I think if you're trying to make the model your own, one thing to focus on would be the posing. Depending on how much effort you're willing to put in, Necrons are almost infinitely re-posable, as the joints are easily accessible and can even be reversed without looking too odd. This does take a lot of skill and patience (and I'd seriously suggest trying it on a few spare warrior bits before committing to the OL build), but can give some very unique and dynamic results.

If you're going for the Lychguard kitbash, I'd have to disagree with the above idea that they're very posable. In fact it's quite the opposite, you're stuck with the 5 poses given on the box, which have to be put together pretty precisely otherwise it won't fit correctly.

Out of the box the Lychguard are very limited, I agree, but if you are willing to chop each part at the knee/ankle/wrist/elbow and re-assemble the model limb by limb then you can do far more with the posing. As I said, that's a lot of work, but the best way to get more dynamic poses out of Cron bits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6213426.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6213426.page GMT Kitbashing Necron Overlord CCB/AB box.

Basically you get a great model with a vehicle, ha ha. You can use that model and convert it further, I did for my Necrons. He's excellent for a base model to work with:

So many possibilities, a perfect starting point.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6213829.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6213829.page GMT Kitbashing Necron Overlord

Have a look at the Lycheguard legs if you don't want him in a standing pose.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6214139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6214139.page GMT Kitbashing Necron Overlord

Spoiler:

The bottom picture is a lord pointing with the staff, to angle it a bit there is a small snib on the ball joint that should be cut off. At least I think there is a small snib on the shoulder ball joint. Also the lycheguard kit comes with a variety of loin cloth type pieces that can be used to replicate the look of the lord that comes with the CCB.

What was used:
Necron Warrior
Necron Destroyer
Necron Deathmark
Doomsday/Ghost Ark Pilot
Green Stuff

And the scythe blade is from LEGOS

Anyway, it just takes a little imagination and voila!

This guy is a Metal Necron lord from which I carved the res orb out of his hand and folded his fingers so he now gives the opponent the bird.
cut off the staff of light out of the other hand
then looked around my bits of Chaos Space Marines and Voila!

I think he looks a lot better than the basic barge OL. Too bad any of the Lychguard legs didn't really fit with the cape thingy so his legs look a bit static, but I'm quite pleased. Nothing too fancy but not too plain either. If you're into greenstuffing and/or cutting up limbs by the joints you have a lot more possibilities with the pose.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6215300.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6215300.page GMT Re:Kitbashing Necron Overlord

I have also seen some people do a few neat things starting with some of the robed fantasy figures (I think the chaos sorcerer) and putting some necron arms and a head in there.

best of luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6217787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561213/6217787.page GMT
