Welcome to this Necron Monolith Comparison video where I showcase my painted New Necron Monolith and closely compare the Necron Monolith Old Vs New. I'll be talking about the build, including my magnetisation work, plus I explain why I think it's worth every penny. It's coming right up...

The new monolith looks like an earlier version of the old one. The cleaner lines of the old one hint that the technology is concealed and protected inside it. The new one has more of a steampunk vibe about it, as though it's an unfinished prototype with it's guts all visible - hardly the final design you'd choose for a giant tank!

Happy new year Nick, I can’t remember if I have mentioned this in the previous look at it, but I always got the impression that rather than controlling the monolith, the Canoptek, is maintaining the energy field of the golf ball, it doesn’t look entirely stable to me, almost unrefined, I like to think that it is bleeding off energy and converting it to other uses

Fantastic comparison vid mate. I agree with you on the Canoptek Creature. I would have preferred them to keep the arch but just add more details such as Necron symbols engraved into it. But otherwise it is a superb upgrade to an iconic miniature.

@IDICBeer 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate, the Canoptek theme seems to be the new big things for Crons, it certainly does add to the detail of the mini, but it's my least favourite thing about it, a shame they integrated the tail into the armour rather than an add on

Great video Nick, nice to see the details - I am liking the new one more than the old one now, although I think you could glue on a spare head if you miss it from the old emblem! Also your talk of how choice is good struck a nerve, that sums up one of my (very few) grumbles about the new Necron minis and codex design - the new guys have few or no choices for options, like compare them to 5th edition changes and it's really stark (so many Spyder combos). That and the weird choice of wording on how to equip Overlords (apparently you start with tachyon arrow and the glaive and then have to change one weapon may mean you have to remove both options, just the old way was easier ya know...).

It does look good, but I'd prefer if there was a way to replace the Canoptek critter with something else, also would see if I could put a crystal instead of the golf ball. I'd say if I could mod the old one to give it more details I'd definitely prefer it to the new one, by a lot, it would feel more Necron too.

@thorveim1174 3 жыл бұрын

Same.. it looks out of place overall out of filling the back. It looks like it would be such an easy target from bhind, and worst of all, we have no idea what it DOES. Is it piloting the monolith? (in which case the pilot of such a vehicle is horrendously exposed) Is it just acting as a control for the crystal? (then why isn't it something more integrated instead of seeing just sitting on there?)

Very cool model Nick. I love this cold monochrome scheme. And now that I've seen the two monoliths in direct comparison, I'm also sure that the new model will match my color scheme a lot better than the old model. But I'm still not convinced of the Canoptek construct. It looks like a foreign body to me and somehow disturbs the look.
