Part 1 - Winning LVO with Nemo (Astra Militarum) - 314.1

G'day everyone. This week we jump over the Admech codex (because their story is really only starting) and look back on what has probably been the most consistent performing faction for the duration of 10th edition, the Necrons.

To assist in the look back on the journey of the metal lads I reeled in No1 ITC Necron player Andy Quas-Cohen and his co host from WTC team England Matt Bell! Go check them out on Command Protocol podcast if you want more of what they bring to the table.

These lads assist in giving the codex a medical examination and kind of try their best to not overtly state they have been eating good for a long time.

Hope you enjoy!

AOWdu 264.1 Necrons Codex Retrospective

Hello everybody. This week I had the pleasure of reviewing my Main Squeeze, the Darkest of Angels. And straight up it was very hard to stave off the disappointment. 

I was joined by John Lennon for the review as we are both passionate as all hell about this faction and we did our best to keep things positive, in the face of a faction that has seemingly lost it's mojo. 

Let's hope we are all wrong and some amazing build can be discovered in here but enjoy!

Love Adam
