It would have been fun if you put all the Scarabs on one Knight sized base like a giant ball of doom with hundreds of legs in every direction.
Like the critter ball from critters 2
A Big Ol' Necron Katamari

Great idea!
Surely you mean the ancient and glorious Khatamary Dynasty?
Just found some 2e Necrons in my father's stash of unpainted miniatures and a very early Black Templar, I can already tell painting them will be a lot of fun
Nice find!
Still wish the new necrons were as chunky
Paint them! Paint them well! Then give them back to him on father's day, on a plinth. You can get mdf plinths on ebay for very cheap.
Does your dad play 40k now? My dad wasn't cool like that
This dude has an intergenerational shame pile
"The eagle-eyed amongst my opponents will get a kick out of these pewter beauties"
Translation: "I am going to get booted out of a GW store for using 'third-party' miniatures because even the staff won't recognise these antiques"
The GW store in my area closed down after a comic and hobby store became far more popular as a choice to acquire models and play games. I don't think they are stacking their board with anything other than short term profit seekers and it is showing in the responses they are receiving.
Those metal scarabs look really cool mixed in with the newer ones!
in second edition when the metal ones released they weren't swarms. they were single models that didn't even have bases
Let's not forget the medium and extra tiny sizes that came in the Tesseract Vault kit...
It's interesting. In the novels I read the scarabs always skittered on the ground, until the new Swords of Calth where the scarabs flew.
Im a necron lore enthusiast, as well as a book enthusiast. Yes, you are remembering correctly, in most of the literature produced by GW they were described as skittering and crawling over and thru their enemies. However, you may note that they always had the ability to "fly" or float ever since the introduction of tomb worlds; where, in their first description, scarabs were the Necrons repair constructs and were described as floating thru-out the tomb worlds.
in the 2005 necron codex there is artwork of a scarab floating, maybe that's the first instance
Jay: "Paint the rim of the base..."
Me: "Black!"
Jay: "Gray"
Me: "HERETIC!"
Quite honestly, a lot of the dull colors to blend in are something I've moved far away from for a while.
With the bases, if you go for a bright color, you can both pick out which minis are yours easily and if you go with a brighter color, you actually get the odd hint of a tactical overlay from a scifi universe, something like the units in StarCraft where there's the light around selected units to make them stand out for you.
It's something I first thought of after seeing how a friend painted up the AvP board game minis with a very easy method. All of the minis were based on some plastic canvas, the entire thing was hit with a black primer and a good flat black. The canvas got a worn metal, the minis got a mix of a highlight and drybrush only over the black with a neon color for each faction and the bases rimmed with a different neon shade of the color, the grating then got an ink glaze of the same color.
It looked a lot like an older style game or like they were looking through screens tracking things from in universe.
Never copied the entire thing, but I've started using brighter colored bases to unify my forces and make them more visibly mine in a lot of games...especially ones with less direct customization to them.
Me: "Goblin green!"
Completely agree with op
Fallen ASMODIA MAKE HIM REPENT
Watching these old models and bits being put to good use and making a good looking unit, to me is like taking a sip of a hot cup of tea on a chilly winters day.
Keep em coming!
I love your sentiment about not hoarding bits and bobs and just using them if you've got a project you enjoy!
its a skill I learned the hard way
These look really good. The nuln oil airbrush and red eye highlight I'd never have thought of.
Video was really satisfying to watch. Seeing those old models be given new life or unlife by Necrons was cool so see.
They look great. And I love the amount of respect you show to the heritage models.
I somehow never even noticed there was a new scarab after the first plastic one. My brain just processed the newest one as being exactly the same as the ones the last time I collected Necrons.
These are fantastic!
GENERAL KENOBI!
-lmao low key forgot you played warhammer too used to mtg
Help me Pleasant wan Kenobi you are my only hope.
0:54 You know, there are a range of treatments available over the counter for an infestation of scarabs in your box.
