Tomb Kings in Spess

Ok, taking a rest from the campy robot sound effects.

I tried playing Necron and Tau as allies and I was impressed by the Tau's firepower. I wanted to buy a Riptide and a Battlesuit Commander. But then I taught, why not create a Necron version of them?


Thus began the conversion of the XV104 Riptide, using Tomb Blades, Annihilation Barge and a Tomb Stalker.



I admit this conversion was heavily followed by this picture.

So in that I present to you, the Canoptek Destroyer!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have beefed up the legs with additional armour to make it less thin. Please tell me how it is.






Oh and I will be attaching a Tau Commander on to my Riptide. Rules says IC can't attach to single models, but the Riptide can take shield missile drones, which then turns it into a unit therefore making the Riptide joinable and receiving the Commanders buff.

Anyway I started work on a suitable Tau Commander for my Necrons, and I came to a conclusion. Wouldn't it be cool for the Riptide a.k.a the 'Canoptek Destroyer' be commanded by none other than a 'Canoptek Prime'!? BAM! Nailed it. Using the bitz I have from the Necron components used to build the Canoptek Destroyer, I worked on converting a suitable Canoptek Prime. The results, a towering monster of a machine with spider legs. I leave the pictures for your viewing pleasure. I had great fun brainstorming and converting this machine beasts.







Now I need to build two more units for my Tau detachment:

Shielded Missile drones. Can anyone give me some ideas and tips on how to build say... a Canoptek Drone?

20 Kroots. I am loving the Kroots as outflankers. I need to make a suitable 'feral' Necrons, and the only thing I can come up with are Necron Flayed Ones. So imagine, Flayed Ones draped with the flesh of their victims wielding Synaptic Disintegrators?

Awesome conversions  

I like the idea of flayed ones wearing Kroot as their skin.

As for the Shield Missile Drones, perhaps you can draw inspiration from Gundam Dynames/Cherudim's Shield Bits. Perhaps you can use the lychguard shield.

Awesome conversion! This army is really looking sweet!

Thanks for the feedback and ideas regarding the Shielded Missile Drones, Here is the Canoptek Drones.

Whoa, squiddy from Matrix..nice!!!

Canoptek Drones (Tau Shielded Missile Drones) done.






And a size comparision of the Canoptek Destroyer, Primes and Drones, to a Necron Warrior.

That beast looks mean!

Waah.. real nice!!

Canoptek Prime (Tau Battlesuit Commander) done!

Flayed Marks. Deathmarks with the Flayer virus, counts as Kroots and as close as I can get to feral Necrons for my Tau allies.




Back shot of the Flayed Marks. I used bitz from the Kroot sprues and grey stuff to sculpt the skin hoods.

You are insane

Hahahahahahehehehehehohohohohoho...

So much work and effort for a 6+ save units!

very nice guns!

darn you must have spent alot on those guys. ... i second AK statement.. you are insane

Tomb Kings in Spess is not dead, in fact it is far from dead. Just a short hiatus.

Presenting the air superiority of the Tomb Kings in Spess. Such a form and shape designed to perfection by the rulers of the galaxy. A shape we are all so familiar to a certain French delicacy.

omg...this thing was hardly painted when i left ard 7.
