The title pretty much sums it up, i've been a little busy and so haven't really done much 40k related to talk about.
I did manage to grab a Necron Lord though despite the GW in town removing them from the shelves in anticipation of the new release. So yeah, i've been working on painting and putting in together and I hit a dilema:
Shiny New Necrons or Old Rusty Necrons?
This seems to be the big choice with painting and honestly i'm not sure. I used to prefer old and rusty, because it fits the characterisation of necrons as zombie-robots that only want to kill stuff. But rumours suggest new Necrons are becoming sentient and are having likes and dislikes and peccadilloes. This seems to lend itself to the shiny paint scheme, because most things that are fully self-aware care about how they look, and would interest themselves in a paint-job so they don't look like they need a new lick of paint.
I guess it boils down to how they're written, but i'll be going with the old scruffy look, although I have hit the snag that looking at my Lord I thought "Damn, that really needs a new paint job" which may be a problem.
