TOMB SPIDERS
I dug up some old Zoid Cannon Spider kits I had lying around and
threw
them together. I noticed they looked more sinister with the
leg coverings
off, and that the best details were on the bottom of the body, so
I flipped
the body over. The only other modifications are replacing
the original
mandibles with some from the large Matrix Sentinel toy, and adding
a chunk
of detail to the back of the body. And of course, a suitably
dark
and decayed metal paint job...
THE HUNTERS
I made two of these beasties. Starting with a Quake 2 toy, I
replaced the fleshy arms and head on the original model with more
mechanical
equivelants. The arms are off of some old Terminator action
figures,
and the heads are made out of a color TV picture tube
emitter! I
painted these with a dark brown wash, steel and brass drybrush,
and turquoise
washes to give them an archaic look. The toy was already
well painted,
so it didn't take much to get them nicely finished!
THE DECIMATOR
This started as a Spawn toy (a cyborg alligator). After
removing
the biological looking head and armor, and some of the more
rediculous
weapons, I added a mechanical looking head, spikey tail, and some
more
rediculous looking weapons. The end result is a slow
but heavily
armed beastie. I painted over the existing colors with a
brown wash,
did some metallic drybrushing, and called it done....
THE DISSECTOR
DISSECTOR CLOSE UP
This big guy is made of several different toys. The body is made
of
an X-Men Mojo action figure (with the big yellow guy
removed). The
head is from a Star Wars Probot, with numerous extra eyes and
hoses added
on. Loads of other little bits were added, including some
tread around
the body from a tank kit. Most of the arms are from Probot
toys,
though a few are from various Quake 2 toys. The whole thing
was base
coated black, then drybrushed with various metallics and washed
with blue-green.
NECRON LORD (FRONT AND SIDE VIEW)
Whew! What a beast. This is my (rather large) Necron
Lord
model, scratch built from a wide variety of bits including an
Emperor Titan
head, a Mogera figure from Godzilla, electronics parts, Zoid
parts, and
arms off an old Mecha miniature. This guy sits on a flight
stand.
Instead of legs, three lifting thrusters can be seen in front, and
a main
thruster (square) projects from the back. I primed in black,
drybrushed
steel and brass, then base coated selected areas with turqoise
before washing
with dark brown and adding a couple red details.
I had a new love for Necrons when the Immortals came out- these models are menacing and nicely detailed. All my Necrons are painted with steel and brass colors, with heavy dark brown, green and blue washes to give them an 'ancient" look. | |
This Necron Warrior is another
example of how the
dark washes and brass drybrushing can really 'age'
the model.
No bright, shiny models here!

Inspired by the Terminator movies, I made this "Mantrator" by combining parts from a Ral Partha Skelebot and a plastic Orlock ganger. | |
The "Mantrator" is a lighter version of
the Necron warrior,
armed only with autoguns and other human weapons, but
they can infiltrate!
This is a model from another miniatures line that has
been armed with a
metal Autogun from the Necromunda Weapons sprue.

Although out of print (sadly), Milton Bradley's Space Crusade game included these nifty plastic chaos androids that make great Necron miniatures! I arm them with a sniper rifle for variety. | |
When I saw these Legions of Steel
miniatures, I had to
include them in my Necron army as assault troops- fast
and deadly..
|
|
My friend Robert tried his own hand at making Scarabs. This is a clever way to use up those spare chaos marine backpacks! |
These Wraiths are
scratch build using parts from Matrix Sentinel toys, plastic
skulls,
and leg covers left over from that zoids spider toy I used for the
Tomb Spiders.
The bases are Dominos, nice and heavy so the models don't tip
over. Creepy....
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE NECRON TERRAIN
TOO!
