The Robots advance

Well I manage to finish my Necron army. There a couple of items I'm still working on and there will be touch ups. As photos have a way of showing you the mistakes as such. When is started to build the force, the main thing I wanted to get away from was the colour that seams every thinks Necrons should be. So I went with purple being the main colour. Oh when I paint I tend to aim for a mass effect and how it looks from the other side of the table.
Anyways on with the show.

Army shoots

The army had gown since i manage to buy a army, from a guy in Spain. So the figure count went up.

War Machines

Well we cover the war machines that the army can used and all of these are simple conversions or proxies.
C’tan- A figure I brought off EBay and now I cant remember the company. The figure is 28mm and so its very large for 6mm. C’tan are gods, so they should be bloody big. So i have no issue with towering over the battlefield.

Warbarque- I some time wonder who thinks of the names for theses things, anyways. I have four of them. The two round ones are made from Khazari Droid Controller, with extra turrets stuck on. The next two are Cyber Bike from puppet wars, with extra weapons stuck on.

Aeonic Orb- I currently have two of these beasties, again both are made from Khazari Droid Controller, with other components add to the figure. So the red orbs are a pin pong ball and the other is a large marble Surprised

Tomb Sphynx- The DYRRACHIUM III NECRON TOMB WORLD ARMY LIST allows you to have 2 Tomb Sphynx. So I order are set of puppet wars figures. The figures are no longer for sale and so I can't remember the names of the figures. Again nothing fancy and basically the figure as is.

Pylon – I have six of these and you can no longer buy the figures. A very straight forward figure to look at, one of them was missing a part, but i manage to fashion a piece that work.

Abattoir- Most of the pictures I see of this beast are a pyramid and so I through I would be different. I have tried to show wants in side the beast, or want might happen, its still a work in progress and looks a bit clean, I still have more chain to add to the bottom. The main figure is from Puppet wars Cyber Giant Beetle, with parts add to the platform.

Armoured Vehicles

The Necrons forces have two main vehicles, which follows:
Monolith- I have 32 of these and they are no longer for sale. So I will need to find a proxies that will make a nice stand in, to fill the gaps.

Obelisk- The other vehicle in the forces. I stole the idea for the Obelisk of the Tac Forum from leaxe. It is made of two pieces that are both from the 40k Necron range. The two pieces are LYCHGUARD DISPERSION SHIELD and the TRIARCH PRAETORIANS ROD OF COVENANT TOPS. So this allows me the ability to make more if I Need to, although having 40 of them may cover me.

The rest of the force

Scarab Swarm- Well i have 24 bases of these, out of the three army list to choose from only two allow you to use these guys as units. The figure are no longer for sale.

Flayed Ones- I have never been happy, for the proxies people have suggested for these. So i looked around for something else, which lead me to mircworld games web site. I ended up ordering the Owlbears from him. The figures are really nice, i know they are a touch big, but they feel right to prox in for the flayed ones.

Destroyers/Heavy Destroyers – I currently have enough figures to do 9 units of 6 figures each. The figure are no longer for sale.

Wraiths- These are real nice figures and my paint job doesn't do them justices. They were a pain to put together, since they are small and come in four parts. I have 18 bases, with two figures are base.

Tomb Spyders- I have enough of these to do 6 units of 6 figures each, but they mainly be used to add to the infantry. The figures are no longer for sale.

Necron Warrior,Immortals,Pariahs and Necron Lord- The figures i used are from the exodus war range of excellent edenites range. I have the pictures below down in group shoots. So each unit will have necron lord, necron warriors, pariahs and immortals.
