It may even get some of the anime fans playing. Perhaps segmented hair that would be similar to dreads, however being metal.

The thing is necrons are portrayed as undead skeletal beings and unless we are gettimg into the nitty gritty of hip width and femur length you can't really portray the common trooper as female and get that same necron feel. Even adding metal busts are just going to make things awkward for everyone. I would say as lords and lychguard sure, but beyond that there really isn't anything that would work I think.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3932507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3932507.page GMT Re:Quest for female Necrons
But I would LOVE to see a Female Overlord, or even Cryptek or Lychguard.

Then attach Necron torsos. May as well attach arms and guns from Necrons as well. Good enough.

Attach a female head. Paint accordingly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3932959.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3932959.page GMT Re:Quest for female Necrons

I'm confused by call for realistic human proportions on an alien army in a fictitious universe populated by a myriad of creatures that defy normal anatomy.

Well, that isn't the point, that is the fluff. They aren't supposed to flowery either but we have Flower Power Necrons on this very site. They didn't used to have Necron Lords with personalities either, or C'tan shards. GW doesn't limit my imagination.

I imagine it would down something like that, though I'll probably avoid the bikini as, at least in my head, they aren't cheesecake Necrons, though I imagine the painting is going to be a big part of pulling it off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3933469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3933469.page GMT Re:Quest for female Necrons

My apologies, your initial post didn't make it clear you were willing to deviate as much as you've expressed from the fluff. I think both flamingwalnut and myself figured you were trying to make female necrons and still retain the grimdark soulessness of the fluff-crons, which may be possible if you can use greenstuff well enough as I don't know of any robotic bitz that would fit the bill.
Regardless, yes 40k is a work of fiction, but like all fiction most of the ideas are taken from the real world so it isn't a stretch (especially for necrons) to compare them to the human skeleton. They may have initially been based off of the terminator, but even that was designed with the human skeleton/body shape in mind. What we are saying is that you might lose that necron feel if you deviate from that skeletal design too far, but if that's what you want then more power to you.

With that out of the way, if you want to make your crons more female, I suppose you could also add green stuff hair, add some busts, and, if you are unwilling to buy new heads, add lipstick around the mouth and eye shadow under the eyes. For flayed ones, you could put them in dresses as instead of flaying your skin and wearing it, they take your clothes (or they just mistook someones clothes' line for a place where humans hang their "flesh" to dry).

It will be interesting to see what you come up with either way (i.e. if you are trying to retain their grim-darkness or not). Looking forward to some pics of the end product and best of luck to you. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3933645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3933645.page GMT Re:Quest for female Necrons

That would probably be the way to go unless you take it a step further beyond the skeleton and add some muscle. (i.e. do them up like a female mannequin). I'd say that would be pretty awesome. Who wouldn't be afraid of an army of angry mannequins?

or like this with more pronounced curves perhaps.

Also, gundam-cron ftw. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3934680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430867/3934680.page GMT Re:Quest for female Necrons

Can I be equally confused with your need to assign genders found in terrestial life to extra-terrestial entities? We can go a step further too

Given that early life on this planet was insectoid or reptilian, we can assume the Necron base race was one of these two. Since the competing race, the Slann, are reptilian, we can therefore assume the Necrons were insectoid, albiet bipedal and wingless. Since most communal insects consist largely of female drones with a few Male consorts and a Queen, it stands to reason the ALL Necron Rank and File units are in fact female, but thier insectoid nature negates the need for mammalian genitalia that your kind (humans) associate with the gender.

EDIT: this also explains why they all like pink, flowers, and hello kitty
