Games Workshop Releases New Plastic Necron Monolith kit
Games Workshop is proud to announce the release of its largest plastic kit, the Necron Monolith. Standing over 8.5" tall, it is the largest plastic kit ever done by Games Workshop and took over a year for lead designer Tim Adcock to create and construct. Players will use this new vehicle for their Warhammer 40,000 tabletop battlegames in their armies of the Necrons, a race of metallic warriors bent on the domination all life in our galaxy.
The Necrons, an alien race ancient beyond all imagining, are awakening from their sixty-million year dormancy to plague the living once more. Thousands of immortal, soulless warriors have risen from dusty stasis-tombs, intent on preying on the teeming species of the galaxy. Their miraculous technology was far in advance of any contemporary equivalent, long before the Eldar, reckoned the oldest among races, had even come into existence. Although the Imperium of Mankind has only recently acknowledged the Necrons' reappearance, their monstrous gods feasted upon colossal stars before the planets themselves were born.
Once a proud race whose empire spanned the stars, the Necrons now exist purely to serve their omniscient masters, inescapably bound to the malignant will of the ancient deities that granted their immortality. At the vanguard of their forces are the Necron Lords, their tattered shrouds flowing in an unearthly breeze as they silently compel their skeletal warriors forward. Alongside them march the eldritch monstrosities and war machines of their race, some mercurially fast and utterly lethal, some as ponderous and inescapable as death itself. The Necrons specialize in terror attacks, striking without warning, slaughtering their prey and disappearing without trace. The purpose of these attacks is unknown, but their total and devastating efficiency is without question.
The Monolith combines the properties of transport craft, armored destroyer and Necron power icon. Its ponderous form floats across the battlefield, its green crystal core pulsing with a sickly energy, powerful beams of gauss lightning whipping from its weapon mounts. The frontal section is capable of opening a dark portal and transporting Necron reinforcements to the battlefield to cause fresh havoc.
This plastic kit contains multiple moving parts and special transparent green sections to form the teleportation portal, central power core and gauss energy tubes. It also comes with a sheet of decal transfers for the Necron army. Suggested retail price: $44.99 USD / $65.00 CAD.
