Necron Heavy Destroyer 1

Heavy Destroyer
-Plastic body, head, arms
-White metal heavy gauss cannon, external spine

Here be my first unit, a single Heavy Destroyer. With just 1 wound, he stands proud and t..actually he 'floats' or flies or something like that, but still proud. I'm not 100% happy with the highlighting and the base yet, so I might come back to them later, but overall, I think this miniature reaches definitely a sufficient quality for gaming purposes.

I will add another unit of Heavy Destroyers later, but that will be 2 models strong instead of just puny 1.
The paint job was fast as intended, and great fun actually. There were not too many terrible mold lines to be found from the plastic parts (the whole body), but as you can see from the upper picture, the heavy weapon was miscast and contained some molding errors. A huge maybe, but I'll fix them after I've completed a plenty of more Necrons.. and add another huge maybe. I really like painting Citadel White Metal, but their metal molds are so old, that miscasts happen constantly. I'm quite glad that most of the Necrons are plastic, because the miniature quality is better, and they are easier to fix.

Also, I didn't bother to use green stuff to fix the small gaps in some plastic parts, but that is fine for me. I'm really not that good with the green stuff, nor I have the energy to use it for a normal gaming model - maybe in Monolith I will fix something major, but that'll be it. I aim for simplicity and speed here.

So - Tomorrow begins Hari Raya and for me it means I will start preparing and priming my Monolith, which still patiently waits me in the shelf of the shop, but I will probably obtain him today. Don't hold your breath for update, since like said, I might require a bit more time with him than 'usual' (usual being 1 week).

PS. Sorry for the crappy photos. I need to improve myself seriously in picture taking.

EDIT:

BONUS

As my blog is still a bit empty, I decided to add few pics of my other army - Grey Knights. Cheers!
