Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Welcome, distinguished members of the Necrontyr scientific community, to this scientific summit! Over the next one-twelfth of this planet's revolution, we look forward to seeing your most nightmarish, your most insane, your most inspired creations and war machines.Please, take advantage of the full facilities available here, and if you get a chance please convey your thanks to the Naculan Chief Cryptek who has allowed us the use of this facility. Now, off you trot, let's see what you've got for us!Welcome, everyone, to the first (hopefully) annual Crypteks' Conclave, a new event where you, distinguished Phaerons, get to display your creativity and show off your best conversion work over the next month.For the purpose of this challenge, we'll be defining a conversion as any model that has:-greenstuff, that is intended to alter the shape or form of the model-bits from another kit (dual kits, i.e. Lychguard/praetorians and Immortals/Deathmarks, and if it comes up warriors/scarabs, will be handled on a case by case basis if you combine bits from the kit but not any others)-3rd party bits-3d printed parts, or any other material that would normally not be found in a GW model/unitThe goal of the event is to convert a model, either from the necron faction, outside of it, or certain Age of Sigmar models, to a model or unit with rules in the Necron codex (or applicable gaming system like Kill Team), though if you'd just like to have fun and build a single tomb blade, for instance, that's perfectly OK! So long as you've got a model to the conversion standard you'd like by the time the competition is over, you win yourself a completion badge.The competition will run for a month, starting April 7th, and ending May 7th. The ending time will be midnight GMT, if it comes down to that.To enter, you may make a vow in the following format, though so long as it contains the relevant information you may make a vow in whatever format you prefer.I, <name>, promise to submit to the Crypteks' Conclave my creation of <model you'll be entering> for review before the Conclave dismisses.You may vow multiple models, and if you complete one vow you may make another vow. Failing the second vow will not render you ineligible for the completion badge for your first vow. The following badges will be up for grabs: Completion: Warrant of Technosorcery Including bits from other armies: Xenospecies Experimenter Finishing a vow within 24 hours of declaring it, or 24 hours before the time expires: Time is of No Consequence Participation list: Midlight: Illuminor Szeras Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch: Ghost Ark Edited April 8, 2020 by Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch BadgersinHills, Triszin, Bruce Malcom and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgersinHills Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 This sounds fun!! I've seen a conversion for Flayed Ones using Sylvaneth bits that seemed pretty interesting..... and I have Sylvaneth bits here.

Midlight Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have one that I've been thinking of for a while. So, it seems I'm going first. I, Midlight, promise to submit to the Crypteks' Conclave my creation of Illuminor Szeras for review before the Conclave dismisses.

I have one that I've been thinking of for a while. So, it seems I'm going first. I, Midlight, promise to submit to the Crypteks' Conclave my creation of Illuminor Szeras for review before the Conclave dismisses. Well, first out the gate isn't so bad! Illuminor Szeras is one of those units ripe with potential for conversion. Vow recorded, brother. :tu: As for my own part: I, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch, and sponsor of this conclave, promise to submit on behalf of my own technomancers to the Conclave for review my creation of a Ghost Ark, built from the bones of an Adeptus Mechanicus Skorpius Dunerider, before the Conclave dismisses.

Midlight Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Progress update. I have made most of the body, mainly using bits from the cryptek with canoptek cloak. Needs a little greenstuff work to tidy up some edges and the such. Next item on the list is the face. I may be looking through my mechanicus spares for some of the more heavily augmented faces, I want something with lots of occular devices.

Midlight Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Been feeling a little under the weather the last week so I haven't made any progress. It would seem quite typical for my luck that as soon as I start this conversion GW goes and shows off a better version. Anyway, back to it.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yea, my first though at seeing Szeras after ‘holy :cuss that’s amazing’ is ‘aw crap, my conversion’s done, ain’t it?’ In any case, a conversion is still a conversion, so whenever you feel up to it (as always, RL and your health comes first), you can get back to creating.

Midlight Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well, I got a little more work done on Szeras this weekend. I'm now happy with his main body. Unfortunately none of my mechanicus heads really fit with the look I was going for, so I've gone with one of the spares I have from a lychguard squad. I have sorted out one of his arms, his main weapon arm, looks pretty good to me. Just the other arms to sort out and he'll be good to go.

Brother Dallo Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I, Dallo, promise to submit to the Crypteks' Conclave my creation of a Necron Lord for review before the Conclave dismisses. A while back I bought a friend out of the hobby and he had a pile of Necrons. I think it’s about time I used some of them.

Brother Dallo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hi folks, Looks like I've missed out on the Completion in 24 hours badge by a few minutes. For what it's worth, it was completed in less than 24 hours, but the photos and upload took a little longer. Here is my converted Necron Lord. C&C Welcome.

Dallo *whistles slightly* I don't know what you mean, more than 24 hours. Forum fudge time is more'n 20 minutes, right? (plus, I think we're all familiar with the struggle and stress of getting a good picture.) Looks very good, I like the casual pose he's got with the sword over one shoulder. What kit is the metal arm from? BadgersinHills 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Thanks for the kind words. The left arm isn’t metal, it’s just (poorly) stripped. As I said, these models came in a job lot from a friend. I think it’s from one of the vehicle kits, but it’s a plastic arm. Dallo BadgersinHills 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgersinHills Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) I, Badgers, pledge to submit to the Crypteks' Conclave my creation of a Flayed One for review before the Conclave dismisses. I've kept putting signing up off, but no more. I'll try and get the Flayed One done as soon as I can. Edited May 6, 2020 by BadgersinHills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Dallo Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I suppose I could get all the badges in one fell swoop. I, Dallo, promise to submit to the Crypteks' Conclave my creation of a Necron Warrior for review before the Conclave dismisses.

Brother Dallo Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Here is my second entry. Pretty proud of this one. Based on a classic conversion which did the rounds online some years back, When I paint him up, the sign will read "Nekron".

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 So, we have come to the end of the first Crypteks' Conclave! Five board members entered the challenge, and four of them walked away with a badge to show for their effort. The Conclave is proud to award Warrants of Technosorcery to BadgersinHills, Brother Dallo, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch, and Midlight. The Conclave would like to especially mention Brother Dallo, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch, and BadgersinHills for looking outside their own domains to source materials for their projects. Of note is Brother Dallo, for whom Time was truly No Consequence. As a whole, the Board considers this to have been a successful Conclave, and would like to award the title of Master of the Conclave to Brother Dallo for submitting multiple entries, and passing all the challenges set forth by this Board. (There will be an additional badge which you may wear in your sig, once I get it made ) Thank you to everyone who participated! Now then, off you trot. I hope to see you all next year, but in the meantime, I think Grotsmasha's Lockdown Painting Competition might be an excellent way to get your new creations painted....

BadgersinHills Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That was a fun challenge. Look forward to seeing this again next year. Congrats to Brother Dallo for Master of the Conclave! :) Thank you, Lenoch, for putting this event together! Brother Dallo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Thanks for running the challenge Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch. I enjoyed it and it was nice to get to post on a new sub-forum. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Some phenomenal looking conversions here, you should all be proud of your work! Special shout out to the "Nekron". I got a straight up laugh at that display of kunnin' :lol: Brother Dallo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
