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?

The best thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's far too late to stop reading it. |

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.

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:

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  !
