I had some of these craters left, so i decided to make a Necron or something coming out of the ground in it. after thinking about nids i decided that a Necron would make more scene and look better. so without further ado here it is.

it's not done yet i need to add more scarabs and then i plan to add fake water(hence why the center is so much darker than everything else....) but otherwise its done.

Looks good so far, what are you planning on doing with that guardsman? Maybe this should count as dangerous terrain?

I finished the last scarabs and added the water so now its just down to waiting 24hours for it to cure and then it will be complete. and the PDF soldier is just in some basic camo for the terrain which would be urban snow if i was inclined to make the whole scene. and to answer your question, It is just a scenic piece not for game play, although i have some craters with water in them for game play, this one was for kicks.

P.S. What did you use for the water? I've been needing to get me some stuff like that...

I use Woodland Scenics(R) realistic water. its $20 for 16oz.

What I would LOVE to see is a squad of IG moving through a swamp (only chests/guns above the muck) with a single necron behind them in the position of the guy who's supposed to be bringing up the rear.

I think you really need to remove the mould lines and the tag from the sprue off the Necron's arm and the guardsman's helmet, they are obvious and detract from the piece. I say this especially because the crater itself looks very nice with the water in, the pool has that blue hue to it, like it's giving off a phosphorescent glow. I like it.

Have the guy at the back being swarmed by scarabs with just his feet showing. As if they just mobbed him and dragged him under.

That or floating face-down just under the surface of the water. Put an IG helmet on the necron for extra lols.
