As far as putting the Tomb Stalkers together goes, I actually really enjoyed the model. Not too many mould lines to take care of, and the pieces fit together relatively well. Legs are a pain at times, but really, if you put the effort into the Tomb Stalker I think it pays off.

My first Tomb Stalker, meant to look like he's bursting out of the ground (i.e. Deep Striking):

















My second Tomb Stalker, meant to look like he's lunging forward (i.e. Assaulting):






My third Tomb Stalker, meant to look like he's lurking in wait (i.e. Hitting and Running):

I'd suggest uploading your pictures to the Dakka gallery, and then copy the 'Forum' code so you can paste them directly into your post. Hosting is free on Dakka, and you'll never have to worry about you're pictures not showing up because of bandwidth limits.

As for the suggestion to model an 'explosion' of earth from the burrowing Tomb Stalker - if anyone has any ideas as to how to do this and make it look good, I'd like to hear them. I can't think of any good way to model bits of flying dirt without making them just look like little strings hanging off of the Tomb Stalker.

Edit: Maybe just have the Tomb Stalker's legs partially covered in dirt to make it look like he's just emerged?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2738103.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2738103.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2738835.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2738835.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP
Anyway, great poses. They all really help give character to the three. I like the lurking one the most. Can imagine it ambushing just about anyone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2739356.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2739356.page GMT Re:3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP screwed!

I've decided against modeling an explosion, too many bits that can fall off of these guys as it is, and I just don't think I could make it pay off. I have changed their bases slighly (mostly built up more sand in certain spots) but it's really not that noticeable. I've primed them and painted their terrain, so I'll try to get some more pictures up soon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2742034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2742034.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2743230.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2743230.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP Great stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2743273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2743273.page GMT Re:3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2745127.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2745127.page GMT Re:3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2745184.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2745184.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2745192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2745192.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2746034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2746034.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP

Gonna use the leftover bits for my game table, probably. As for the guy who asked how they do - Tomb Stalkers are awesome. Fun rules, fun model. I hope they make it into the next Necron codex.

I hope to put up some pictures tomorrow of a half-painted Tomb Stalker.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2748283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2748283.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP

Ooo. Would love to see the game table. And some paint on these guys too.

One question. How easy is it to prime these guys? Heard it can be tricky.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2748531.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365154/2748531.page GMT 3 Necron Tomb Stalkers - WIP The other two look superb.
