Subject: My hand at Necron scratchbuilding

After having been amazed by Jes Goodwin's Necron concept sketches on GW's site, and scratchbuilding my own "Obelisk" transport/tank in 28mm scale before the Monolith nor Necron miniatures even hit the stores, I decided to give Epic scale a try for another 'Jes' concept-to-model... this time in metal (scrap copper wire of dif. gages, copper sheet, solder and cy-glue.) Painting starts today. Comments are welcome. Thank you.

For those who are curious about my Obelisk...

Excellent work bringing the concepts to life. I'm not a big Epic guy, but the first one seems suitibly detailed for that scale. Any chances you'd think about trying your hand at a 28mm version? of the war altar?

Hellfury: Thank you Drake Marcus: I will do one in 28mm, but right now I am planning a 28mm Necron titan..., I know, I know... there is the Abattoir and AE Orb, but I want a 'walker', Warlord sized! Think of a Sphinx laid down as in Egypt, up with a great pryamid upon its back. Then imagine the unlucky army who first sees this massive brute come to life, arise on all fours, charged claws extended, whips cracking! Will

I like that concept- it's not just a giant Necron ala almost all the other titans! Creative.

Cool. I very much like the epic one. The small end of the spectrum increasingly calls to me these days.

Why would the Necrons take any interest in religion?
