Ok, well heres the idea, i\'m starting to play 40k and since i dont have much free time at the moment i\'ve decided to make a necron army, because as most of you know you can get away with very simple paintjobs for them (well at least for gaming standard models anyway).
I initially intended to paint them the standard metal colours with some detailing but i\'ve come across the idea of doing an I, robot themed force instead. It would only be the necron warriors that i would convert and paint to look like the NS-5s from i robot, the others would just be painted in the similar colours. The conversion work on the warriors would be to fill in the \"ribs\" of the warriors with greenstuff, and remove the spine of the warrior to make the chest and back look like the carapace of the NS-5, and paint it white with the glowing red light, the only problem ive come across is the heads, in the movie the robots have very human-like heads, nothing like the necron warrior heads, so it\'s a case of finding a suitable head for the warriors, or resculpting them ???
so do you think this is a good idea, or would it look stupid, (ive never seen an NS-5 walking around witha gauss cannon lol) so maybe the idea wouldnt work. Any thoughts/ comments?

. i\'m fairly sure you\'ll find space marine heads and MANY other heads from various other games... one of which will suit the need. Then with a little easy conversion work put one together and paint it up. Post it and go to the forum about posted minis asking for comments. Hope this helps you out, and good luck! Can\'t wait to see how one turns out.
