Hi!
I wish they would decide to release armies that didn't exsist beforehand.
But its fair that other armies for people who have been waiting for a long time get released first.

Thanks Legion for the welcome and hello everyone! ?I've been cruising the board ever since I found the speed painted IG diary. ?Nicely done! ?I painted about 2000 pts of Imperial Fists in about 2 weeks when I started Epic 40k. But anyone can do that.
Back to the topic at hand, proxies. ?I suggested Irregular because they're the only ones I know who make 6mm skeletons. ?I know Irregular have a certain reputation when it comes to quality but I hear they paint up OK.
Once I saw Audrey's Deathwheel I decided to start an Iron Warriors army in her color scheme (Is that Ok, Audrey?) so I'm just going to use them as stand-ins for Necrons. ?
Marines ? ? ? ?=> ? Warriors
Termies ? ? ? ?=> ? Pariahs
Berzerkers ? ? => ? ?Flayed Ones
Small rocks ? ?=> ? Scarabs (paint job should do it)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? => ? Wraiths
? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?=> ??Tomb Spiders
? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?=>? ?Destroyers
Scratchbuild ?=> ??Monolith
Scratchbuild ?=> ??Pylon

Navy2Af,
I'll try to find my Necron conversion ideas list and post it here for you.
One of the ideas that I've played with is using Clikkie Tech Mechwarrior (MW) figures as proxies. I cut them off of their bases and rebase them on pennies or other non-Clikkie bases and... voila! Some of the MW powered armor look really good as dreadnoughts and the like. Some of them have skull-like heads and would look good in a Necron army especially with a unified paint scheme.
Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Well Navy, Tas is an Aussie LCDR in the RAN, so you will be hearing from him, I'm sure!  ?
As far as Necrons, since I have so much to do on my other 9 Epic Armies...
I'll wait for G/W or F/W to release them!  ?
And I don't have a problem if like the Tau & Kroot, they have a limited and reasonable amount of units. I've always said, the IG, Orks, and even the SMs have too much stuff! Much of it redundant, IMO!

Hi!
I wonder if FW would REALLY consider doing necrons.
That would be great....
