Hi there, the Necron Canoptek Tomb Roach is my attempt of a simple, cheap and easy to build tomb spyder variation! This is my 1st post here btw.

Fluff: The Necron Canoptek Tomb Roach is one of many constructs roaming the dark depths of a Necron Tomb. Slightly smaller and more streamlined in shape, a Canoptek Tomb Roach can reach and squeeze into places that a typical Tomb Spyder finds rather impassable or very hard to reach like collapsed tomb tunnels, maintaince ducts or sewers.
Scuttling around quickly on six long and highly flexible legs, Tomb Roaches command swarms of Scarabs to carry out various tasks in a tomb or support them in combat with their underslung pairs of particle weapons. Usually operating in small groups, Tomb Roaches prove as one of many nasty surprises for the unwary intruders of any tomb world, as the Roaches cling to the upper walls and ceilings, mimicking their shape and structure, untill dropping down to attack the intruders shooting their particle weapons or pierce them with their deadly sting.
Here are the pics of my 1st two Tomb Roaches, some more pics can be found on my blog here:
