So, I don't know about other people, but I strongly dislike the look of destroyers. I am going to change the look to suit myself and maybe others. Here's the plan... ditch the torso,head,arm and use just the gun and make it look like a weapons platform.
Could anyone help me with ideas, this is only one.

Yeah, not loving GW's 'robot centaur' look myself, especially as it's not really used elsewhere in the model line.

I like Ashtastic's suggestion, although I'd add some kind of sensor array on top to bring it up to the height of a standard Destroyer, coz otherwise some whiner will complain that you're 'modelling for advantage' :(

The first one looks good, the second one - I just won't make a comment but just don't do it.

You should go on google, type 'necron destroyer conversion', and image search.

Here's one:

What about the original Necron destroyer design? It was a more conventional skimmer type thing with a necron crew.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
