Catacomb Command Barge/Annihilation Barge (2011 Edition)

The more aggressive Necron Overlords fight not on foot, but rather from the deck of a Catacomb Command Barge - an armored, repulsor-driven skimmer. While embarked upon a Command Barge, a Necron Overlord is able to oversee the battle, ensuring that his troops are engaged with appropriate targets and that everything is going to plan. More often than not he will become bored of watching the battle and command the barge's pilot to fly him into the midst of the action, where he can launch daring attacks on unsuspecting enemy units, his warscythe decapitating his foes as he flies past.

Annihilation Barges are the Necrons favored anti-infantry support platforms. Each is armed with a linked pair of tesla destructors - enormous energy cannons that fire ferocious arcs of eldritch lightning. The tesla destructor is primarily an anti-personnel weapon, though only the most heavily armored tanks can risk its wrath with utter impunity. Its energy discharges wreak terrible harm on living targets, searing their flesh and boiling their blood. Furthermore, the bolts will often leap from target to target before they are finally grounded, leaving a trail of smoldering carnage across a broad swathe of the battlefield.

This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 84 components with which to build one Necron Catacomb Command Barge or one Annihilation Barge. The Catacomb Command Barge is a suitably regal way to transport your Necron Lord (or named character) into battle, while the Annihilation Barge carries the brutal telsa destructor, which is just as deadly as it sounds! This kit comes with one two small flying stems, one large flying base, one 25mm round base and two Necron transfer sheets. This kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - they recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.
