Hello Bruce,
Thanks for the encouragement.
I can see your point in lifting out the Necrons but don't agree with
it. From my point of view the Slann and Necrons were always one. I
never kept up with the 40k happenings. I never knew there were
Necrons in 40k. For me they were as in NetEpic. Maybe I am just to
old and set in my ways but it doesn't bother me that a newcomer
might think the Slann and Necron together is silly. To me, and I
imagine to some, the others are silly. The whole "undead" type thing
doesn't appeal to me.
That said, I agree that they could be lifted out. I also agree that
there is room for the newer version of them. With a very slight
manipulitation of fluff both fit together.
Getting away from that..... As I think I have said before, I wasn't
ask to rewrite the book. I was ask to reformat and smooth it out for
NetEpic Gold. I have seperated the different sections which will
make it easier for someone to expand on it in the future. I have
tried to do a decent job with it but my health seems to be slipping
and would really like to finish this while I can.
I can use some of your photos. It seems in getting ready for the
move I had forgotten about them. If you can do the Temple Guard and
Kroxigor it would be good. Do you have andy group photos of
companies or armies?
I just recieved some new figs from EW for the vehicles. I need some
from DRM for the Necrons. Looking for different turret / weapons but
using same hulls. I will try to post some photos soon.
I hope some others also come around with some feedback.
