The extra mile.

Hey everyone, I'm going into a 555 point tourny in a few weeks, and you can win points for a themed army. so i thought to myself..... How does one theme Necrons? If anyone has any ideas,please let me know... even if there stupid, I'd like to hear them.

[The Tomato]

A spechial modeling theme? Like steampunk?

Or a list based on Imortals?

Please explain more carefully.

Still, no worries?

Someday when I have enough money I'll be making a 2500pt list of crons that's quite a bit more "choppy" than most with a lot of flayed ones and wraiths. For a narrative theme they are Dark Necrons, necrons possessed by the trans-dimensional beings known as the Ing. ( metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Ing ) As with other possessed creatures from Metroid Prime 2 they'll be painted black with some red for variety, like eyes, runes and I'm even going to replace the green translucent rods with red ones.

I think a cool themed army would be a Necron lord (Pharaoh) and his tomb guard... paint the lord in extravagant gold, and his personal honor guard, give them some obviously Egyptian styled hieroglyphs, perhaps a themed terrain piece representing the entrance to his tomb.

The most common theme for a Necron army is the horde approch. Two lords, one lith, and a butt-load of warriors. Unfortunatley, not a good list at all, but this is how the fluff tends to envisage the Necrons.

I liked some i saw somewhere (descriptive, right?). the guy had taken the models and cut them in half, then glued just their upper parts to the base, and then based them like a marshland. The were done so they looked like they were crawling right out of the ground. Looked creepy, but oh so cool. The best part was that he had weeds and dirt hanging off them.

Very cool.

I already said that ^^, no worries though.

Well, take for example, My buddy has a vempire counts army based on a carnival of fear, his stage coach is a run away circus cart, his Grave guards are strong men. and his dire wolves are circus bears. Thats what i ment my theme.

[magnus]

steampunk crons would be cool

hello kitty crons?

hippycrons?

hell, choose a subject and theme away....

[Julio]

i say poke-crons.

you could have the chari-lith

and the piki-pariahs

lol.

but seriously, how about an army taken over by chaos? or nids? that would be awsome...everything could look like a flayed one.

or how bout decepti-crons. like a decepticon, only more necron like...

or better yet-have necrons with domesticated nids-you could have warriors riding h-gaunts...or a broken down monilith being pulled by a pair of shovel tusker fexs

How about wind up necrons, each of them can have a wind up key on their back, and on the plus side it shouldn't be too hard to model. And you can paint them all like mannequins. Just treat the lord as a puppet master

[kilzoth]

"Low Tech" crons. Take stuff like barrels and other metal terrain bits and glue arms and a head to it. Make your whole army out of appliances and random household objects. The refrigerator cron would be the best, you could have the door open and parts of an ultramarine in there.

[murah]

i really like the wind up necron idea.. i could see that working.
i could have jack-in-the-box wraiths...

Another idea i had was based on the fluff of the pariahs

"Pariahs represent the true horror of a Necron-ruled galaxy. They are created by fusing Necron technology with human victims who bear the "Pariah gene" (a rare and unusual genetic defect which causes the bearer to be completely bereft of any Warp presence). Within the Imperium, Humans bearing the Pariah gene are also known as "Pariahs", but are also referred to as "Untouchables" "
Now..... the Untouchables was a Mafia movie... so i was thinking of giving the Pariah pin-stripe suits and bowler hats.

[zark]

Lol that could work aswell, the Necron Mafia "Pay up or get flayed!"
