So this is the list I'm putting together for ITC format tournaments that I plan on attending next year. I think it was the day after Da Boyz I got the idea for doing a Void Dragon Cult themed Mechanicus list. I plan on heavily necronizing the models, probably a purple and silver theme with sky blue light work, centerpieced by the Atropos in full necron glory(now replaced by a crusader... *tear) and a display board based around a metal temple type structure.
What do y'all think of the theme?
Now the math on this list may look a little strange, but the War Convocation Makes all upgrades for any model in the formation free.
I don't particularly plan on using this locally except for practice purposes, nor do I believe that it will be allowed at next years GT, but I do plan on following it up with a similarly themed Necron force. I'm a bit tickled that it's still technically highlander
Also bits of it make pretty good allies.
@kozka: You wouldn't happen to have an extra plasma caliver hanging around, would you?
