Warhammer 40k: The Necrons march again

In the world of Warhammer 40k tabletop, Games Workshop is announcing a big push for the Necron faction.
These soulless servants of ancient star munching gods of ages past will be spruced up with the addition of several new models to bolster their ranks.

The Necrons make for a pretty cool race in Warhammer 40k, I think.
They are a slow plodding force of grim determination and make a nice contrast to the elegance and speed of the Eldar, or the unbridled war loving savagery of the Orks.

Among the new models that can now buy are the "Deathmarks", named in the traditional subtle Warhammer 40k fashion.

Think they made the guns big enough?

These happy fellas will serve as Necron snipers, taking pot shots at high priority enemy targets, such as commanders or elite infantry.

The release of new Warhammer 40k models always makes me want to go back and get painting on my own small Space Marine army.
It's a terribly unoriginal Ultramarines collection, and the models look like they've been painted by a near sighted five-year old with Parkisons (poor kid).
But there is an inherent attachment that forms when you spend so much time assembling and painting a model, and that is what makes model painting so enjoyable.

So if you've always had an urge to get into Warhammer 40k tabletop but never really dared to cross that line into the final nerdy frontier, perhaps now is a good time, and perhaps the biotransfered mechanical hordes of the Necrons could be your entry drug into the world of plastics and pensels.
