Well the title says it all realy, heres a few pictures of it standing next to a Salamander space marine, I know he has no arms

he is WIP! and they were the only bits i had around.

**Brother Bartius**

Nice.

I like the colour scheme as well.

Now get some arms on to we see that as well.

**Oreren**

Well im doing that tomorow and i'll have pictures up the next day

**Solorg**

Now first of all, they look AWESOME.

Second of all, though, I have to ask - how do you know that the Necron Models are NOT true scale already?

**Oreren**

None of the models are to scale, tis fact, there all to scale with there own armys but never to each others.

And thanks both of you

Strange, so strange. You would think that a model company would make all models to scale. Maybe there will be a move in this direction in the future. Until then, keep up your great work on scaled Crons! Also enjoyed the color scheme.

How tall is a Cron supposed to be? 6 feet tall? Is that the measure you use when determining True Scale?

**Oreren**

There suppose to be near Marine hight but there ushaly hunched over, And imagine the costs to rescale warhammer as a hole considering it costs over 2 million british pounds to take the Leamon russ kit from 3 up to plastic sprue.

**insaniak**

Nice job straightening the legs... but what makes them more 'true scale' than regular Necrons?

Model companies generally do... GW is a gaming miniature company. Scale is not a big consideration.

**Oreren**

Well straightening them up bulking out the body and neck going to work the arms more so there more "flexy" less stiff looking. It puts the body into a more "true scale" preseption.

**Oreren**

Well folks! heres the first completed one im quite happy with it but i haven't finished the base to a standard i like so i'll work on it another time!

Please comment and critise.

**thegrav**

Like the interactions between those two colors, however I am not sure I really like the pearl white as is. I could see it being white, but maybe beat-up white??

**Oreren**

Yeah im going to chip it a bit and have metal showing through and use a dark wash as rust or Oil blood effect im still tinkering with ideas

I could just do general ware-tare and rust if you want me to. But my paints at in my local store till tomorow

Also! have a box of warriors and a destroyer lord in the works!

Insert obligatory Jes Goodwin excuse: "Marines ARE in scale, it's not my fault other sculptors can't keep to the scale I set."

Thanks for the new pics. VERY nice work!

**Oreren**

Thanks! i will be weathering him up mee thinks!

**thegrav**

Very cool, Can't wait to see it!

**Savis**

Nice model and cool colour scheme. I'm not sure about what you mean by true scale though, I wasn't aware of any fluff giving the necrons any set height?

**Oreren**

Well I dont either i just woke up one morning and had a thought and tried it and i liked it, there bigger than normal necrons and i feel more to scale with art ive seen. And now my necron destroyer lord is built and undercoated just waiting for my paints to get back home with my brother tomorow evening sometime :L

I'll have pictures up latter today of a new necron warrior i made late last night and my destroyer lord! i think you will like the warrior.

**Oreren**

just finished weathering and im realy not happy with it so time to repaint the necron lord mee thinks.

**Grunt_For_Christ**

The scheme is very interesting and I really like it. Here's my question though: What are you going to do with the base? It has to be some interesting, contrasting colour/basing material to do the rest of it justice.

**Oreren**

Im thinking of dry brushing the base red, like a Mars type surface, and i'll probably add small peices of slate to other models.

**thegrav**

Pics?

Hope you like these, enjoy. ok! so i gave another go at slight weathering and i like it... i dont know why my camra seems a little fuzzy i think i might be because i uploaded them with Dakka but i doubt it is and more down to me.

**Oreren**

Enjoy

**dingholio**

you can buy red, blue, and yellow colored tubes at miniwargaming.com instead of painting them that color, so they still have the luminescent look. but they look great!

**Oreren**

Yeah i thought about it but im happy how they turned out

**Lexx**

I really like the work done on those necrons. Especially the one with the outstretched palm. Looks sinister!
