So hi there,..

these here are my ''converted'' crypteks (made from Lychguard and Deathmarks obviously). I am very pleased with how they look but i find it hard to decide on the basing..

We all know Necrons destroy anything that aint Necony, and leave entire systems into dustclouds... So yeah, i could simply add some grey rocks and some sand on the bases,.. but i think that is way to standard...

Any cool ideas? Also feel free to critisize my paint jobs

So simple an answer Seems the way to go! Didn't even know that was out yet! Thanks!

I've seen cheap crystals made by carving the clear-green sprue into the shape you want. It would be significantly cheaper to roll your own basing kit that way.

You might want to consider a warmer base to contrast the cooler colors, as a more abstract aside.

Hmm, looking at your models, I'd go for some sort of tundra frozen world bases with snow.

I really dont reccomend buying the GW basing kit, its too overpriced for what theyre giving you. But thats just my 50 cents

I have to agree with that other guy about the snow bases.

I'd like to 3rd the snow bases. Also, you could get creative with snow sticking to the Necrons -- do they produce enough heat to melt snow falling on their shoulders?

Snow might be sweet! I believe i read somewhere that unless their tomb is right above a volcano they are ice cold to the touch

I am stuck between Nuclear waste dead world and Snow... Both terrains are regularly played on...

Have you considered basic sand? It would really set off the blue of your figures.
