Necron Canoptek Spyder #3

The weeman room is out of commission at the moment and work is taking up all my time as I am away from home at the mo and in the middle of moving too, so blog posts will be few and far between until the new one is ready!

That aside, I've managed to do the third and final Canoptek Spyder for my Necrons, they are a Codex Unit of 0-3 Spyders, so now I have three to get across the board and use that monsterous creature status to good effect, one just dies trying...

Like the second one seen here, he is a basic gribbly, no particle beamers. As i am scheduling this post, the Necron Codex will hopefully be out by now and maybe these haven't been nerfed.

Thanks for stopping by, cheers. Siph

Necron Canoptek Spyder #2

Hello Dear Reader, thanks for dropping in.

Here is the latest creation the Necron Crypteks have made for the ever growing, ever-living Necron Army. Imotekh will be grateful, the previous Spyder never lasted long enough to get into combat, perhaps with some more support, he may whether the storm of fire and get into combat to use his monstrous creature status.

This is the second Spyder, and like the first he is painted Necron Abyss, highlighted with Enchanted Blue. The head is painted Brazen Brass to add interest and the eyes and power sources have been painted with 'Ard Coat to gloss them.

Unlike the first Spyder, this one is basic without a Particle Caster or underbelly tools. A simple Spyder to bolster the survivability of the first.

And here are a few shots of the Spyder on the Games Table. I love the insect look these Necron Constructs have - I still make 'chittering' noises when they enter play, ha.

And finally, a shot with it's older cousin. I have one more to do for the squad of 3 I am allowed, he is still WIP. Thanks for dropping by.

Necron Canoptek Spyder

This is my latest offering in my now growing Necron Army. A heavy support choice, a Canoptek Spyder. These are fairly cheap, come in groups of up to three and can be fitted with a variety of options although the only one worth it in my eyes is the TL Particle Beamer to give this monstrous creature some ranged firepower.

I love this model, I can't help making insect noises when I look at it. I am getting fonder of my colour scheme too. I think it works well on this model, hopefully the other Necron vehicles will look as good too. I definitely like the contrasting red gauss energy now too.  The bronze head is a nod to the Canoptek Guardians on the external surface of the Obelisk and works well with the blue.

The greatest strength of these Spyders is running them with Canoptek Scarabs, the armour and vehicle eaters, which when partnered with these Spyders will last longer and grow in numbers each turn.

It is nice to paint something that is not Relictor Grey, but I still have around 2000pts of Necrons in the to-do pile!
