    The Tesseract Ark looks kinda like that Bike-thing General Grievous used in Revenge of the Sith.
    Also, fun fact:
    That bit about Calgar using a Necron-Pylon as a weapon didn't mean he used a big pillar like a Club, he found one of those Pylon-AA Guns that was damaged, then turned it around on its base to have it fire at a Monolith.
    No, I don't know why the Necrons have two completely different things called "Pylon" either.

      I really disliked the calgar story with the pylon. It just stopped the narrative progression and ‘believability’ of the rest of the story. Just turned it back into a yay marine win story.

      @@alexkaplan6581 Since when do AA-Guns have "the most advanced AI in the Galaxy"? Not even actual normal Necron-Warriors are intelligent in any way, why would their gun-platforms be? The text specifically said it had been damaged by orbital bombardment before. It was stuck firing, and couldn't turn on its own.

      Very true but doesn’t make it good writing.
      The lore for necron equipment also includes if it’s too badly damaged it can auto teleport away or be recalled by the tombworlds AI systems or be directed both directly or indirectly to disengage, teleport away or self destruct by any of the tombworlds hierarchy.

    Having assembled a seraptek heavy construct, it was odd. It wasn’t plagued by warping or bends, though I did need a touch of greenstuff at some of the joints.
    Really, it just doesn’t fit together well. The limbs are hell, and the body needs to be filled regularly. Also getting the legs to support the super heavy body limits your poses somewhat, as it can’t really stand without at least 4 contact points. I assemble a lot of FW stuff and this one was an oddball, just be prepared for any problems when you start, and have a heat scource, greenstuff and some files on hand when you get started.

    My thoughts on the first model: I thought the necrons in the lore plugged into their vehicles, and in essence became the vehicles and used their cameras (hence the green orbs in the front, that's how it would see) Just a thought. Great vid, always fun to go over FW stuff

    As always, an amazing video - this series is a great one to tune in to when you just want to sit back and relax for a bit (your casual commentary really makes it)!
    I have the White Dwarf issue where they show the Tesseract Ark being designed/sculpted, and, if I remember correctly, I'm fairly sure that they took the back end of the Ghost Ark and shaped a big block of resin to make the front panel. To be perfectly honest, I find it a bit of a lazy design (and IDIC Beer - not sure if promoting channels in the comments is OK, but I'll edit the comment if it's not - did a great video on how to make your own using plastic kits).

    I always liked the lore and personal designs of the Newcrons, but the direction GW went with their vehicles was partly a misstep. The strongly geometric designs and smooth obsidian surfaces conveyed technology and materials advanced beyond our means. This was really strong with the Pylons and Monoliths, and have continued into the Doomsday Arks, Doom Scythes and Starstele. But the Tomb Blades, Triarch Stalker, and derpy Command Barge have very obvious joints, engines, and wiring & piping. Forge World does better at sticking with the uncomplicated silhouettes, although they trade off the pseudo-stone material for a steel coating of varying sheen.

    The Tomb Sentinel used to be a Tomb Stalker it had two gauss flayers on each side of its head and the display image was it crawling over a destroyed Tau Piranha.

    I bought the tesseract ark a few years back, and yeah, the giant shield does warp a little tiny bit on the top and the side wings, plus the edges can be a bit bulging with uneven edges, takes a lot of shaving back with a sharp knife. BUT still a nice model!
    The rest of the model is pretty much the normal command barge model and is perfect.

  • @Docktavion

    Cool, I was just reloading though this range yest as the only thing I’ve not got a proper figure for is the flyer :/
    With the ark I painted data screens on the inner face of the slab plate. The funny thing the plate gave it better toughness and saves then it was nerfed. :/
    Regarding the pylons, the large pylon had design elements of the monolith with the ribs, crystal etc and been mentioned else where it as some details you may not have seen due to its size and how it was photographed. The figure is designed to move up and down the curve and spin on the base due to it being a comms device rather then a weapons platform. Whilst the sentry pylons are much smaller and are designed for combat and also able to move :/. Fun fact there was three options of sentry pylons back in the day. I like the pylons, I’ve got two and one sentry pylon.
    Same their was a FW scarab base option too. Very expensive for very little. So wasn’t there the tomb boards as well? I’ve one of these.

    The Tesseract Pilot doesn't need to see the enemy beyond the metal. Quantum shielding makes it only exist halfway in reality. The pilot probably doesn't even see it there. Even then, Necron technology is so advanced they don't need to worry about such primitive problems like "line of sight".
