Necron Annihilation Barge

With the latest Psychic Awakening book out from Game Workshop I am going to have to rethink exactly how my Necron force is going to work. But in the meantime...

I painted this Annihilation barge some time ago, and I might as well show it off.

Keeping with my millennia of caked on dirt and rust theme I paint these guys up to match both my Overlord and Lord miniatures. I really wanted to do something a little different than the standard metallic scheme and also do something truly captures the immense age of the faction.

Before the Pariah rule set came out, Annihilation Barges were one of the few Heavy Support options that the Necrons could field at an affordable price. Not the best model, or unit in their faction, it was at least easy to configure into an anti-tank or anti-infantry option.

I went with the Anti-Tank., relying on other units in my army to tackle infantry. 

But with the new rules (which I have not read) I am really not sure if these things are even worth it any more.

And there you have the start of my little Necron force. Looking forward to exploring some of the new models in Pariah and making these guys into an effective fighting force.

JADE's Basement Flooded!

So JADE has been a little quiet lately and I wanted to let everyone know why. As anyone who follows us knows since I moved up North from Toronto, all of JADE's gaming happens in my basement.

Well... On the Weekend of January 11th, we had possibly one of the worst rain storms I have ever seen in my 32 years of living in Ontario. We got around 3 inches rain on top of a January's frozen ground. The water pooled on my lawn, and the poured in through my neighbour's basement windows. Since our houses are connected the water then flowed through the concrete wall in my laundry room and into my basement.

The floor looked so nice...

Thankfully We didn't suffer too much damage. The water flowed under the floating laminate flooring soaking the entire floor, but aside form a few boxes of books and cables nothing of any value was destroyed. We did have to pull the entire floor, and rip out the padding, and have had industrial fans and dehumidifiers running down there.

Here's a video I sent to the guys to show them the damage. Be warned I do drop an F-bomb... And  yes that is what I actually sound like. I have a very thick Canadian Accent... My American cousin (and even some of my friends in Canada) make fun of me all the time. So take your shots now. Haha!

So the basement has been in complete disarray for the past two weeks. I only finished drying the place out this Saturday the 25th of January. As you can see we had to move literally everything, and I don't yet know exactly where the RPG Character Dice are, where the the bags for the for the RPG Character Dice are, were all of my minis, my adventure dice, my D&D and Warhammer 40k books, etc, etc, are.

For anyone waiting for dice; I did finally get a chance to get through my emails this morning, and you should have been informed about what's happening early this morning.

Trying to stay positive, I am going to use this as an opportunity to clean out my basement, cull a few of the board games and generally get organized down there. It has been bursting at the seams for a while now with all the game stuff. so it could use some TLC.

Wish me luck everyone!
