Okay, I mentioned that I was working on a Necron project for that new codex, and Vik and Shrike asked me to post pics, well here we are.

First, my take on the Deceiver; The shadows lend an air of menace to him.

What can be said about this guy? the Codex pretty much has his whole story set out.


Now for my Warriors, I did use different heads to show possibly different approaches for this squad to have been repaired or just experiments
ed on. You can also see a Lord posing nearby! He likes to stay near and keep them moving.

And now for some different Lords, Yes, i know they are minis from another range with a head swap for the most part, but they fit the theme of Necro-horror, and it is a big part of the Humor as they are under the Deceiver. My Killing Joke!

and the meanest of the Lords

Very interesting stuff there. The Cryx casters are great in Necron armies. Ive even thought about doing 1 or 2 myself.

if the crxs is the secon one on the last pic to the let, then these warmachines i have to say were ment to be fielded as stand in models for necrons from the beginning...

though i am not very into necrons at all i have to say they do look special...green with brass joints? something you dont see every day for sure.
the deceiver looks very good, specially in the half shadows... but the face with blue warpaint isn´t to my taste... a face sans makeup would be way better...only my fiver here...

and the sacarb headswap looks rather nice... a trule good idea and would have been even nice would you have used it on the entire squad of warriors...

cheers, vik

That Deceiver makes me think of Thor's tin Loki, the Norse (?) god of mischief. very topical given what movie is being released soon.

I'm the first to admit that I know nothing about Necrons but really do like these. I can almost see some sort of imperial force investigating a factory and these guys pop out of the vats of gunk and the nooks and crannies.

Great stuff.

Mad4minis: I used the original Asphyxious, the smaller one,
Epic level Asphyxious, both got Necron swap outs on their heads. The one with the big chopper looking warscythe is Venethjrax, not much to do for his face, but he got the treat-ment the others did.

Vik: Cryx are the grave robbing Necrons of that game system.
I wanted a different look as most make their Necrons chrome or steel looking. I wanted that more "antique" feel, like classic cars or other machines. Oh, his "warpaint" is inspired from watching the Movie Spawn, The "clown"

Ah, yes, that is because two of the heads are on the Asphyx models, and others are trophies for my Space Marines painted in the colors of the armies I beat!


Taffiarti: Deceiver is very much like Loki. Oh, funny that you mention that as the comic book Joker is their color inspiration!

Basically, I wanted a metallic feel for the color, and mixed shining gold 2/1 with Dark Angel Green. The "fabric" is Liche purple with warlock purple drybrushed on.

now that you´ve mentioned it, i see where you had that idea...
well this fella was rather ugly then^^ your deceiver is much handsomer^^

if the joker is their sinpiration, will we see some purple on these guys?

Of course! first they are getting their "green" on!
[/img]

And purple
[/img]

And, their inner glow from their power systems.
[/img]

Green and purple?
Really?

You may not like it, but others have come to appreciate the combo.

I like the lords a lot. I like the warrior head swap too, but it looks very weird with only some of them having those heads. I think you could have carried the theme through and had a very alien looking Necron force.

I really like the scheme. Very unique.

Thanks, I had to stay with the face on Vene due to the size and other issues with the model.

Besides, there is something to be said for a dude with a screaming skull face!

for all that are complaining abiut a green and purple scheme:




thses chars have a history of about together of sixty years with little development to their overall look...so this is classic in numbers!

you gotta love the glowing runes on your...whatever^^...heck i love them^^
also nice gold and presumably greenish metal? the warmachine range is a very inrtriguing line...

See? yes exactly, and that is that lords' wars-cythe, a potent close combatant weapon in the hands of a lord. No knowing what the new 'dex will allow.

I made that to have that metallic gold-green just for that look, there are insects with the color even, imagine a carpet of scarabs like that as well tying up those before my army of killer robots with death-rays!^^

I have always been of the belief that if you seek something unique, look at other models for the look you are after!

true to the bone! i am constantly scurring the web on eaby or google like hell...also an open mind might help too^^

And this angle allows the feel of madness from all those millenia left to their dark dreams as Lords are the most intact in memories, and the ability to think as they willing sold their souls into servitude to the C' Tan! Whether they have regrets is unknown. My union of diabolic, plotting and patient evil!

reminds me somehow to :



although they are probably more slaneesh^^

KISS looked more Slaanesh!

But that is my Legion of Doom so far!

Lit up, and the whole gang is basically visible.

those " tendrils" look really good but need a bit of blending from bright green to purple...the idea is really cool...

Still working on them, yellowing to some intermediary color to blend to purple. The veil of darkness effect is slowly working about.

Every time I come on this thread I smile at the colour scheme. I really enjoy your thread.

Thanks Taffiarti. If you like tanks, I have a thread for those too!

Vik: Those are to be "soul powered" veil of Darkness!

sounds cool, but what are they for? or better what can they do?

I like the green and purple.

Vik: they are the Veil of Darkness, it can allow the Lord with it to teleport himself and a squad anywhere they want to go across the table in the move phase, of course Deep strike rules apply so it can be risky.

cgage00: Thanks!

cool....well this is seriously handy...and risky too but well no risk...

I like this thread and these awesome necrons.

at least you would never loose them in the dark eh! lol!

Vik: yes, very useful and risky at the same time, but if landed correctly and no mishaps,,,plenty of Gauss Flayer or blaster action!^^

Viking Scott: Thanks! I wanted Lords with a touch of difference, panache~ if you will.

VicStauk: LOL! Not hardly!
