Necron Dynasty - Hasmoteph the Resplendent - Necron Phaeron

Hello Readers, thanks for dropping by. My Necron Dynasty continues to grow its command structure. Here is the Event Only miniature released for nine days back in July 2021 for the US Open 40K Event.

Lord Hasmoteph the Resplendent, is equipped with a Resurrection Orb and a Staff of Light, and you can use him to represent a Lord or even a mighty Overlord within a Necron dynasty of choice.

Hasmoteph is a Necron Phaeron, whose list of titles grow longer with every conquest he completes. Among them are, the Master of the Thousand Worlds, Oppressor of the Vordish Hordes, Grand Immolator of the Poisoned Star, He who fought the Screaming God, Wielder of the Song of Sorrows. Master of the Seven Realities, Lord of the Outer Kingdoms, Executioner of Cossol, Wearer of the Starpyre Raiment.

During a battle, his Royal Warden, Mohep the Indomitable, acts as Hasmoteph's herald and proclaims the Phaeron's titles to his foes. Tradition dictates, that should Hasmoteph not be victorious by the time Mohep finished his recitation, then the Phaeron would be compelled to join the battle. On such occasions, Hasmoteph has doled out severe punishments to his Dynasty, in order to show his disappointment. Privately, however, the Phareon is willing his Royal Warden to finish proclaiming his titles; as it has been an age since Hasmoteph has gotten to butcher the lesser races in person.

I opted to pick out the Res Orb in Contrast Terradon Turquoise to show it's different from the Gauss energy reds and oranges of my Dynasty.

Cheers, Overlord Siph (10pts)

Necron Lord with WarScythe and Resurrection Orb

Hello Dear Readers, thanks for dropping in. This is the latest progress I made with any of my Armies, I had this guy from the Annihilation Barge kit laying around for, ooh, you know a few years (May 2014!) and finally thought I should finish him off.

The base was a standard 25mm base but extended to 32mm using base adapters to give him more gravitas over the Warriors who are all on 25mm bases - I probably won't change them, unlike my Marines. The cloak was painted the same accent colour as the rest of the force, Necron Abyss. I signified his rank with the use of Gold on the head.

The WarScythe was painted the same reds as the Gauss energy and the base of the staff echoes the golds used in the head ornamentation. I slightly converted the WarScythe arm to bend it at the elbow for a less 'thrusting aloft' feel than the original straight arm. When I do a Command Barge, the Lord embarked can have his thrusting arm.

Here is another view shot of the Resurrection Orb colours, glowing a bit brighter than the Gauss energy elsewhere.

Well, there you have it, a simple use of a spare figure to fill a cheap HQ slot if needed, or to represent a dis-embarked Command Barge Lord - just means I now have to re-base Imotekh the Stormlord on to a bigger base to match!
