Limorekh Remastered – Spring Clean 2026

It’s time to focus on Kimtayl the Slayer, inspired by Soundgarden’s guitarist, Kim Thayil.

For his model, I have chosen Nekrosor Ammentar from the Necron range.  This is another relatively new model, again bought for me for my birthday.  Firstly, it’s a good sized model so it will be nice and imposing alongside his bandmates. Secondly, I think there is some synergy from a character perspective.

Kim Thayil is often described as the dark beating heart of Soundgarden, the one who kept the sound dark, discordant and, well, Soundgardeny. Nekrosor Ammentar is about as dark as it gets, even by Necron standards.  He is thought to be the first of the Destroyers, the origins of the curse, and will infect any Necron that comes anywhere near him.  He has dark plans to re-assemble the C’Tan Shards of the Nightbringer to restore the god to its full power.  Something the Necrons are incredibly fearful of.

So as Kim Thayil creates crowds of loyal followers, moshing to his riffs, so Nekrosor Ammentar increases his crowd of destroyers through his dark presence.

To work.  As I was beginning to assemble the model, and looking through the instructions, I wondered how to make it even more imposing.  The kit has him climbing over some low ruins.  All well and good but not really tying him to the ‘band’ theme…

It’s important to stress here, that whilst I am heavily theming this army on a “band” I do not want it to be too gimmicky.  This is not Hello Kitty space marines.  I want someone who has no idea what the inspiration is to say “wow, that’s a cool Necron Army”.  It can’t be silly.  It can’t be cheap.  The theme can’t be too forced.

That being said… I had a crazy idea.  Remember the previous section where I assembled the Convergence of Dominion?  Well that was still sitting on my desk as I was about to assemble the Nekrosor… I couldn’t, could I?

One quality of life improvement I have made recently is making basing easier on myself.  In the original project I was making my own basing mix and, well, making a mess in the process.  I have now switched to a one-product process.  Base smarter not harder!  Comparison below between the then and the now.

Bit of bank holiday airbrushing to get this party started.
