GUYS. BEST IDEA.
Scarab bases all have tiny chariots they're pulling, like they're tiny flying... crab... horses... shut up it's a good idea.
And there can be epic-scale somethings driving the chariots.
Oh god, I almost threw up in my mouth from all the awesome.

Throne help us all; nothing can save us from such a fate.

HEY GUYS


Crabracer is pretty much done, some of these pictures don't have the heat ray attached, but the turret is fully functional, as are the legs.

Yaaaaaaay!

Amazing! I'll admit, even with your super awesome drawing, I had some doubts about how this was going to be accomplished. But....now....forgive me for doubting!

Also, I think an epic battle diorama between your kitties and my Angry Marines would be pretty full of win. Oh, to have infinite time and money....

I love the crab chariot. I don't think I have seen such a fun conversion for a long while

Agreed, that might be pretty amazing xD
As for infinite time and money... I dunno, I'd be tempted to build full-scale Kittycrons :B

This project is awesome. I salute you, sir!

I am incredibly lazy, holy crap. Nine months without an update?

So I finally got around to building more wraiths, and actually painted a couple after they won me a small tournament at my FLGS (the winnings went to paint and supplies).
This marks my first fully painted model for my Necrons (not based yet, but soon). Basing ideas thus far mostly include my blue acrylic crystals, happy green grass, and some flowers. And maybe some blood. Body parts are also encouraged.
After I finish the squad, I'll probably follow it up with my Ladybug Destroyer Lord, an homage to the Garden of Necrons project.
I've changed my basic aesthetic from the Tron-esque painting I did on my Monolith to a more classic Necron metal, with pink washes and possibly pink mold on vehicles (coming from some kind of dart maybe?) representing the infection that must surely have befallen the Necrons for them to become so adorable.

Without further ado, Canopkat Wraith!
(paints listed at the bottom)


Pink wash is slightly less coherent in person, phone cameras are only so detailed


Side view




One of my sloppier head mountings. I'm considering doing a wraith being infected with one from the next box I build, with tentacles coming out of the head and latching on to the Wraith's face as it tries to pull away, possibly with the pink wash only partially down the body. Maybe also green energy at the bottom, with the blue working its way down from the head.


Hello there :B


Whole body drybrushed with Ironbreaker
Washed with Carroburg Crimson
Detailed with Lothern Blue
Details washed with Drakenhof Nightshade

Learning to actually paint better will inspire me to actually paint my whole army. Theoretically anyhow. Hopefully more updates soon! Or at least, Soon(tm).

Finally got around to basing my wraiths, and FINALLY painted my Destroyer Lord.
My girlfriend wanted to help with my project, and volunteered to make an ADL, which we substituted white picket fence for. Made 4x 5" sections, and 4x 2" sections, as per specifications I found somewhere online and didn't really check that carefully.
Again, paints and materials at the bottom of the post.

Models done this weekend instead of laundry:



Some wraith basing examples:





My Ladybug Destroyer Lord:






Oh no! Mindshackle Butterflies!



Aegis DeFENCE Line (get it, get it?)








Fence was made out of bits of stiffer illustration paper, cardboard, and electrical tape.
Destroyer Lord was painted with a Candy Apple Red model car paint I found at an art supply store, which ruined one of my more terrible brushes, but came out looking nice and smooth. His metal bits are done with the same colors as my Wraiths: Ironbreaker and Carroburg Crimson, as well as Lothern Blue and Drakenhof Nightshade for blue energy bits. Abaddon Black and various other tiny colors for detail, and I used wire with green stuff for his antennae.
The flowers were small metal brads, and the butterflies are just stickers on wire, both found at a local art supply store.
The crystals I bought from Anarchy Models (http://anarchymodels.co.uk/), and the guy was super awesome. I made sure to put aluminum foil under the crystals to give them more color, as they tended to look more dull if I put them on flat black bases.

Hope you guys enjoy my work so far, my next project is a Doom/Night Scythe, which is going to incorporate some new ideas I think.

Dude.
This is both, hilarious and awesome at the same time.

... but you realize you've got a screw loose. Right?

: )

Purge this thread with fire.

It's been tried, but the thread keeps rolling WBB successfully.

Welp, only took me four weeks of painting, and a month or more of additional procrastination, but I finally got a Scythe painted.
Quite a bit of fun to paint. Started off with some blue in the details, then several layers of Dawnstone grey, white and black, applied with a sponge. Used similar techniques to my Wraiths for the metal bits, and washes for the blue.
Green bow for pizazz. Enjoy

Im curious,,,what are the reactions you are getting from folks you are up against?

This is FANTASTIC!

I play a lot against people who are highly familiar with my work, as they've been there from the beginning.
Against new people though... I get some pretty awesome faces. Phones usually come flying out of pockets to take pictures to send to girlfriends, with attached messages saying "Hey, if you start play 40k with me, you can make an army as faaaaabulous as this one O:"