Gives a good impression of a wave of horrible bugs about to break over some unfortunate!
Retro scarab for the win! They came out literally at the last days of 2nd edition, and i do miss them...not trying to make an army out of solely metal models mind you. Long live the plastic!
Jay, this video came just right after I've purchased a bunch of pre-owned swarms with slight damage to them. Coincidence? .... Most likely, but still very welcome as I plan for their fixes.
I LOVE your necron army. It is really amazing to see the difference among the blue ones and the orange ones
Hey great video! I loved the little touch of montage and the fun little tactical play mentions!!! Its really awesome to see such well rounded content! Thanks!
Dope ass hobby apron! Great video as usual! Love the enthusiasm!
This is by far the most inspiring video you’ve made in my opinion. I started in 2nd ed and I too have a few “keep sakes” I’ve struggled to implement I this Indomitus/Primaris hysteria. 😂✌🏻🎨 good luck gaming with em!
I think these turned out really super-nice. I wish I had thought of it before building and painting my swarms because these look a lot more menacing than my standard ones. I could always go back and buy more scarabs and rebuild mine like this but I don't think I have it in me to do it. So I will just be jealous of yours.
That whole attitude of using old pewter is my entire hobby… I have two pewter guard army’s in progress and another in the bits box.
I made blue stuff molds of my scarabs. For every plastic one, at least 10 green stuff. Each base had a mound of scarabs under the better looking plastic. Gives a good sense of a swarm.
Iv still got English civil war figures to paint i bought in 1974 and finished only one regiment must get round to the others one day.
I have to say, I really love what you did with those scarabs.
I love the "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting" apron.
Loved how u did the old ones 2005 into the others it looks so good
The white with the red/yellow osl, damned it's beautifull.
This is a dope video
I kinda prefer the old scarab
wow love the look and amount of scarabs
Oh yeah! Chunky old lead Necrons!
pewter
@@matthewwhiting2645 yeah, you're right! I went back a little too far there, didn't I?
@@KabinMiniatures I always take a bite out of my metal models to see if they are led or not
@@EonsOfBattle sounds like a good way of handling it, what could possibly go wrong?
Ooh a little teaser for what eob battle reports would look like
Those swarms actually looking like you know... swarms XD
Whoa as a necrons player that’s a lot a scarabs 😀. (Plus I love how you used all three generations of scarabs too) 😊😊
That part about hoarding hit the sweet spot
I'm new to this channel but this guy just seems legit like a nice dude
I appreciate the smol servoskull adjacent scarab from the 'cawl controlling countless millions and billions' of the self cannibalising little buggers perspective.
awesome stuff. got myself the indomitus box. starting space wolves and necrons. slowly but surely getting stuff painted. never played, but looking forward to learning.
Nice man! I did this exact bash a few months ago but i got the fw charion scarabs in there too!
I think the old style metal scarab will be the perfect familiar for the necron lord, sitting on his shoulder, or hand
2:48 - Date correction here. The plastic Necron warriors (and scarabs) were released in 2002 with the 3rd edition Necron Codex. The metal necron models were released back in January 1998.
Just did this with my dark reaper's, swooping hawks and Autarch on jet bike this past week. Next up my shinning spears. 🤘
2005 is the chunky boy ... it's just round! And the old metal ones are clearly the brutal ones.
They look amazing mate
That's was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for posting.
They look amazing
Hey Eons. I love your channel.
An idea for your next video: your favorite revamp models. Abbadon, Howling Banshees, that sort of thing.
Dude, that new paint scheme is dope!
The look absolutely fantastic!
Have you thought about putting a bunch on a vehicle base? That could look really cool with a massive horde of robobugs skittering as a mass of metallic doom.
These looked so good
I got a necron scarab on a scanner as a prize for winning a game in a GW when necrons were new. I always think of them as the replicators from Stargate
I wished I had old metal scarab swarms, and really just some good looking necrons
My friend, dollar store shot glasses+dollar store toothpicks= 2$ glue palettes with glue applicators.
