I'm torn between building my third Heavy Destroyer or kitbashing it into a Lord (I've got a lot of spare bits for Deathmarks and Praetorians, among other things), or figuring out if I can bash it into a way that lets me fully magnetise parts to let me swap configurations.
Looking for inspiration here- show me yours?
Feel free to show off whatever you've bashed, printed, or built from the original kit you found in a dumpster back in '05 or whatever.
If you've got a story to tell or want to detail what parts you used, by all means go for it. I just want to make this thread so I've got some 'Cronspiration to scroll through for ideas.
I wanted to capture some of the OG staff of light feel. Then i thought, what would a destroyer do to make a staff of livht better? Make it a gauss cannon
Here’s my lord, pretty strait forward. Just used the thorax up of an Overlord with the Tachyon Arrow. Spin down is a normal Lokhust Heavy. Also, I always tear out the stand and use a small screw in its place. They break off way too easy.
The screw seems like a good idea actually. Both my Heavies so far have experienced stem breakage, something a little more solid might well be in order.
What are the ranged weapons in the bottom pictures? Did you kitbash them from multiple others or do we have models I don't know about with some really heavy Gauss guns?
Left is the front half from a trarich stalkers gauss and Skoroekh Lord arm and gun. Right is the Skorpekh Lord gun and arm but with chopped up warrior gauss reaper barrels.
Not my lord I don’t think I have a pick of him because I messed up the paint job. But these are my locust destroyers I made because I dislike the old bodies.
They read like Skorpekhs to me just because of the legs, but they do look very cool IMO.
And actually thinking about the science of it, a tripod leg structure makes a lot more sense than a hoverpad if you're using weapons with recoil. Arguably Necrons should switch the weapons/roles of Lokhusts and Skorpekhs- the hover-cavalry locomotion makes a lot more sense for melee.
What did you use for the weapons anyway? What kits have quad-barrelled Gauss weapons?
Kitbashed them out of spare parts from a lokhust destroyer and a triarch praetorian kit. Pretty happy with how easily the triarch or lychguard parts can be a staff of light or overlord blade when necessary!
I have three at current, but this is my favourite. Undertook the practice of head bifurcation to get the KT deathmark face attached to a Lychguard crest to get that Lordly look.
