Description
I was intrigued by playing only recently Dawn of War: Soulstorm...yeah I am a game lagger, usually I wait till its cheap. And was intrigued by the Necrons. However, I agree with the controversy over this faction it definitely needs a redesign. (Its Tomb Lords with Space Ships...and a little too human like.) So I was trying something a bit more alien, abstract and terrifying. Still working on different component ideas.Its something I have a little fun with. Tearing apart universes and putting them back together.
So this is a Necro Warrior. I am still working out the flaws. This is one of many variations of theme I was working on.

You know what is scary about the necrons ? Their total lack of expression and their hunched position giving them a ghoulish atmosphere. It's always cool to think about how you could redesign them but I think you should keep their "expression-less / emotion-less killers" style. Now this one is greatly done but when working try to keep in mind that necrons are not uber-robots from space, they are basically space-undeads.
Hope this helps

I know this, hence why I enjoy their faction, but I believe their design is too "human" It needs something other-human.
Necrons...have many forms...Flayed are the ones with the most pronounced hunch...but most of the other designs are more high shouldered. They don't have the umpf...or disembodied look that I have seen in other similar ghoulish ideas.
Like the Thousand Sons Chaos Marines...who are very similar in concept...disembodied armor with a soul/warp energy within. So I was aiming for something within those lines...but more alien...and more terrifying. It will take some research on them (Necrons)
Thank you for the info...I will be going along those lines. (Oddly enough after I read the codex about the {Iron Men} robots that revolt and start attacking humanity causing the Dark Age of Technology. I found it very hard to accept Necrons in their current format...because they are too close to that concept.

The onlye necron soldiers that are not hunched are the pariahs, and that's because they are not necrontyrs but human that have been necrontified.
But what I was pointing out is that your sketch is actually much less scary compared to the necrons because of its angry looks.
The Men of Iron you are referring to were basically human made of iron with an intelligence of their own, they didn't have any hunched looks as they were designed to ressemble humans.
Necrons are much much more sinisters and are totally mindless creatures under the control of their lord, they do not think or feel and their current "official" looks totally reflects that in my opinion.

I just found out recently...though that they changed the necrontyr codex...and now it has a necron prince...of the race before it was tricked...and so the story goes...but I still am not quite sure about the over-arching design as it is now. I didn't color it eith the effects are better with coloring...but we will have to see.
