Using leftover sprue to make some crystal terrain and a brick wall/barricade.

For the crystals, I cleaned up the sprue and then glued two pieces together. I then tapered the end with a craft knife.

For the wall, I literally just cut sprue into small pieces and just glued it together (fairly haphazardly - which produced a great effect).

I glued the wall onto a 'base' piece of sprue with curved ends to make it more stable when stood up.

I've seen sprue brick walls before, but the necron crystal variant is brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

You're very welcome!

Really simple and effective use of sprue which otherwise was just lying around. And, truth be told, a lot of fun too!

Painted the crystals this morning. Abaddon Black base, Dark Reaper layer and then Baharroth Blue edge highlights. Just need to do the base now.
