I?ve whacked up a few pictures of the first painted elements of my Necron army. They?re a long way from the current 40K models, I admit, but not too far from the original Necron line. It was very much a case of an ?80-20? split in how accurate they were ? and I value my sanity. First up, basic Necron warriors ? standard Chaos Androids: http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecro ... riors1.jpg Then a Lord ? converted from a Chaos Champion and styled after the original Necron Lord (with big hat!). I stole the idea of the Lord from someone but I don?t know who? http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecrons/neclord1.jpg Destroyers! An easy conversion using a cut down 40K scarab body (with the legs trimmed to make jets), Android torso and Ork Nobz? gun: http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecro ... oyers1.jpg http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecro ... oyers2.jpg And the obvious Tomb Spyders ? Scarabs with the mandibles trimmed off, and arms from a plastic Ork dreadnought. http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecrons/spyders1.jpg Scarabs were a challenge. In the end I used Eldar Guardian heads, 20 to a base, which works roughly right: http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecrons/scarabs1.jpg And finally the big toys! The Monolith is largely a scratchbuild, working from a 25mm slottabase. Other components are an old Necron Lord?s head, and the ?fins? and guns from plastic Eldar wraithlords (which I acquired a lot of getting Androids). http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecrons/monolith1.jpg http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecrons/monolith2.jpg The Pylon is a very simple construction, made entirely from Land Raider hatch sprue parts and a bit of green rod from a Necron gun; it comes out small but functional. http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecrons/pylon1.jpg Here are the war engines to scale: http://home.clara.co.uk/reed264/EANecrons/scale1.jpg Well, only another 2,500 points to paint?.

I'm afraid that, personally, I've a shoot on sight policy with them. _________________ I'm involved in Nunnery Practice My latest Blog http://www.players.tacticalwargames.net ... p?blogId=8

Hi Justiniel, How are your own Necrons coming Maksim? Any progress? No. They're on the work bench, but I'm more interested in getting some SMs on the board and expanding my Nids a bit. By the way, I'm out of my home at the minute, but I haven't forgotten our trade. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

Wished he had posted a shot of the full army though. Would have been great to see. dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

I just know that yours will look better. ? dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

Hi Dafrca, Hey Maksim, in a way does this guys site seem like a challenge? I know it would to me.   Sort of, but I'm still getting over my hard times. I've been doing massive Spring cleaning (laundry, linens, under the fridge, uncer the couch, etc.) and I am also cleaning and organizing my minis. In addition, my friend Mojarn was slighted by Signius and I would like to compensate him out of my own Epic collection. I just know that yours will look better.

I haven't even thought about a Pylon or Scrabs yet.

On the other hand, my Monolith sculpt is very impressive so far. I haven't been having much luck with casting it though and my coffers are low so it might be awhile before I purchase casting supplies again.

I also can't afford to buy Necron sprues to get the plastic Scarabs I need. I have one (1) at the time being!

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