No more hurt fingers.
I love the project! I think a brownish base rim would look better, bcause the grey confuses my eye, it's too similar with the scarabs
So good! Really enjoyed this video! 👌
"Who do you play?"
"Scarabs"
"You mean necrons?"
"No. I mean scarabs"
*Proceeds to rain 2000 pts of scarabs exclusively on a table*
I remember my first WHFB orc/goblin army had 5 stands of giant ant swarms because that was the cheapest and fastest way to fill 1/4 of a 2000 point list (all from a dollar store bag of plastic ants and one pack of empty bases)
That Segway into your patreon was smooth
The metal scarabs remind me of the replicators from stargate.
I have a space hulk with the limited blood angels terminators who I am wayyyy to scared to even try to paint
PAINT THEM!!!! you will learn so much and you can always re-paint them later.
@@EonsOfBattle i will try.....
Like you wash technique!
I can see a new necron unit using dense clouds of little scarabs like some kind of magic carpet for a necron warrior or something else, with rules similar to eldar jet bikes. Maybe an upgrade for a necron lord.
They are classssss man
The 2005 scarab was actually released in 2002 with the plastic necrons. The metal scarab was a 1999 release
I think the dates are a bit off. Plastic necrons came out with the 3rd ed codex in like 2002, the metal ones are from earlier, probably around the release of White Dwarf Issue 216 where their first rules came out for (2nd?) ed. in late 1997 (I think).
WD217, and it was early 98.
Bloody terror swam there Nice 😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smiles.
damn i gotta paint those poxwalkers
Really nice job, man. I'll need to try my hand at scratch-building some of these clanking critters.
Great vid, dude
Looks great, Only thing i would have done would be make the old petwer ones into cyclops as well. Otherwise I love it
Lol necron energy balls
Oh neat, I remember having those metal minis in 98, did it take years to ship them across the pond?
Great use of scarab generations, shame the rest of the range looks so different that you can't do the same with warriors, destroyers and immortals.
Whoops, just had to count up my scarabs and I’ve got 112 fully painted bases in my three schemes and split between the three types of scarabs (still a few more scarabs to make additions to other figures and units like another 10 old metals).
Idk about the grey base outline kinda fights the eye for the actual scarab modles, still super cool tho
Great video
I get serious replicator vibes from the old metal scarabs,
my scarab swarms all had 3, at the time, the swarms had 3 wounds so it made sense to me.
Wouldnt it be more than 80 warriors in sure those boxes came with 12 not 10 right?
The OG Necrons were just called Androids in the Space Crusade board game, the old metal ones G1 were pretty derp, second generations of a lot of the models looked amazing(Wraiths and Flayed Ones 😍) then they started making them look stupid, have to admit these scarabs look awesome though
I have old pewter marine capt and a few games day models I always wanted.
I wasn't too sure about your concept but the results were really great!
2003? That metal scarab is from 1998.
I still have all of my original metal
Necron models
Nice
great video #stairmaster
Swarms should be swarmy. Well done!
badass
These are pretty cool and all but have you seen Spruecron Scarabs?
this one looks so good, I will need a shit tons of bugs
You missed the new ones. I like them the most. They are smaller and look more like the first ones and they have more on the base and they vary in size. I only have the little basic guys and the new ones. I think I have 40 total.
Nice but you need the forge world scarabs
A second comment for the great algorithm.
I have an imperial knight / lord of skulls that has been neglected for 5 years plus. I should probs work on it
Remember to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁👍🏼
the algorithm is appeased
"way back in 2013" bruh i started in 2010 and stopped collecting in 2014, i need to get back into this hobby lol P.S. Assault on Black Reach FTW
I had that box, it got me into the space marines!
I still paint my base rims brown. it pisses some people off lol.
paint the rim gray? that's what Graymond does, his parents shop at graymart...
