So I spent the weekend posting about all the sweet Necron conversions I found out on different sites. Most notably were these Triach Stalker conversions that really, really resemble the artwork from the codex.
Below is how I made it and the components used, with links back to the Spikey Bits Store so you can see the parts.
Bits Parts List
- Destroyer Kit
- Command Barge Console Assembly
- Command Barge Weapons Pack (making each weapon separate soon)
Optional Bits
- Random Necron Head
- Lychguard Jump Packs
- Tesla Destructor Bits Pack (to make Heavy Destroyer)
- 1/8″ Magnets x2
So basically this is two separate conversions, one for the Gauss Cannon and Heavy Gauss Cannon respectively. To start, just assemble your Destroyer kit per normal, but do not attach the weapon arm to the provided weapon.
At this point I cut the “nub” flat and attached a magnet to hold both weapons. Probably unnecessary unless you want to swap them out for the three Heavy Gauss Cannons you *can* take in a Destroyer squad.
Then I took the Lychguard jump packs, cut them one down as shown and added the halves the the shoulders of the Destroyer.
For the regular Gauss blaster I just used it straight from the Command barge kit. I added a little spoiler bit to it from I think the other pilot harness I had lying around (from my Cryptek conversion).
To make the Heavy Gauss Cannon, I just took the right handed half, and magnetized the hole where it normally attaches to the other half of the gun. Problem is that when you put it on the Destroyer body, it gets a little front heavy. So to alleviate this I took the top “spine” piece (in red) and glued it onto the gun so it locks into the wire (in green) on his arm.
I think the changes definitely added a little character into a Ten-ish year old model kit. Please comment with how you think it looks 😀
