Necrons: Lokhust Heavy Destroyer

Product Overview

The Lokhust Heavy Destroyer is a specialized anti-armor platform in the Necron arsenal. By replacing the lower torso of a standard Lokhust Destroyer with a massive, floating grav-platform, the Necrons have created a platform capable of mounting the most powerful anti-tank weaponry available to their infantry. They are feared on the tabletop for their ability to vaporize enemy vehicles and monsters from extreme distances.

Key Specifications

Features and Benefits

• Devastating Firepower: The unit can be equipped with either a Gauss Destructor (perfect for punching through the thickest armor) or an Enmitic Exterminator (a rapid-fire weapon designed to shred infantry in large numbers).

• Long-Range Accuracy: Designed to strike from the backline, these units excel at picking off high-value targets while remaining safely out of range of many enemy return attacks.

• Floating Aesthetic: The grav-platform design gives the model a unique, hovering silhouette that stands out visually against the more traditional infantry models in a Necron army.

• Integrated Tech: The complex cabling and energy-casing details on the heavy weapon provide an excellent focal point for showcasing your painting skills, particularly with energy-glow effects.

Assembly and Painting Tips

• Sub-Assembly: The heavy weapon is quite large and can obscure the pilot's chassis if glued early. Consider painting the pilot and the main weapon body separately, then joining them once the base coats and main washes are finished.

• Metallic Foundation: Use Leadbelcher as your base coat. Given the size of the weapon, a steady hand or a drybrushing technique will help define the metallic plates and highlight the mechanical details.

• Glow Coils: The Gauss Destructor features visible energy coils. Follow the same "white-base, color-glaze" technique used for your Immortals to make these parts look like they are crackling with power.

• Weathering: Because these units are typically found hovering over dusty tomb worlds or rugged battlefields, lightly drybrushing the base of the grav-platform with a dust-colored paint helps ground the model into its environment.

• Precision Highlights: Since this is a "Heavy" unit, take extra time on the sharp edges of the gun. A careful edge highlight with a bright silver will help the weapon look menacing and defined under tabletop lighting.
