Well that didn't last long

Not so long ago I wrote about how my collection was get a bit unruly with an increasing pile of shame but I still wanted to purchase more in "An itch that must be scratched". 

Despite pledging to only purchase a new model for a particular army once I'd brought its pile of shame back to one unit, I purchased a doomstalker without finishing a single Necron unit since my last post. 

I did manage to assemble and then prime it and begin picking out the details over the weekend. 

I have been doing a lot of the back log mostly working on the Genestealer cults and Drukhari forces. The cult only has a couple of models now in priming colours instead of being based painted. So why a Necron unit. 

I am playing a sadhammer incursion game (slowly) with Necron versus imperial guard and the most notable problem my army had was the lack of anti armour. My force list abounds with S5 and S6 but against T7 its not much use and the whole army is having to focus down one Chimera at a time. In larger games I could bring the bigger Monolith or C'tan not to mention my older model heavy destroyers. For incursion though I wanted a less expensive model that is still tough enough to do its job. Enter the doomstalker. 

 This wasn't a spare of the moment pick. I'd been eying up the model since I saw them used on mini wargaming doing some work and they looked really thematic and I like the war of the worlds looks they brought in. 

 Hopefully I'll get myself back under control and not end up purchasing another two until I get at least the 20 warriors and the Skorpeth lord, warden, plasmancer, ghost Ark. Nightsythe/doomsythe and technomancer. Not to mention all the basing that needs doing on the Necrons.
