First painted Death Scooter and a pic of the gang so far :



More info at the Inso's World Blog

Mini-Crons are brilliant! Very creative and well executed!

I cant believe I missed this blog! This is the best use of crons turning into non crons I have seen

Wow I really like these good job.

Oh man.. the destroyer scooters reminded me of this beauty

Vespa + AT weapon == the winnar!

very cool m8

Cheers ...there is more to come ...

Those are too cool.

i must say i just love thes crons and i may borow the design from you just a question will you update the tutorial for them since i have a hard time knowing where you cut them it would be delightfull if you could

Loving the Destroyers. Excellent use of parts exceptionally well executed!

The death scooter looks incredible. Nice job. I might want to recomend some highlights though.
Looks good.

Very cool idea. Nice work

When I build the next batch of troops, I'll take a few pix and update the tutorial for them. I must admit that I have simplified the process since I did the original tutorial so an update is in order . When I do the next Death Scooters, I'll take pix of those as well...but they will be a slightly different design (one will be for the destroyer lord and one will be a heavy version).

I will highlight further when I get more finished to the current standard...but it won't be in the near future...far too much other stuff to do .

I plan to do some Mini-Cron Ogres for use as Tomb Spiders...but I can't say when they will be done...soon hopefully .

The Death-Scooters are all finished...



Maybe it is time for some more troops and an updated tutorial?

Very very cool. I love it when someone comes along and does something so different.

Subscribed. Love the concept.

Now that's what I call one great looking theme army! You can still identify every unit based on the codex, yet they look really unique.

The paintjob is a bit dull for my taste, but it works and that's what counts.

Looking forward to more of these.

The paintjob will improve once I have built a few more and got them to the same standard...I don't want to be put off building them so the less time between paint/build, the better.

I'm thinking that the army will have:
22 troops (12 finished)
1 Lord on foot (finished)
3 Destroyers (finished)
1 Lord Destroyer
1 Heavy Destroyer
3 Tomb Spiders

Once I have them all painted to the standard already displayed, I will go back and edge highlight and add some markings. I was thinking a basic symbol and numbers...probably in either white or black (a bit like military aircraft). I thought a triangle or star as the symbol.

Now...can I get away with having squad leaders? Same equipment but with a different head and maybe some rank markings? What do you reckon? It would keep up the military looking theme I have built up.

Very very nice. Good to see Necrons that aren't all silver and the same. Just brilliant!

This is awesome, I play Necrons and thought it would be cool if someone found a way to mix things up with their look. and this is just amazing! keep up the good work

The mini-crons remind me of the armored beings from The Fifth Element.
Great Work!!

I thought I'd continue this thread with the first of my Wraiths (THIS IS WIP). They will be hover-boarding necrons and will have all of the abilities of Wraiths:

The three Wraiths are now finished:

Love the little guys, the hooverbikes especially look really cool. Kudos on a cool army!

Cheers!

The first Immortal:



Four more to make and then another two Wraiths and I will start putting some paint on them .

There is more over at Inso's World .

This is obviously modeling for advantage and I will have no part in playing against a WAAC fellow such as yourself.

But in all honesty, these are awesome and I've never seen anything like them before. The counts-as-wraiths on the hoverboards are my favorite; can't wait to see some paint on them!

WAAC ? I wouldn't have thought so.

If it ever bothered someone to a point that they needed to complain, I'd just blue-tac an extra base to the bottom of each one to get a bit of extra height...but woe betide anyone who had a kneeling spacemarine or Tau...

I don't game so it would never be an issue

Instead of 'true-scale' marines, I've build Squat Necrons...where's the harm in that?

It was a joke! Just putting some obvious hyperbole down is all. I doubt anyone would actually accuse you of modeling for advantage, especially since you've done such a good job converting and painting them.

I knew it was a joke so no worries there .

It isn't the first time the subject has come up though. It is never a problem for me but at least one chap has followed my 'How-to' and has been told in no uncertain terms that he was gaming to advantage and that his gaming group wouldn't play against him.

I wish in real warfare we could chose our enemies with such precision !

I have now added a hose from the weapon to the body of the Immortal and have also put together a guide to building them here (in 5 pages!):

Now that I have sorted that out, I will be posting other stuff later (a 4th and 5th Wraith ).
