Puppets War Get Ready to Reap Your Cyber Souls
June 27, 2012 by brennon
Puppets War showed off a little bit of this particular fellow a few weeks ago, but here is a bit more detail on their Cyber Reaper...
As you can see he has a distinctly robotic feeling to him beneath the cloak. I like the eerie clawed hand, the positioning of the scythe and of course the fact he is 50mm tall! That's a mammoth Necron...erm, I mean 'Cyber Reaper'.
The eagle eyed amongst you might also notice the beginnings of a certain vehicle in the background...
So has this changed your mind on the Reaper?

Interesting adaptation of the original:

The scythe now has a smooth new blade and power cabling and the skull has been elongated and made to look less like bone specifically so this model can be a ‘Cron Overlord or C’tan Shard – a clear indication of how big the 40K market is compared to WHFB. Still, it’s a good looking piece in a great pose. As for the cockpit in the background, the two-man arrangement suggests a not-Valkyrie is coming soon…looking forward to seeing that…
I kinda was hoping for a taller, skinnier, and bonier model to make a c’tan shard, but I guess that it would make a pretty cool overlord model. It could also have been used for pre 5th edition fluff as a necron lord that serves the nightbringer as well.
I prefer the fantasy version to the c’tanborgicron thing.
Our club logo is a Reaper so I have been watching out for this release.
