Necron Dynasty - Necron Reinforcements

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. I have some new additions to the Necron Dynasty - but only commissioned by me, but painted by the commission service Painted Figs.com. I am not affiliated with them and paid for this, so its an honest recommendation! Firstly 10 Lychguard with Warscythes.

A second Annihilation Barge with underslung Tesla Cannon

Six more Tomb Blades armed with Gauss Blasters to add to my three.

Six more Canoptek Wraiths to make 12 overall.

And five more Tesla Carbine armed Immortals to make up a larger squad

Cheers, Siph

Necron Dynasty - MOAR Immortals with Gauss Blasters #3

Hi Readers, thanks for dropping in. I am continuing to build my Necron Forces, with a new Codex in hand I am keen to hit the Necron to-do pile and increase my options to field some forces.  Following on from the other 10 I've completed the last few weeks, these are the final Gauss Blaster armed Immortals, I do have 5 more from the Forgebane Boxset but I think 15 is enough, so I may arm them as Tesla Immortals so I have a big squad of 10 of them as 5 doesn't seem to cut it.

Again, I followed the same as the previous squad, Gauss red energy blades and the gold forehead to mark them out as more elite warriors over the plain Necron Warriors. The blue is Kantor Blue highlighted Temple Guard Blue. The bases were made 32mm using TTAdapters from 25mm bases and painted in my usual recipe of Mournfang Brown, Karak Stone and Ushabti Bone

A rear shot... ouch ;)

And a shot of the whole lot of Gauss Blaster armed Immortals, the kitbashed back row fit in nicely with the ten original ones. Nice to have some massed Gauss Blaster options now. Happy with these, now off to maybe build that Canoptek Cloak Cryptek and some Lychguard...

Cheers for dropping in, thanks, Siph.

Necron Dynasty - Immortals with Gauss Blasters #2

Hi All, thanks for dropping in. Following on from last week's Kitbashed with Spares Immortals I continued with the progress I was making and thought I'd carry on and do the rest of them I have awaiting completion.  The new Codex keeps these as troop choices, so all the better.

I followed the same as the previous squad, Gauss red energy blades and these ones are the standard kit so have cables. and the gold forehead to mark them out as more elite warriors over the plain Necron Warriors.

The bases were made 32mm using TTAdapters from 25mm bases and painted in my usual recipe of Mournfang Brown, Karak Stone and Ushabti Bone.

Five more are on the painting desk, strike whilst the iron is hot... Cheers, Siph. (5 painting points)

Necron Dynasty - Immortals with Gauss Blasters #1 - Kitbashed Version

Hi Readers, thanks for dropping in. With the new Necron Codex out, my hobby butterfly is hovering over my Necron to-do projects. These are a long standing to-do pile job I've finally tackled, seen HERE in 2014, they were the leftovers from the Necron Immortals with Tesla Carbines, kit bashed with some Warrior bits and the spare Gauss Blasters which were left spare.

I may in the future add some guitar wire to echo the power cables of the traditional Immortal, however these might be lighter equipped assault versions of Necron Immortals? Who is to know...

Size wise, these are on 32mm bases like my other Immortals and here seen next to my next squad currently in progress, because 5 Gauss Immortals is not nearly enough - The added shoulder pads and the Gauss Blaster marks him different enough to be an Immortal and not to be confused with a Warrior. All my Warriors are on 25mm bases as that's what they came with, and any new ones will have to match the 45 I already have.

Simple enough to try if you have spares lying about...

Another Unit done and off the to-do pile, not doing too badly this year, plenty of minis getting finished and freeing up space on the painting table to start another project... Thanks for dropping in, Cheers, Siph. (5 painting points)

Necron Dynasty - Immortals with Tesla Carbines - re-based

Hi All, my latest offering to Our Liege Duncan, ahead of the Codex dropping I tackled a few re-based Immortals armed with the shot multiplying Tesla Carbines.  The Immortals I bought, and the Warriors all came with 25mm round bases, but now the Necron range has moved across to 32mm bases as all those Warriors have their legs spread.

I will not be re-basing the Warriors, they are the lowly footsloggers, but the Immortals have been upgraded to 32mm befitting their status. Not sure if SM Scouts have been re-based either, but I will keep my Scouts on 25mm whilst re-base the Marine counterparts on to new 32mm bases - a job ongoing...

So these had a few tidy ups, a 'squad leader' had a transfer applied to his shoulder, no in game effect, but nice, and added the 32mm ring adapters by TTAdapters, smoothed the join with liquid greenstuff, applied basing material on the top and drybrushed to match and blend in, then a few spots of the flock foilage for colour and to break up any obvious ring look.

That's all folks, cheers for dropping by. Cheers, Siph. (only 1 painting point for this Squad - re-basing and tidying counts for little).

Necron Immortals w/ Tesla Carbines

Hello Good Readers, thanks for dropping in. Today I am showing the latest addition to the Necron Force I have. Seen here Feb 2015. A squad of 5 Immortals armed with Tesla Carbines.

These guys have been knocking about on the To-Do pile, albeit somewhat down the pile now for two years. I posted an article on how to get your monies worth out of a box of Immortals converting them with Warrior Torso and the spare Gauss weaponry to get ten from the box of five - Here.

I added more of the accent Blue than on the Warriors as these are higher up the pecking order, so the Blue and Gold reflect that. But still less than the HQ choices, so I limited the Gold to just a head stripe. The copper capacitor coils was done using the Citadel Fulgurite Copper, a lovely metallic paint with great coverage compared to the older Brazen Brass I was using. It was washed with Agrax Earthshade to darken it a little.

And finally, the whole squad. I plan on a lot more Gauss Blasters with the remaining 15 Immortals I have as you can never have too many Gauss weapons! This squad will probably drop in in a Night Scythe to hit smaller objective holding units in the backfield - using the extra Tesla shots to good effect - looking at you SM Scouts...

Necron Immortals - Getting your monies worth, doubling the squads!

Anyone with Necrons will probably have too many Warriors laying about and some of the plastic Immortal kits with plenty of leftover parts. Lots of leftovers, I have only just begun my Necron advance and yet the bits box is pretty big already.

This conversion uses parts from the Immortal kit and the Warriors, I made my Immortals using the instructions and armed them with Tesla Carbines, but this left oodles of spares and the Deathmark rear torso's and Gauss Blasters as juicy leftovers... so using the legs, front torso and head from the Warrior and the rear Deathmark torso, arm and weapon from the Immortal leftovers, I constructed a fairly convincing new squad of Immortals.

I am yet to fill the joins with liquid green stuff, but both share the larger shoulder blades and bulked up profile over the thinner warrior's frame. The only thing missing is the distinctive wire leading to the gun - I may later construct some using guitar wire, but for now it will be left off. The Gauss Flayer is not plugged in, so neither are my Gauss Blasters.

Hope this gives you some ideas to use up the spare kits you may have laying around.
