Hi, my Necron army is slowly taking shape. I've now finished my Phalanxes and Destroyers, and I've just started to do some heavy conversions for my Wraiths. Here's the result:





The components are:

- Tail: Tyranid Gargoyle
- Claws: Tyranid Hormagaunt
- Torso: Chaos Android (although an Ork boy torso would work just as well, I think)

The conversion itself is not that hard to do, if you don't my working on very small elements (bit of advice: use tweezers). Actually, the hardest part is... sacrificing those hard-to-get Tyranids! ?:p

Very interesting conversion and a very effective proxy.

Not having those pieces available, I was going to substitute the tail and claws with plastic card, but I wasn't sure what I'd do for the body, so thanx for the tip.

...and yes, modeling with "micro-bitz" is its own reward.   :/

Very nice, though I can't belive you sacrificed epic androids and tyranids.

It is almost enough to make a grown man cry.

Sure, I'd be honored.  :)

It's really too bad I can't take better pics with my camera, though...

Suggestion: If you can. take the pictures from a little further away and put the camera down on something steady (such as the table, or a book, possibly at an angle, if you want a higher angle shot). If posible use a higher resolution on the carea and then crop in an art program. I think MS Paint will do in a pinch, or you could try the GIMP, but I've heard it's a little unstable on windows...

This reminds me, I've still got to post my pics of my semi-built necrons that look more like deformed cybermen, but cost approximately one coctail stick per base...

edit: fixed typo
