Necron Overlord

 

Soon after finishing the rest of the Necron group project, I finally managed to source the pieces for an Overlord kitbash I had planned. Process and tons more pic below the jump...

Necrons Nihilus

I've done Necrons before - in fact it's one of my favourite and most popular projects. But while my "red Necrons" are a kitbash project made with almost no actual Necron parts, I was in the mood recently to try out a more traditional version using the (excellent) official models. Tons of pics and background below the jump...

Necrons update

 

Recently I revisited one of my longest running projects, and one of my favourites to return to: Necrons. Pictures and info on all the new conversions I added below the jump...

New Necrons

One of my favourite projects is the Necron warband I made for #Kitbashember 2018. In fact I enjoyed making them so much that after making something for each of the #Kitbashember prompts I went right ahead and made another model. At the time I even had a couple more ideas that I never got round to, and finally I've found the time and the right bits to make them work. Here's some new Necrons.

WIPs – What's Hek Up To?

???

Been a little while since I posted a complete project so I'm gonna do something I haven't done for a while and drop an update with some WIPs. Here's what's on my desk right now...

Necron Triarch Praetorian and Necron moodboard

One final Necron for the #Kitbashember warband: a Triarch Praetorian.

Complete: Necrons from #Kitbashember

#Kitbashember was a fun project, and very fast-paced. My painting is much slower, so at long last in February I can present my completed Necron warband. Pics and info below the jump...

#Kitbashember Bonus: Necron Immortal

#Kitbashember was so fun, here's one final bonus conversion while I'm in the mood for Necrons: a Necron Immortal.

#Kitbashember Necrons roundup

With the start of December, #Kitbashember is over and done with. I've started painting the Necrons I made so here's a WIP group photo.

#Kitbashember 27-30 Necron Prince

Here's my final #Kitbashember build, the Necron leader himself, Prince Nakhtnebtepnefer.

#Kitbashember 24-27 Necron Ibis Warrior

A burly Necron brawler for #Kitbashember. What's a Necron Ibis Warrior? Let's say it counts as a Lychguard, which- according to Games Workshop- "are the wardens of the nobility, said to be utterly dedicated to their charges. While most Necrons wear a suit of living metal, the Lychguard wear huge suits of ancient armour."

#Kitbashember 21-24 Necron Monolith

Today's #Kitbashember prompt is "Sneaky/Carrier". I chose to interperet "Carrier" as a personnel carrier, although I've seen other amazing kitbashes taking it to mean an equipment-carrying trooper. So what's a Necron's preferred transport? A sneaky portal-bearing Monolith of course...

#Kitbashember 18-21 Necron Lammassu

Another slot I almost skipped, #Kitbashember 18-21 is "Slave / Ally". I repurposed an old abandoned conversion to produce something new that doesn't really exist in the lore, a 40k Lammassu.

#Kitbashember 15-18 Necron Flayed One

Today's #Kitbashember slot "Psycho/Feral" for Necrons has just got to be a Flayed One! This one is designed to look like he's nestled inside an entire corpse...

#Kitbashember 12-15 Necron Scarab

For November 12-15 the #Kitbashember prompt is "Grenadier / Pet". If you ask me a Necron pet has got to be a scarab. And not a small one...

#Kitbashember 9-12 Necron Canoptek Wraith

This is the conversion that's strayed furthest from the official Necron design. My Canoptek Wraith is a kind of homunculus, here fulfilling the role of Healer in the #Kitbashember list.

#Kitbashember 6-9 Necron Champion

#Kitbashember continues with the prompt "Champion / Priest"...

#Kitbashember 3-6 Necron Destroyer

#Kitbashember continues with days 3-6 "Heavy". I went with a Destroyer for my Necrons. Maybe you can see the Beksiński influence beginning to show...

#Kitbashember 1-3 Necron Trooper

I'm digging #Kitbashember started by @passion.in.person and @chaos_cooltist on Instagram. Here's my first offering, a Necron footsoldier...
