Teleporting Necrons

At a time when I should be painting, or at the very least priming, the obsession continues to degrade my focus. Thus, new conversions have appeared on my work table. Presenting: the wonderful, mind-bending, teleporting Necrons!

These guys are the first of a small troop of Necrons meant to travel in the Night Scythe. In many games I deploy a unit of 14 Warriors and a Lord (usually with Res Orb and Warscythe), and I thought it would be cool to have a dedicated unit. So it was that I designed and built these guys, meant to look as if half (or more, depending on the model)-materialized, ready to fire. on unsuspecting foes.

The Warriors are just cut up here and there, with added Liquid Green Stuff and the digitized bits from the Tesseract Vault kit.

The Necron Lord is customized from a couple left over bits from my Overlord model (which was used to create Kutlakh), including the crown and Res Orb hand. The legs are Warrior legs cut for better positioning, and a small spine piece from an Ark pilot.

And that's it for now! I have more bits en rout to create 8 more of these Warriors and then I'll update you when I paint them. I'll probably paint these up before getting back to the grind of my Infinite Phalanx, or the myriad of other vehicles and models I have waiting.

Thanks for checking out more of my army!

Custom Canoptek Creatures - An Overview

Hello there folks! Welcome to an overview of my custom Canoptek army:

Custom Canoptek Conversions - Incomplete

I am not going to go into detail about each of them here - this is only the overview! But I wanted to get up some of the pictures so you can see what is coming. I will be creating a separate post for each of these monsters so I can go into more detail.

Canoptek Dragonfly - Counts as Command Barge

 When I first started collecting the Necrons, I really loved the look and feel of the Canoptek creatures. I perused the internet looking at all the cool conversions, especially the simple Triarch Stalker conversions, and thought to myself, "Why not remove all the pilots from the vehicles and create creatures for each of them?" So that's what I did.

Not all of them are complete, like the Dragonfly above. But I'm getting there! My first post will probably be the most detailed post I'll ever do, and that is to showcase the Canoptek Kraken (or Canoptek Obliterator, Ican't decide which). Here's a peak at the finished product:

Creepy Crawly Necrons

Well, like the clumsy person I am, I completely deleted the original post. So, instead of reiterating everything, I'll just post the pictures up for you all to enjoy. Sorry about that!

The Bread and Butter - Necron Warriors

First of all, sorry for the less-than-perfect lighting and focus. I'm working on it!

Anyways, the Necron Warrior! Nothing special here, just the Infinite Phalanx of advancing Warriors. This displays my color scheme more than anything else. Bone color (Screaming Skull), Gold/Bronze inner-workings (Balthasar Gold), and a couple greens for the glow (primarily Warboss and Moot Greens). The orange is my intended rust effect, compliments of Kromlech orange rust weathering powder, occasionally mixed in with Casandora Yellow wash.

Lots more to paint...

Welcome!

Welcome one and all! This is a simple blog I am putting together to showcase my Warhammer 40K army - the Necrons. For those who may not know and may also be wondering, Kutlakh the World Killer is a Necron Lord from the Imperial Armour book.

Anyways, take a look and don't be afraid to tell me what you think! I welcome critical feedback just as quick as compliments! It's my first army (and first time modelling/painting), so keep this in mind when commenting. Thanks, and enjoy!
