Here's the completed models I have for my necron army. I've got some more stuff that's not finished too...
First up, a few Phalanxes. These are obviously chaos androids, with lords converted from space marine characters. I'm not really happy with the lords, I may replace them at some point.
Phalanx 1:

Phalanx 2 and closeup of lord:

Next up my destroyers. I'm very happy with these. They're made from warhammer plastic empire shields cut up with the top half of an old imperial robot on top.
Destroyers:

Destroyer Lord closeup:
Next I have a rather crappy picture of my Immortals. They're made from some kind of eldar, I dunno what they're called, I'm no expert in eldar. I painted them rusty because Immortals are supported to be the oldest necrons (plus it makes them stand out in the formation more, which makes them easier to spot).
Immortals:
Here's a couple of bases of Pariahs, made from eldar swooping hawk exarchs. Pretty happy with these.
Pariahs:
Here's 4 Tomb spiders, rather predictibly made from scarabs. I probably should add claws to these.
Tomb Spiders:

A base of wraiths, made from wire and plasticard. I like these a lot, I'll definately make some more!
Wraiths:

The obligitory monolith is next. I've got several more of these in progress, but this is my only finished one. It's made of plasticard, metal sprue and old epid command poles. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
Monolith:

Lastly I have my Pylon, made from a small jar lid, plasticard and a high elf waystone. This is my favourite model in the army.

Coming soon I have an abbatoir, more monoliths, obelisks, the nightbringer and much more.....
Comments and suggests are greatfully welcomed.

hey these are looking pretty cool, good work.
you did a pretty good job on the wraiths, my way of building them is pretty effective and very simple, glad to see it works for you.
your destroyers look funky, i like them.
overall, looking good

I had the pleasure of playing a 3k game against this army last night, and it's really very pretty. The blood-spattered wraiths and the destroyers are particulalry cool.
I'd never played the Necron before (I was using Guard), so it was a slightly terrifying experience, but a really good game. We called it a draw at 2-2, after a tense last turn that went to the very last dice roll.
Anyway, thanks for the game zombocom, and for introducing me to the Necron  . It was great to have a close but friendly game against such a nicely converted and painted army.

It did look a good game, and good to see that it was a close one. The Necrons look even better close up, and made me consider getting my Androids out of retirement and based up!

Yeah, it was indeed a very close game, mostly due to all my monoliths being dead by the first activation of turn two....
I was trying out a more "sit back" approach to necrons, and it doesn't seem to work all that well, though it did lead to a very tight game!
Cheers for the complements.

It's probably worth pointing out that, although our game was close, this was partly because zombocom was being nice ? .
I'd never played against Necrons before, so he picked a fairly gentle list and didn't jump all over me too much on the first turn (though he certainly got stuck in on the second - those Necron assaults are scary  )

Yeha, I was playing friendly for the first turn, thinking that I didn't want to give you a bad impression of the necrons. Little did I know I was about to get bashed up! After that it was a real challenge trying to coordinate my forces with only the abbatoir and tomb complex to bring formations on with.

Very Nice looking Army ! I think using a slightly convert SM Chap., is good Idea ! As well as using Eldar etc., if you don't want to use DRM Androids. Good Work !
