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.

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...
