Necron Lord Cosplay

I've seen plenty of Imperial costumes, a few Eldar (and even a titan) but this is the first Necron outfit I've seen.
Looks pretty badass!

I'm moving soon (today in fact!). I'm hoping once I'm settled in and have some more room I'll get back into painting stuff!

Harbinger of Destruction - Cryptek Conversion

Just a conversion today. I've not been doing much painting lately, but I'm sure I'll get back on the hobby horse sooner or later.

There is a 74.56% chance of your face being shot by my huge laser.

Anyway, here's my first Harbinger of Destruction Cryptek. I'll paint the control panel things up as glowing energy, in a kind of minority report high tech interface thingy. I figure he's busy calculating the correct setting to unleash a Solar Pulse while his shoulder cannon fires off by itself.

Unit Finished - Necron Warriors 2

5 more Warriors done, including a few with battle damage.
I think I'll end up with about 25 warriors in total once I've assembled everything. I'm not sure how to run them; The Internet advocates multiple small units, but I think larger squads to take advantage of Reanimation Protocols might be the way forward.

Necron Overlord WIP

Lord or Overlord? Either way, he's pretty much just the plastic Lord with a Lychguard Warscythe. Just a work in progress to show the basic colour layout.

I was actually planning to have the loin cloth and cloak turquoise, but I forgot and painted it purple. I think it'll work out better this way!

Unit Finished - Harbinger of Despair

This is a fairly common conversion, but that's because it's a good one. The plastic Warhammer Heroes range has been pretty fantastic so far. Lots of scope for cool conversions.

"Oh, I'm not actually a Cryptek. I'm just cosplaying as Cloak."

 Anyway, I decided to avoid the usual hi-tech staff and go for something a bit more pragmatic. The Harbinger's weapon is a template, so I imagined it to be some sort of psychic flamethrower. His other hand is a gauntlet with a built in teleportation device for Veil of Darkness-ing around the battlefield.

Unit Finished - Immortals with Gauss Blasters

Well, here's my first squad of Immortals. I might take them up to 10 strong at some stage, but for now my plan is to have them deploy with a Veil of Darkness Cryptek and teleport around the battlefield. Said Cryptek is basically done and will be gracing the blog with his presence shortly!

Necron Warrior Conversions...I still function!

One of the things that appeals to me about the Necrons are their resilience. My choice of army normally focuses on the fast but fragile. It'll be interesting to play something that can take a punch.
I'm also a big fan of robots, so the image of half destroyed Necrons rebuilding themselves on the battlefield is pretty striking.

Wanna bet?
