I assume? I both want and don't want the new Necron bespoke killteam, I'm very conflicted.

[@mr.graves2867]

That's pretty impressive I've got a pretty big necron army my self it took me about 6 months to paint them all. I gotta tell ya though I'm happy with the outcome and the size I'm really only missing a few more more pieces and then I think I'll be able to tackle most opponents, or at least give them one hectic time winning 😂😂😂

[@ggadmire]

Dang that is a lot of crons, got myself a army nearly as large, fully painted… only been into 40k for a year tho hahaha

[@mrphucyoo8281]

Those flayed ones are swinging balls!

[@smokeymcpot4256]

Okay Jay. I looked at all the comment, only asked two other times but both with no reply. So ill ask it again in hopes to get one for us, we know you're busy and we love the creative juice crack you bring out in us all and we thank you. We just gotta know what size dose that base for the Ghost Ark measure out to? Looks so much better the the one it comes with. Thanks in advance Jay, o7

[@mattbrabo1818]

100 necros bro! That's amazing I love to make armies around a cool idea instead of the winningest list

[@graefx]

I loved Necrons in DoW but how old their codex was at the time dissuaded me. I can respect the large infantry army. To me that's what 40k was, the current everything needs to have a big centerpiece model just doesn't feel the same. I'd paint all my random dudes like they were a hero model and I've yet to have a fully painted army lol

[@CapitalistCabbage]

add a little nest to teh knot in the wood chip knot, would distract from the wholes origin

[@VatosBoBByZ]

Hi Love your Army can u Tell me the size of the base from the Arks ??

[@LuisPandabmb]

I had a black templar army, some grey knights and a dwarf slayer army. All models gone.

[@frankdelbouille8397]

if you are stil looking for the vert first models ... i have a mint necron lord, 1destroyer , 10 Warriors 4 scarabs and 2 immortals. the immortals stil in blister and 5 warriors in the original box.

[@garethjianikos6994]

Have you got the general grievous necron general model miniature

[@rbleisem]

Your blue Necron, I think it could use some red lines in the blue. That should put some live in that blue.

[@intobatts]

That's a lot of spooky metal boys

[@RetOffical]

1:26 I have also lost a 40k mini it was one of my first 3 space marines I still can't find it lol

[@waaaxed6489]

I love jay and his crazy addiction

[@iamnotglenn]

Scarab swarms aren’t great but when a chronomancer throws the charge re-rolls and 5+ invuln on them they can be disruptive for a minute. I punked someone in combat by using the self destruct stratagem to kill the closest one and remove the rest from melee on their turn so I could unload all my firepower into their knight

[@mantradox]

Lokhust Destroyers and Lokhust Heavy Destroyers still a little bit different, so you can keep both in your army 🙂

[@beyondtheouterrim3025]

Im a little over 2500 and growing, if I ever get around to posting my stuff yall will see it haha. First box of warhammer for me was also Necrons!

[@MyNameIsSashaDE]

4:00 you forget some Blue Spots 😂

[@Ydrakar]

Flayed ones are indeed on 28.5s

[@c0rn651]

id like to do necrons but there seem to be too many thin bits that are hard for me to connect

[@guillaumeb5511]

Necrons tens to grow on you. I had no interest in them until I read the Infinite and the Divine. Someone I know gifted me Trazyn and Orikan for my birthday so now I have a 500 or so points Nihilakh army being slowly built. Army n°4. The plastic crack meme is true.

[@theguildedring3101]

Man I would love to immortalize your necrons in my collection but it will never be. I absolutely love the paint job tho.

[@guillermomelendez7950]

Jay: have you ever dabbled with Aeldari? What would your theme be or is? Bright and cheerful or dark and grim?

[@helixarcher5519]

Wow great army I really like the color theme the white and orange, they kinda look like Forerunners from Halo super cool 😂💯

[@heroforhire1018]

I like how I wanted to play 40k bargain shopped for necrons now I moved to Memphis TN where there is gw HQ and I don't know how to play the game 😂 but painting the army was fun lol

[@CeriMullins-nq3mc]

Cool colour sceme

[@gwkang7846]

How do you base your ghost ark/dda? The flight stands aren't the standard ones provided by GW

[@smokeymcpot4256]

O/, Id also like to know what size base you maid for that ghost ark?

[@ChampstylesTLT]

“One Hundred Necron Warriors” is my favorite Christmas Carol 🎄💀 🤖

[@Panjax]

White Necrons look so nice

[@yooanto9465]

what's the most powerful 3 Necrons units?

[@bripa3890]

I have 9 scarabs and will probably end up with 12 or 15 eventually, even nine is plenty haha

[@LB-yg2br]

Very nice. As others have said, surprising you have zero monoliths. Lol I started my necron army with 3 monoliths hahaha

[@emchamberlain]

GW writing a rule encouraging more identical model purchases. Suprise.

[@fetalmistake5624]

Speaking of battle Reports. Weren't they supposed to come like ages ago?

[@minishaw280]

Did you lend them to a mate for a tournament ?
