I am proud to show you some pics of my newest project: the Necron Canoptek Tomb Crawler (count as FW Tomb Stalker)!



Fluff: Apart from the more common robotic Necron servants like scarabs, tomb spyders or tomb roaches, some tomb worlds host a plethora of even more alien and unsettling inhabitants. One of these servants is the Canoptek Tomb Crawler, a many limbed mechanoid being that slightly resembles an overscaled giant centipede. Tomb Crawlers can vary somewhat in size or in the number of their body segments. Most Crawlers feature about eight segments and sixteen legs, though much longer versions are not unheard of. These King Crawlers replace some of their legs with additional ranged weaponry to fire deadly broadsides, while charging head first into and through the midst of the enemy ranks invading their tomb world.

I wanted the model to be simple to build and also cheap, hence I used some of the techniques from my Tomb Roach tutorial and some leftover parts from my Necron Army build. I will also post a tutorial in the next days how to build your very own Tomb Crawler, so stay tuned!

Here are the pics of Tomb Crawler and a little cartoon for you to enjoy too Some more pics can be found on my blog here: http://invivos.blogspot.com/

those are quite good. Only crit I have is a lack of detail on the top of the smaller one. Easy to add some greebliess though.

Very clever conversion I can't wait to see it painted.

Thanks for the great feedback!

As I promised below is the link to the tutorial for building your own Tomb Crawler (PDF file, 1.0mb size, may take a few seconds to load). Hope you like it!
