Yeah, if you glue on three legs, slow enough to let the glue cure/use accelerant, you should have a stable base to fill in the rest.

I don't like accelerant because it can create weaker joins, so I would probably glue one leg, come back the next day and do the 2nd, etc.

It would take awhile, but the joins would be stronger. I probably would pin a few legs as well, maybe those initial 3+1 more for symmetry.

I wonder if it isn't molded in segments with a thorax panel + legs and you string it together like a bead necklace.

**JohnHwangDD**

Ideally, it's coming out of the ground, but for that, you really want a plastic model...

Depending if the main body is pose able or not , it doesnt have to be a complex kit.
Guess the main body mass can be split into 3 large parts and all we have to do is glue on the limbs.

**Mewiththeface**

That think it sweet. I expect to make see some sweet poses for that thing. I'm getting one for X-mas!

Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on the Forgeworld website weeping quietly to yourself. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's the money you will spend on the shiny new Necron codex you want so much. Look again. The rules within are awesome!

You, sir, win.

Seconded. Very well played.

**Sidstyler**

So, Ouze...looks like you need to update your "scoreboard".

Anyway, it does look kinda cute (lol), but how the hell is that thing standing on that base? Even with some awesome pinning, I can see that thing breaking very easily.

**Athera**

Meh. Wasn't good as a blurry hoax. Still not good as whatever it's supposed to be.

Not to violate any laws but what do you think the going rate will be for one of these on eBay on Monday morning, or even Sunday evening for the truely evolved Games Day profiteer?

**Maelstrom808**

Very nice model, but not really the asthetic direction I wanted for my Necrons. I'd have prefered something more humanoid. I do like the proposed rules for it. It's essentially a more survivable, less killy trygon.

**killerturkey2**

hmm... metalic trygon duel-weilding bolters. works for me.

**Kevin949**

Hm, pretty wicked rules for this beast.

*Edit*
So...I just noticed it's not fearless....doesn't that make it the only MC in the game that isn't fearless now?

**Irdiumstern**

Umhh it quite clearly says fearless under its special rules

**Kevin949**

Derp, I looked right past it.

**Kurgash**

Still no idea why it has move through cover as a USR since it's a MC

**Kanluwen**

Probably because it "phases" through terrain, which means it wouldn't really be stopped by pesky cover?

**Sir Harry Flashman, VC**

Anyone going to Games Day want to buy one and sell it to me?

Gets to roll 4d6? LoL *Shrug* No idea.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it can move through cover twice at the same time.

**Nurglitch**

Or, more likely, the person who wrote those rules didn't know that. I'm surprised they didn't adapt the Wraith rules for it.

**Klawz**

Maybe they adapted the wraith rule...
from the NEXT necron codex...

**Kevin949**

i hope not, wraightflight is awesome. I'll take hit and run for them though. Fleet is pointless since wraiths don't run.

**zeshin**

So I've had conversation about this offline, but I thought GW was getting away from Toughness 7 MC's. It seems a bit last edition to have a creature that can't be wounded in cc by most normal troops save Marines and Necrons.

Hit and run would be nice, as well as what may be the fix for them not having power weapons with the +2 attacks on the charge. 18 attacks on the charge would be pretty sweet.

Considering the two Toughness 6 special characters in the various Space Marines codexes, a T7 MC doesn't seem all that far fetched.

**JohnHwangDD**

It's Nrcron, so T9 wouldn't be OTT.

**Monster Rain**

C'Tan are T8, so it's not like there isn't precedent for high toughness MCs in the codex.

**Samus_aran115**

Yeah, but those are enormous HQ's that are the only thing 'different' in the whole codex...Not a good example, imo.

There's more than one T6 marine guy? I thought plague bikers were the only ones....

There are two more T6 creatures in the Necron Codex that you're forgetting, not to mention the hardest vehicle to kill, so wrong.

Also, Cassius and Mephiston are the SMs I was referring to.

Ah yes. My fault.

That's a bit silly. Neither of those characters have anything that should really put them that high. Can't marines just be happy with their 3+ saves and 4 toughness?

**Monster Rain**

Mephiston has a 2+ save.

True but they were written for rules that are two editions old now, they're hardly current.

Wait, two T6 creatures in the necron codex? Only the tomb spyder. The lord, yes, but only if you pay for the upgrade. What is nice though is that like 1/2 the necron army is T5.
