Necron Destroyer Lord Conversion

[Gazpoole]

Me and friend are going to be going halves on a necron army for us to use in our games and I'm thinking about some unit combinations. I really like the look of triarch praetorians, and the idea of having effective, non fragile jump infantry really excites me.

Just reading their profile I get the feeling they're most effective/better rounded with particle casters and voidblades rather than rods, but I'd like to mix a character in there and I've come up with the idea of converting a 'destroyer lord' out of triarch pieces and some others. The destroyer lord is listed as 'jump infantry' as destroyers are obviously no longer jetbikes, so I feel pretty confident I should be allowed to convert an actual jump trooper and use him with the destroyer lord profile. A unit of 7-8 of them along with a lord with warscythe and res orb just seems too sexy to pass up as your core CC unit. I really don't like the idea of just shoving that horrid official destroyer lord model in the unit, as legal as that would be, as it just looks horrible. (IMO)

Does anyone have any ideas for this? The GW website says the necron overlord finecast set comes in 5 parts, does anyone know what these 5 parts are? If it's broken down fairly well it could allow for me to quite easily make one using the body parts from a triarch praetorian. Or what about the lord parts from the annihilation barge set?

Any help is greatly appreciated before we buy anything.
