First up is some Cryptek conversions. I use the term 'conversions' very lightly here, as it basically involved a head swap and a bit of staff adjusting! Its an idea that's been floating around the net for a bit now: use plastic Lychguard models and stick Deathmark heads on them. Much better than running the 'CrapCast Guantlet' in my opinion! Plus you get loads of spares! Their are 2 Harbingers of Destruction with Eldrich Lances and 1 Harbinger of Transmo-whatsa-thingy with Tremorstave!
I made some minor adjustments to the Harbinger of Transmo Tremorstave guy's staff! The end is just a Warscythe with an extra Warscythe blade attached to the other side. It just had to be different from the other two. This guys also going to be packing a 'Harp as well, but I'm still working on ideas for that.
Some more Immortals with Gauss Blasters.....yawn.....
Out of those 10 Warriors i showed you a few weeks ago, i figured that i only needed 4 more for the army, so i was lazy and boxed the other 6!
Some more good results on the marble paint effects.
Finally, my Overlord. I decided to buy an Annihilation Barge and use the Overlord from that than bother with the ShiteCast version. At least this way a get a decent Overlord and a quality 'HS' choice as well! A simple 40m base was all that was needed for this guy with plenty of Necrony crystals as well!
Some painted pictures of these guys will be up next week!

Nice - I always enjoy the marble effect you get, I really need to give it a whirl. Looking forward to seeing more necron goodness!
ReplyDeleteI am looking at doing the same thing with Crypteks. The Praetorian modles are too cool looking not to use somehow. A shame thier rules blow.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a good kitbash conversion! The simple head swap, or a little addition always transforms a model better than any fancy gs work or scratch building! Good job, and I echo the comments from Mordian too
ReplyDeleteLots of Finecast hate here! Love the Crypteks, and the marbling is nice. I think the Finecast Cryptek and Overlord is nice to break up monotony, but there's so many ways around them, its not even funny. Good work man!
ReplyDeleteCheers guys!
ReplyDeleteGranesh - I can't begin to tell you how much I hate that product!! I love the sculpts, but the results ate poor at best! I'll never buy another CrapCast.
