Painted Necron Flayers

Totally happy with how these turned out.  I used an airbrush to do the skin.  Bugman's Glow followed by Flayed One Flesh.  The airbrush gives me tons of transition.  I then sprayed a tint of Reikland Fleshshade over the whole thing before going to town on the details.  Again, really happy with how they turned out.

I was a little concerned that the skin would make them look weird compared to the rest of the army, but I think there are enough common points to tie them in.  Here's a quick shot with a few other models from my team.

A Simple Head Swap

Those Grimghast Reapers worked out pretty well.  A simple head swap using Immortal heads and I have what I think will be pretty solid Flayers.  The plan is to paint them to look like they're covered in layers of bloody skin with blood effects on the scythe blades.  The stripe down the forehead will be the blue to tie into the rest of my army.

Necron Flayers Suck

Or, more specifically, Finecast sucks.  The current Flayers are Finecast models with some pretty spindly parts.  My plan is to never buy another Finecast model.  I'll convert what I need to convert, but I'm not using Finecast parts.

This is causing a bit of an issue with my Necron army.  I can make some pretty nifty Lords and what not out of the Praetorians box, but the Flayers have eluded me.  I've seen tons of conversions online where people just put plasticard "scissors" on the end of Warrior arms.  I'm looking for something a little more exciting.

I'm going to buy some of these and see if I can do a conversion that looks convincing.  Wish me luck...
