INKS Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I will be needing some flayed ones for my kill team. I don't love the GW ones. I've seen some conversions online but nothing that really knocks my socks off. Also it seems like the flesh on them is often painted way too pink. Are they slaughtering pigs and wearing their skins? Because it doesn't look like human skin. lol I can't be the only one. If you have some flayed ones, or favorite conversions can you please share them with me. I'll probably have to kit bash something together I guess. Many players use the warrior kit, but I feel like I need more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatnik cryptek Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 a cheapass way to make flayed ones could be to use the necron bodies from the ghost ark as bits on a wire frame then cover then with greenstuff skin. INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Interesting. I'll look into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have seen claw bits from the AdMech range used with Warriors, and there's also knife arms from Puppetswar you can check out. Myself I found some metal ones a while back but went with a less fresh look with the skin. INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatnik cryptek Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Necrons have no love for orks as they are degenerate creations of the slann, so does anyone ever do flayed one skin in ork green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yeah, I'd like to skin them in different races. That should be fun. NTaW 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 It appears as though I am going to have to make them myself or hire someone who can do the GS work much better than I ever could. I'd like to cover them in various skins of enemies, Tau, Orks, etc. I assume not everyone has red blood. Do we know the blood color of Tau for example? I'd like to maybe but tattoos on some of the skins, very faint. Correct me if I am wrong but, we mostly see warrior types as flayed ones but can't ANY Necron fall and become a flayed one? A lord? Immortals? Praetorians? If might be cool to get a few of those models and see if I can't some how convert them with claws. Speaking of which I'd rather have long claws (thinking Freddy) rather than bladed hands and such, but maybe there is a way to make those bladed hands look good as well. Thoughts? Anyone?

Beatnik cryptek Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Tau blood was originally white as they used Titanium as an oxidizer instead of iron. Ir was turned to red to look cool. Likewise ork blood was originaalu green but turned to red to look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 so all blood is more or less red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatnik cryptek Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 For dramatic purposes yes. Also I suppose if you had a tau with a big white splatter on this chestplate from a gunshot wound some idiot would make a reference to some really gross japapese thing I won't mention by name here.

INKS Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Right... What about this "Correct me if I am wrong but, we mostly see warrior types as flayed ones but can't ANY Necron fall and become a flayed one? A lord? Immortals? Praetorians?

NTaW Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) They all can fall to the Flayer virus, there's even a short story where a Cryptek (/the whole tomb) is infected.There's only rules and models for Warrior based ones at the moment but if I recall correctly there were rules for a Flayer Cult with an Overlord leader as well as converted models in the Damnos campaign book of yesteryear. EDIT: Here's a screenshot from my phone of the formation with a picture of the converted Overlord.

Beatnik cryptek Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The maynarkh dynasty is supposed to be the source of the flayer virus and the most heavily infected. Even it's leaders are suffering a slow burn version of it abd exist solely to murder all living things. Rumor has it the silent king plans to use them in an all out assault on the tyranids someday and tolerates them as a weapon meant to be expended in the end. https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Maynarkh_Dynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatnik cryptek Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Btw, I suppose you could make your own FOs by using plastic skeleton mins maybe with a few necron bits added like heads and lower legs from ghost ark bodies and arms from unused immortal weapons. You could cut off the bayonet from a few gauss blasters to make a wicked looking flensing knife hand abd arm, have a peep at my wraith to destroyer coversion for an idea. https://www.flickr.com/photos/187483042@N03/49671763792/in/dateposted-public/ Edited March 22, 2020 by Beatnik cryptek INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'll have to see if I can get that Daemos campaign book, that looks cool. I've got some idea on how I want them to look, but getting them to look that way might be out of my ability. I am going to look for a mini sculpture do to some of the work.
