So I play Necrons and Space Marines, and I've got a Knight Crusader that I use interchangeably for both armies. BUT - the Crusader obviously doesn't fit in amongst my adorable metal xenos. So now I want another one to go and merrily eradicate the organics that have set up shop on the Necron's lawn.

I want to do a kitbash or conversion piece - I don't want to just buy a Knight and paint it in a Necron scheme. However, I've never really done any major kitbashes or conversions before, so I'm looking for suggestions as to how to pull this off with a minimum of muss and fuss and a maximum of awesome-factor. I'm taking some inspiration from this thread but I want my end result to look a lot more Necron-y.

So far, my game plan has been to start with a Doomsday Ark as a base. Cut off the middle part of the big arches to make 6 or 8 spider legs. Then create a kind of platform that the legs support, possibly using the other arches, or maybe going in with the body platform from the Annihilation Barge kit, and stick a C'Tan on top of that (my preferred would be the Transcendent....if I can find one reasonably priced online). After that point is where I start to run into issues, though. I'd like to crown that platform with something - probably the "pilot's chair" assembly from the D. Ark, but not sure how to support it over the C'Tan. And I'm struggling a bit with where I would get workable arms for this bash - I had a vague thought of using Wraith bodies as 'tentacle arms' but I don't think they'd provide enough support for the weapons I'm putting on this bad boy - a green-stuffed Reaper Chainsword (to look like a Warscythe) and a Doomsday Cannon.

Open to any and all suggestions here, guys - don't want to drop a bunch of money on extra models, then chop them up to find out it won't work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8522715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8522715.page GMT Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin
If you don't mind using non-GW models then it might be an idea to start with something like the Dreamforge Leviathan Mortis as the bas and add more 'Necron' to it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8523161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8523161.page GMT Re:Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin GW products if the end result looks good! That being said, the Leviathan Mortis isn't exactly the look I'm going for - although it's an interesting suggestion. Think something like a Triarch Stalker combo'd with a Tesseract Vault - and arms - and you'll be on close to the right track.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8523457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8523457.page GMT Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8526409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8526409.page GMT Re:Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin
As an aside, I hadn't really considered non-plastic parts for the model. Anyone else have any suggestions that might be used to improve my design?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8526997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8526997.page GMT Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8528368.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8528368.page GMT Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin

Looks like a knight torso with the armor stripped off and replaced with Tomb Spyder armor and the legs replaced with engines from the Tesseract Vault. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8534994.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8534994.page GMT Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin

I found a similar image and remembered this thread.
Spoiler:

I'm fairly certain it's the same model but with "legs" and a slightly different pose.

Hopefully should help inspire you ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8535196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683762/8535196.page GMT Kitbashing a Necron Knight Paladin
