Not being familiar with 'recent' Necron models, I had to look Szeras up. Your conversion, particularly the legs, is quite seamless. The head swap works well, so does the extra 'armour.' on the back. 

Thank you! Yeah im really pleased how it came out, and i didnt have to use a lot of different parts. I think sticking with just 'cron parts is what makes it work. Although i did use old warp talon feet for the front claws.

What @Brother Christopher said - it's not immediately obvious that it's a conversion.

So I seem to need a little more than a small break, so Ive moved on to the Warboss of the Ork WAAAAAGH in the vicinity of the Primordus System. He's about 70% completed.

 

Head cannon:  he was once an extremely dangerous (possible existential threat to the Imperium) warboss 4000 years ago. Then one day, due to his Weirdboy's head exploding) he and his entire fleet were scattered into the Warp, only to find himself (and only the core of his fleet...a space hulk, 2 stolen cruisers and an extremely damaged attack moon) 4000 years in the future. 

 

Known as Da Freeboota Baron, Kommadore (Insert Ork Name Here), seeks to carve out his own empire "full 'o al da shoiny stuf." He had a reputation of being particularly favored by Mork, as he was always extremely "cunin' but brutal."

 

Now caught in a new time, with new rivals, he seeks once again to reign supreme (as one or can) over all his kind. As he gathers his bearings and seeks to rebuild, he has heard whispers of a particular Goff known as "the Beast," that may directly challenge his own might. "Da Perpl 'Ardeez" (The Void Panthers) will provide a sufficient fight to get his boyz back into "krump'n" shape, and to start his particular brand of WAAAAGH! Known as the "WAAAAAARRGH!"

 

 

So hes my Ghaz stand in...and the model is huge. I think a lot of the detail will read better once painted, but ive added a sort of "chain beard" underneath his iron gob, some admiral epulets on either shoulder, and a mekanical peg leg...and a hat of course. Whats left is to add the feather, the jolly rodger flag on his boss pole and a parrot squig on the little perch above his powerclaw arm. The yellow "stones" on his claw are going to painted like gems...as a freeboota he likea his "bling."

 

Any thoughts on a name? Suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

He looks suitably imposing. I do like the epaulets.  What's the base model?

 

For the name, you could go with something Orkily brutal, like Ed-krumpa, or something piratey, like Blaktoof?

 

As an aside, the abominable intellect suggested Braggurz Grotswindla, which feels a bit ... unheroic.  (Gitswindla might be appropriate for a Blood Axe, I suppose) Some of it's other suggestions made me chuckle - Skallywag Snortskull (notorious for shouting sea-shanties over the vox mid-battle to “keep da ladz in rhythm.”), and Snazzgob Grog-Guzzla (runs his bridge like a tavern. Promotions decided by chugging contests and headbutts.)...

Love all the details you've added to the model, the chain beard especially! Maybe something like Leadbeard for the name?
