My friend wants to convert some Tomb Blades for his necron update. His plan is to use a catacomb command barge as a night scythe and use leftovers from that as tomb blade pilots. He needs help with the bikes themselves though. Any thoughts?

**gregor_xenos**

OOP destroyers / silicon & resin are the route I took.

**TheAngrySquig**

What about the BFG necron ships, he asked how big are those and are they metal or plastic?

**JohnnoM**

They're metal and quite small, the medium sized ones are abit taller than a warrior.

**TheAngrySquig**

Ok, and what about heavily modified sky boards from the hellion kit?

**Melcavuk**

Depending on how close to the artwork you want to be there have been several attempts/ideas at making them.

Either using the damaged Necrons from the ark with extended spine and craft some kind of body for the jet bike.

Using the pilot/gunner parts of the barges and attaching engines and a gun.

Or using lychguard shields as surf boards, ignoring the artwork and going for a silver surfer kind tomb blade.

After a couple of incredibly botched attempts I settles on waiting for wave 2 to be released.

Thanks, I'm getting him to make an account and will link to his page soon

Command Barge is far too small for a Night Scythe IMO. Think more valkyrie sized.

For Tomb Blades, I would just convert up some destroyers or use the old OOP destroyer kits (as they are surely what Tomb Blades are based on)

I made myself some custom Tomb Blades a few days after the Necrons came out I used extra Command barge, Immortal, Lynchguard and Ghost ark bits.

Not exactly Perfect but I am glad with how they turned out.

Hmm... in the codex they sort've looked a bit like a Dark Eldar reaver combined with those speeders from Star Wars. But the conversion looks good all the same.

**Kroothawk**

Official tombblades will be released before he has his conversions done (March).
Puppet Wars will soon release alternative models looking different.

**TheAngrySquig**

He can wait until March, I'll tell him

**theflaminghorror**

it seems like a good idea, but he would have to dedicate the time to do a lengthy conversion if he hopes to finish before the model comes out
