http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Apoc game towards the end of the month and I was planning on using my Necrons (Thinking it'll be the last game I do before the new dex comes out) and would love to use all real models so that I can take lots of pictures without being horrendously embarrassed.

So, I have turned to the minds of the Dakka Community for ideas on how to make a Monolith out of scratch that won't like horrible, and will pass until GW puts the monoliths back out there.
So far, I'm thinking some stiff plasticard-esque material cut into the basic pyramid shape. From there it shouldn't be too difficult to cut out the basic shape of everything, but the guns concern me the most. Also, any advice on another material other than Plasticard, as my budget is pretty low this month (And I'm hoping my other two liths show up somewhere along the way.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401222/3396044.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401222/3396044.page GMT As for the guns, If you have any leftover or spare necron warriors/immortals you can plunder the guns from them. That's if you can afford to lose a warrior or three, not sure how many models you have (must be a large amount if you're going to an apoc game).
Not sure what to do about the big crystal thing, you could make it out of styrofoam, possibly. There are some shops that sell actual crystals for rather cheap.(or you couls paint a rock).Not sure if an actual rock would be too heavy for the structure, though. It also might look a bit too rough and uneven, as opposed to the necron imagery, which is generally smooth, even and symetrical.
Obviously you'd want to use a very strong glue,so it doesn't get damaged during transport.
Hope this helps. I'm starting a necron army myself, so this would benefit me as well. My budget also isn't large.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401222/3396602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401222/3396602.page GMT
Sadly, I'm down to a measly 20 warriors who still have their guns (luckily that is all I typically use). The rest have broken off and disappeared. I do have two destroyer guns left over from some converted Destroyer Lords that could make up two of it's guns though.

I'll start looking into things for the crystal, and hopefully find something along the way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401222/3397215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401222/3397215.page GMT
