Necrons on the tabletop are the slow, relentless steamroller faction: they don’t usually win by doing one flashy thing, they win by **still being there** after you’ve thrown your best punches. Their playstyle leans into durable units, strong mid-board presence, and lots of “annoying to fully remove” threats—often forcing your opponent to overcommit just to clear objectives. They like to play a measured, grinding game: set up overlapping buffs, march onto key points, and trade efficiently while their army’s resilience keeps the scoreboard ticking. Depending on how you build them, Necrons can pivot into scary shooting, disruptive board control, or harder-hitting melee bricks—but the vibe is always the same: ancient robots advancing with the emotional range of a toaster, calmly reclaiming the galaxy one objective at a time.

Frequently Asked Question

A: Ancient, undead robot dynasties that woke up after millions of years. They’re tough, relentless, and look incredible on the table (and even better glowing in your display cabinet).

A: Yes. They’re one of the easiest armies to get looking good quickly: metallic basecoat, a shade, then a highlight — done. They also play in a straightforward, durable way in-game.

A: A small starting force (Combat Patrol or similar), a few core paints, a primer, brushes, clippers, plastic glue, and a hobby knife. Start small; your future self will thank you.

A: Silver metal bodies with green glow. Prime, paint Leadbelcher, wash Nuln Oil, highlight Ironbreaker/Runefang, then glow with Caliban Green → Moot Green → Tesseract Glow.

A: Nope. Airbrushes are nice-to-have, not need-to-have. Necrons are one of the best armies to paint well with just a normal brush.

A: Paint the area Caliban Green, add a smaller hit of Moot Green, then finish with Tesseract Glow over the top. Keep it neat and it’ll look like it’s powering up.

A: For basic tabletop standard, you can do a squad in a few evenings (often faster than you think). Necrons reward batch painting because the steps repeat cleanly.

A: They’re pretty reasonable for points-per-model. You can build a solid army without needing a mountain of fragile, fiddly units — and second-hand Necrons are often easy to find.

A: Add what you like visually, then balance your force: more troops for board control, a couple of heavier hitters, and a character to lead. Aim for variety, not “all the same thing”.

A: Three big ones: Over-washing everything until it looks dirty (shade the recesses, then highlight back up). Doing glow too thick (thin layers beat chunky paint every time). Buying too much at once (finish a unit, then reward yourself with the next box).
