Living Tomb Formation - Showcase

Nick speaking,

Here we go, I have finally finished painting up my Living Tomb Formation. The Obelisk is totally magnetised to be a Tesseract Vault, so I have painted all the extras as well, including the Transcendent C'tan. Very happy to have these finished and I can't wait to play them in a game sometime soon!

Living Tomb Formation - C'tan and Base Started

Nick speaking,

I know the Transcendent C'tan isn't actually part of the formation, but as my Obelisk is magnetised into the Vault, I want to paint the C'tan up at the same time, plus I think I am probably going to feature him in my Living Tomb list somehow anyway! It took me a long time to figure out how I was going to paint this bad boy, but I have finally decided to go with a metal body and have it morphing into green on the power tendrils! So far I have just done the metal, but I think my scheme is going to work quite nicely...

As for the base for the Obelisk/Vault, I thought it would be pretty cool to use the extra Scarabs and Vault pieces I didn't use from the kit and make a little Swarm of Scarabs that would follow the Vault, repairing it as it moved along. The base is done and I am pleased with how it is looking, I just need to paint it now...

Transcendent C'tan Cron List

Nick speaking,

I am sure there is no Necron player that isn't a little bit tempted to play this bad boy at some point, and I am no exception! Yes, it is time to get my recently converted Transcendent C'tan into an army list and start having some fun! This will be in no way my standard go to Necron list, as I think my buddies will not play with me for too long if I keep pulling him out of the bag. We don't normally bring Super Heavy type units to the table, but even so, it has to be done...

So yeah, I haven't equipped him with apocalyptic/D weapons, as they are not going to be needed for what I am up against, but even so, he has a lot of destroying power. The rest of the army is all meched up, with two small units of Warriors in Ghost Arks, a couple of Crypteks and an Overlord. Of course, The Veiltek will go into the Night Scythe with the Deathmarks, and the Monolith will deep strike in just in case I need to get the C'tan across the board a little quicker. Here is the final list, let me know what you think...

Trancendent C'tan Walker Conversion

Nick speaking,

I recently received a very special gift from my good buddy and fellow YouTuber, TheJankmaster. It was a mysterious Epic Titan mini, that he had picked up in a trade somewhere. Jank took it apart and stripped it down for me and then sent it in my direction. I filed off all the Imperial symbols, rebuilt and reposed him. I thought he would make a great Transcendent C'tan, but he was a little short, so to get a little more hight on him, I raised his head up using a plastic tube. I then added some of the LaserCutCard off cuts I had and a couple of bitz to make him look more like a Necron. I think he looks pretty cool myself, but what do you think?
