Someone thought it would be a marketable idea to release a third Necron Canoptek.

First there is the Necron Canoptek Spider from GW.

Then we have the Necron Canoptek Tomb Stalker

And now finally the Sentinel.

Okay, so three robot-spider-bugs for the Necrons are now available. Cool. Don’t get me wrong, I actually sort of like this latest release and if I played Necrons I might include one. I just don’t think there needs to be three of these things- it seems like a waste of time by GW and FW. I mean really, Space Wolves don’t even have a legal flyer yet guys and here we have a third Necron Canoptek. Really.

In the ages-old Necron panoplies of war, the Canoptek Tomb Sentinel is all but unique. One of the last war machines designed by the Cryptek master-artificer Toholk the Blinded, at the Silent King’s command it was given over to the Praetorians for wider dissemination across the Necron dynasties before the Great Sleep.

Both guardian and aggressor, the Tomb Sentinel is a heavily modified variant of the insectile Tomb Stalker, which forgoes that device’s hellish close combat ability and instead mounts an Exile cannon, a powerful weapon which blasts objects out of existence, casting them into other dimensional realms beyond the material universe. Phasing through the paltry defences of lesser races like a phantom, the Canoptek Tomb Sentinel can deploy this terrible device into the close confines of an enemy stronghold with devastating effects.

The Canoptek Tomb Sentinel is a detailed multi-part resin kit designed by Will Hayes which offers a wealth of dynamic modelling opportunities, much like the Tomb Stalker. This model is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 31st May.

Please note that this model comes supplied with a standard oval base. Scenic base shown in some images for illustration purposes only.

So if all this doesn’t make you sick, doesn’t give you nightmares. Then perhaps this will… …it sort of looks like a Canoptek, right?

No nightmares yet? Here you go.
