And it struck me as having some Necron aestethics to it, especially the shape of the head.

Are there ways it could be necronified further and used as an alternative Transcendent Ctan?

It's a great looking model and arguably could be played on its own, but if there are some simple obvious things that could be done to it, it'd be nice too. Don't know the size of it though.

Other than that I don't know if you need to Necronify it further. C'tan don't share Necron visuals much and can take any shape they like. A fitting paint job is all it takes, really.

Maybe you could fill the runes on the scythe as those are not in style with Necron writing.

If you want to tie it in more without doing anything to the model itself, consider using spare broken Warrior parts from the Doomsday Ark as base decoration. Maybe mixed with other bits to make a damaged Warrior that's reanimating in the presence of the C'tan.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10559202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10559202.page GMT Using new AoS skeleton as CTan AoS model, but it certainly has a lot of metallic mechanic feel to it already

But that is likely a 32mm base, suggesting its just a bit too small, or it should be lifted up in the air a bit, floating, which might be doable.

Would be nice to put something else in his hands, though don't know what that should be. flames? lightning? Some other necron'y close combat weapon that doesn't resemble the Nightbringer's scythe too much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10559317.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10559317.page GMT Using new AoS skeleton as CTan
I would instead use the model with the two swords. It is more of a tyranid warrior size I think and would make a great C'tan.

The king model would also be cool if you can asembel him without everything else and he is big enough.

An easy way to add mechanical bits is to buff up the spine the same way as Immortals. That will only help with the back, though. But like I said, I don't consider the absence of mechanical parts a problem with a C'tan so for me going light on these elements wouldn't be an issue.

I once converted (but new fully finished) a Deceiver to hold a sword and shield from Lychguard. They are decently sized for a stock C'tan. So if you want to replace the scythe, why not go with a warscythe? If you want to keep the flask sucking in the spirit, you even have the Overlord's scythe to keep the shape the bone wizard comes stock with.

If you don't want to keep the flask in his left hand, maybe he could release a swarm of Scarabs? Regular ones might be a bit big for that, but if you can get some from the Tesseract Vault, they come in two conveniently small sizes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10559426.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10559426.page GMT Using new AoS skeleton as CTan http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10560946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10560946.page GMT Using new AoS skeleton as CTan

Yeah I want to see the King converted up, I would just need someone to buy all the other figures on the base from me if I was to do it?


Yeah that's the thing.

Otherwise those 4armed dudes aren't so bad. Some of the faces has a little Deceiveresk look to them. Would probably skip the lower pair of hands and perhaps the cloak/cloth and add bits to make them distinct. Those overly bony details on the chest and perhaps the lower legs would be nice to change, though no ideas come to mind]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10561024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779854/10561024.page GMT
