Cyberpunk Crypteks

[Venerable Ironclad]

It has been I while since I have posted some cyberpunk necrons in a while. you can find my old post here:

Any way, I have been working on this since the new models and codex came out. The first thing I bought was the box of immortal. Now I have always wanted some immortal but the real reason I bought the box was for the deathmark heads. Originally I had planed on using the immortal/deathmark bodies as well because I didn't what to look like I was being cheep but I had noticed that Crypteks have a profile closer to that of a warrior than an immortal so I felt justified in using some leftover warrior bodies I had lying around. (expect some immortals later)

Now I made one Cryptek for each discipline, but I haven't labeled them because I want to see if people can guess which one is which. Also, bonus points if you can if you can guess the underlying theme my Crypteks have beyond cyberpunk.

Cryptek 1


Cryptek 2


Cryptek 3


Cryptek 4


Cryptek 5


Group Shot


Now, can you figure out which one is which?

Wow..just wow, great job man, cant wait to see it painted

[Architech]

the drummer...made my day

[Lelnar]

1=Despair
2=Storm
3=Destruction
4=Transmogrification
5=Eternity

at least thats my best guess; and the underlying theme is a rock band with synthesizer. again all speculation.

You got the underlying theme right but only 2 of the Crypteks. I am going to let a few more people guess before I give the answers.

Cryptek 4 would make a great Szeras.

[Architech]

I don't know the necron dex at all...but my guess is

1. Destruction
2. Storm
3. Eternity
4. Transmogrification
5. Despair

This is just made of pure win. Well done Sir, you've made my day.

[Dragonknights]

1. Transmogrification
2. Storm
3. Destruction
4. Eternity
5. Despair

[Venerable Ironclad]

1. Transmogrification
2. Storm
3. Destruction
4. Eternity
5. Despair

You sir are completely correct, good job.

[StainlessSteel47]

So that's what you do with all the extra parts...looks awesome!

[Architech]

it's that or this

[Dragonknights]

You sir are completely correct, good job.

Thanks but to be honest..... Storm, Destruction and Despair were easy to regonize but I had to guess for the remaining two. ^^;

[Venerable Ironclad]

Well I am hoping that the paint will make it that much more clearer as to which cryptek is which.

That's how I seperate my Crypteks. I all give them a universal paint job so that they fit in with the rest of my Necron army but the eyes, the orb and the staff I give different colors to represent which harbringer they are.

1. Transmogrification- Orange
2. Storm- Yellow
3. Destruction- Green
4. Eternity -Dark blue
5. Despair - Purple

Had a look at the original thread and that is just so unbelievably epic and cool!

So cool I'm going to do something similar. Although I don't intend on doing Cyberpunk, I'm going to place UV 'Blacklight' LEDS on a Monolith and then use UV paints on appropriate parts of a necron army, so guns, runes and so on. Probably won't look anywhere near as cool as that, but I'm so excited to find something to really inspire me to get a whole army built, modified and painted.

With LEDs I can use batteries in the monolith, however it won't be as bright as yours by any means!

[Fingers]

I think one of them is Ringo...

so from left to right, that makes:

George
John
Ringo
Stuart Sutcliffe
Paul

Of course Ringo could double for Pete Best

Not to resurrect a dead thread, but I would like to let people know that I am continuing to post images of my cyberpunk necron in a new thread in the painting / conversion / artwork area. Feel free to follow the link below.
