Hey!

I finally decided to convert my own night scythe because the lack of minis in the may launch. What do you guys think?







Comments welcome!

I'm not going to lie, I saw the tittle and thought to myself "oh dear, please don't let it be another eldar vehicle conversion". What you've made is fantastic, I love the whole thing! And it's painted very well to boot.; the weathering is very nicely done.

Its an interesting take on the design of a night scythe. I'd buy it if this was the 'official' model.

These droppod bits fit nearly too goood...... the machine god is pleased, I guess ....................and thats scary.

I think I love you. The use of bits, the colours, the conversion, it's all just so perfect...

It is an amazing conversion and paintjob, but the wings make it look like a chaos vehicle, not a necron one. I really think it needs the crescent pattern, its a nice motif that really gives necron stuff that touch.

Wow, it's an upside down Annihilation Barge! Very very cool, nice use of the kit, and also, it's been mentioned, but the paint job, particularly the weathering, is top notch! Love it!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Although I can see the above poster's point, and somewhat agree (about the crescent shape) it's still a top effort

Thank you guys for the nice comments so far! And yeah, I must admit that the drop pod parts don't fit 100% but it's the best way I could find. And it's realy easy to convert

I don't know if you ever play Starcraft or Starcraft 2, but this paint scheme and shape etc makes it look a lot like a Protoss vehicle, in particular, the Phoenix from Starcraft 2.

This is not a bad thing, as those vehicles look really badass, and have a very ancient but sophisticated feel to them, similar to Eldar and Necron.

I didn't realize this was a conversion at first. Not only do I love your build, I think that the paint job is very unique as well. (Unique in a good way, not a short-bus way.)

There are some things that words cannot describe how awesome they are. this is one.

Imperial guard: Because quantity has a quality of it's own.

Sisters of Battle can be used in any game, with the exception of chess, Monopoly and of course, Warhammer 40,000.

After 8 editions, you might have thought that GW could get fantasy right.

I am SO stealing this idea to make my night scythes.

Great job on the kit bashing and the paint job is really a nicely done departure from the standard metal.

Plus 1 awesome.
