Halfpint100 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hey all just a question. I made my ark into a doomsday ark and have all of the necron warrior bits spare. Has anyone turned these into reanimating necron warriors at all? Was thinking of giving them a go and see if i can bulk out my squads with some different looking warriors. Anyone got any tips?

bozo69pd Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Convert them into Flayed ones might be easier? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353448-making-necrons-warriors-from-ghostdoomsday-ark-spares/#findComment-5243615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Personally I wouldn't because there are arms cast folded across the chest, which would take way too much work to remove and replace, and all the parts you would need to add would be taken away from Warriors that could have been normally built. Here's the best executed ones I could find in a quick search, maybe they will help to inspire you. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qIbqiC4yoSs/U5ioV-_Yv5I/AAAAAAAADlY/vdTvSBlnF_U/s1600/IMG_8696.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353448-making-necrons-warriors-from-ghostdoomsday-ark-spares/#findComment-5243654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I might build some as objective markers maybe but I don't think I would try to make regular warriors out of them, for the reasons Ntaw laid out.

NTaW Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't know the person responsible for the models, I searched Google and came back with that. I think I typed "ghost ark warriors" or something similar.

MithrilForge Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 your really going through bins if you need to convert those guys to warriors that would be a lot of time and effort better spent ...making money to buy normal warriors . They would make good objectives though!! that's as awesome as i can think of Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353448-making-necrons-warriors-from-ghostdoomsday-ark-spares/#findComment-5244390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have a plan now! going to scatter the parts in a necron warrior squad to add a bit of character so they dont all look the same. I like the damaged ones still killing, it is very necron IMO. when i get some going I will post pictures Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353448-making-necrons-warriors-from-ghostdoomsday-ark-spares/#findComment-5244412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The more upright legs look interesting for more poses with normal bodies. I've been looking at converting the legs of so of my warriors to a more walking pose as the squatting one is a bit naff and basically all the standard warriors are squatting.

NTaW Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I've only cut up Necron arms to reposition but it was pretty easy with some pinning and the occasional tiny bit of GS to cover it up. Warrior legs I could see being annoying because you have to reposition the whole leg starting at the hip, not just the thigh. Still, I think I'd take all that work over trying to reposition the feet on those standing legs from the Ghost Ark sprue. They don't even all have two whole legs.

Mechanist Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Ah fair enough, I've seen a blog post on doing the repose with the standard legs and the hips is definitely the trickiest part. I've not picked up a Ghost/doomsday ark yet so not seen them. I'll stick to the repose for now.

Halfpint100 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I have made 3 so far from bits but life has stopped me making more. Will hopefully get too it tonight and post some pictures later on. Combination of warrior and ark bits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353448-making-necrons-warriors-from-ghostdoomsday-ark-spares/#findComment-5255682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfpint100 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I hope that works, added a few pictures of my work. Life is reducing the time I have, but have made a little progress. (sorry if the pictures are too big, this is the first time I have put pictures up on B&C. I need to get hold of some more full guns, the only ones i have don't have the front part or the end piece, but these are getting there. The legs which are not squatted i have been cutting apart and re positioning them. Though i have seen guides using hair driers which i might try for some others. I think these add a bit of character to an otherwise monotonous squad. Any C&C would be appreciated!

Tyriks Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Those look good. I'd suggest for the guys who are incomplete putting some bits on the base to show their missing pieces.
