Been scouting some stuff on ebay, and found a lot of OOP models. Could destroyers pass as both regular destroyers or heavy destroyers? Take a look:

Similar question, could these OOP necron warriiors pass as immortals?

Cheers!

As long as your opponent doesnt mind then your fine

If you're going to use the old Deckchairs of Doom as both Heavy and Normal Destroyers, you would probably want to modify the weapons on the heavies a little to make things clear for your opponent. Otherwise, there's no issue with using any of the old models.

For the Warriors, if you're using them as Immortals in an army made up of current plastic Necrons, that would probably be clear enough, so long as you explain it to your opponent at the start of the game in case they're familiar with the old models and expect them to be the Warriors they appear to be.

There are Immortal models in the same style as the original Necron Warriors, though, so if you're after Immortals, those would be better than Warriors.

Yeah it'd be a case of using the old metal warriors with the new plastic ones.

Are there OOP immortals? All ive found so far is warriors + destroyers.

Yup:


Also Scarabs (which were originally larger and mounted one to a 25mm base rather than swarms) and a Lord with a giant hat.

I have a few slightly dodgy pics of some of mine here.

Yeah, they had immortals. They where pretty much just bigger warriors but their guns looked like heavy bolters sorta.

edit: ya' beat me to it

Ahh sweet! i'll see if i can get my hands on some. Fielding OOP stuff really gives an army an extra aesthetic flavour I feel.

Not gonna lie, those OOP Immortals look pretty badass.

Now that's something I have never seen before, kinda reminds me of the Tarantula platforms from Space Crusade: Mission Dreadnought.

I concur - looks pretty beefy

That's the only Necron model I own!...I always thought his weapon looked more like a ship out of Battlefleet Gothic.

Mmmm sweet, i now need to obtain 10 of those Immortals to sate my buying thirst, damn you liam0404...

LOL is it just me or do the old destroyers look like they're sitting back on a hover lazy-boy chair?

It's not just you. Hence the 'Deckchair of Doom' moniker.

I use my OOP Destroyers as my Heavy Destroyers, my OOP Warriors as my Immortals, and my OOP Immortals as Pariahs, for when i use them.

The old stuff is a little bigger than the new stuff, so it kind of fits. Plus I like the mix of stuff, and saved me from having to buy a bunch of immortals for 2 at a pop.
