After choping up my spare ghost ark for my necron knight i wanted anotherv ghost ark for my army. But since the back half was chopped up OOPISES! But going around the bit box and finging through the lore i decided todo a "true" Living metal ghost ark!

You are great Oberron!

I love this idea...it has the potential of becoming a REALLY awesome model.

Just some suggestions:
The one warrior on top: I think it would look great if you could give him like flayed-ones hands and open them. (instead of that arms crossed position)...not all warriors, just the one on top....would look more dangerous.

The GA in front looks a bit empty. I think it would look awesome if you sacrified some warriors and had them stand there in position, firing from the Ghost ark (if you know what I mean)...like firing from a battleship (for me, the Ghost ark is a battleship :D)
(However, this would cost you some warriors so I dont know if worth it)

Also: As you are already in that kind of style: Why not put a figurehead (warrior) infront of the Ghost ark?

You could also use some scarabs and have them crawl over the Ark, repairing stuff...


just some loose brainstorm-ideas...

I reckon just use the torso + head + arms + guns of warriors and 'strap' them to the arc's rib cage structure - they can represent the flayer arrays!

I also agree with the top warrior, having that one with flayed one claws would give it a damn menacing look.

Much respect on what you've done so far, it's incredible!

I like it! As said though, the front looks too empty.

None currently I've been entering some paint contest with a sisters of battle imperial knight and been painting a bunch of my non-vehicle necron stuff. Almost finished with all my warriors and deathmarks. I'll post pics when i've decided on a color scheme for this one. I'm thinking of normal necron colors and for the broken off parts do rune fang silver to make it look like the t-1000 from Terminator 2 judgement day

Agreed with Longjohnsons suggestions, except I wouldnt have necrons firing out, the ghost ark is supposed to help repair. The flayer arrays do the firing, so while you are on top form with the living metal thing going on, Id personally put some personalised damaged necrons in the front, with scarabs fixing (as mentioned by ebola one.

Really looking forward to seeing this painted! That will literally bring it to life!

Big update for the "true" living metal ghost ark

And a tiny lore Blub.

One of the first ghost arks to be activated from one of the first awakening Tomb Worlds. After countless battles it resorts to cannibalizing the gathered remnants of the warriors it is charged with repairing to keep the Silent King's decree to reclaim the Necron's empire at all cost. The implacable Necron legions are rising. Their number is legion, their name is death.

Oooohh I do like the lore. Fluff is encouraged, if only because it makes your army 'yours.' Why I'm working on naming all my marines. (termies, captain, and librarian done, scout, tac marines, and my techmarine in progress) If you name it, it's yours. Ditto for background.
