... Without Flayed Ones to lead into battle?

I've already got most of a full unit of the metal Flayed Ones, and with the success of the Lord decided to make a unit out of the plastic Warriors, both because it'd be cheaper and so I can get a larger variety of poses. Here's the progress on the first four so far.

looking good

Great project

HFN

Looks like a good start, can't wait to see the creepy skin you'll mold on.

I'll be watching this project

Chiquita bananas are here to stay, get yours now before the C'tan take your life away!

Looks intresting, look forward to seeing them with some flaps of skin and paint on them. I would say the thumbs are a bit big.

Cheers

Awesome action pose.

nifty.

I bet you could use the gun bits to convert some immortals too, while you were at it. With a bit of green stuff to bulk them out.

I like these, might give them a try for my own Necron army, I'll have some plastic warriors left over soon, and am not keen on metal models...thanks for the idea

Not a terribly productive day far as this is concerned. Shrank the thumbs on the first guy, had thought that myself, and got a second one all clawed up. I'll probably not work on em much rest of this week either between painting up their Lord and starting work on his boss as well. And I'm supposed to have Thirteen of these guys all done by this time next month!

Oh, and I'm surprised no one commented on the piles of claws looking like toenail trimmings. It was really my very first thought looking at how they turn out before assembly.

Alas! poor Necron! I knew him, Horatio...

Lmbo! The one with his hands on his head looks like he just got out of the shower and made a towel turban! Heh heh!

Love the pose on the first guy! He reminds me of a can opener that's ready to crack open a can of meat.

The Home Alone Necron is funny though :p

Any chance you'll add non-human skins to them? Ork skin would be cool.

I'm proabably messing up again, but aren't all Necrons Necrontyr? It's impossible to have orks, right? I could see, perhaps, parts of the Flayed One being covered by ripped apart pieces of Ork skin left from a battle less than lucky for the Ork.

Flayed Ones wear the flesh of those they kill, it's not tthe necron's skin.

Better angle on that new guy...

Necron alone at home?

Did that one just pull his own head off?
I know that would make me fail a leadership test!

"Allright lets get those necrons"
"0001110010101"
"OMG he's wearing sarge... and it just pulled it's freaking head off! I'm outta here!!"

lmao. I can't wait to see how these turn out mate.

is it trying to show we'll be back in action? if so well done, if not What the...?

i like em. ive seen this before on a necron army, looks cool.
they would look even cooler if you reposition the legs, because now they're all got this ''taking a dump position''
anyway looking good

Is he pulling his head off or putting it back on... Who knows! Flayed Ones just strike me as being manically insane if not just plain insane. Sure, it's not supported by the fluff, but eh. Most of the unit should be fairly "normal" but I've got a few more ideas for some gems to mix in. Feel free to suggest any other oddity poses as well of course.

How about one ready to beat his adversary to death with his own leg as a club? That seems crazy to me.

If we're going for all-out crazy, I must petition for one to be eating his own skin-clothes. That would put the fear in some enemies.

a robot of infinite gauss, of most excellent fancy...


Looking great so far! I approve of smaller thumbs. If I had to pick something to improve, I'd say use even thinner card for the fingers, to avoid really wide monkey palms, and give even more of a razor edge look. These are going to look all kinds of groovy teamed up with your flayed one lord.
