Human-Cyborg Disintegrations...

Greetings once more...

I've managed to complete another model in the past week. This one took a little bit of work but I'm pretty happy with how he/it turned out.

This is another member of the crew of the Perennial Sparrow, commonly known to Hanz as "Goldenrod". It refers to itself as Zi'Phreap'Yoah when not willfully misinterpreting the orders it has been given.

The definition on the right leg is better than this picture shows.

There are some green wires in his midsection that also don't show up here.

This was a freebie that came with White Dwarf back when the Necrons were first released that has sat in its blister pack for the last (god...) 22 years. I didn't find the Necrons particularly interesting at the time and thus didn't do anything with it. I finally found a use for it.

I even thought to take a few work in progress shots with this one.

Started out with a base grey

Then painted it silver, with some wash shading

Then brushed a vallejo bronze over the body and brass on the gun

In play Zi will be a Chaos Android harking back to the Necron's origins. I rolled up some random robot stats from the Rogue Trader book. I probably won't use the Compendium robot rules, given its actually a daemon, and I don't think they will work well in the confined spaces the game is intended for.

I wanted his gun to be something a little special without having to make up any new stats and not too powerful either. So I came up with the idea of randomising its effects.

Each time it fires roll a D6.

    1-2 - Fires as a Neuro-Disruptor.

    3-5 - Fires as a Graviton Gun.

    6 - Fires as a Plasma Gun (doesn't need to charge up but cannot be fired during the next turn).

This gives it some weird effects and most of the time it won't cause any actual damage, but occasionally it will be very destructive.

Finally a quick group shot of all my "Astral Conflict" inspired models so far.

Till next time...
