There is a wargear option for the Cryptek to take who can then release a scarab storm.
Scarabs eat stuff. Therefore this is reflected in this incarnation of the model!
Note they are not coming from the hand, but from a jar (Canoptek Jar - play on words for Canopic jar from Egyption times which stored peoples viscera when they were mummified as they would need it in the afterlife)
Not sure how many people field the Cryptek with this item, but that has never stopped Garfy from making such cool mini conversions.

Oh yes Mind Shackle Scarabs - the Necron players must take item in multiples…leadership test on 3D6 - you fail, you hit yourself in combat with D3 attacks using your own weapons. Yes I have seen a Swarm Lord kill itself.

I had an idea for a scarab swarm bursting from an artefact and engulfing a poor victim. The more I thought about it the more I wanted the victim at the centre of a scarab swarm. Almost as if a tornado had picked him up and flung him in the air while the scarabs stripped the flesh from his blood soaked bones.
Necrons the artefact could be a portal allowing scarabs to suddenly teleport through it or they could be nano-scarabs that suddenly grow in size when they leave the artefact.
So it started with a cool image in my head and then some loose fluff to justify it.

Ah right cool idea, the model itself, pose, painting etc are the usual level of quality I jusdt didn't understand the pose but now it's explained it's doubly cool  FK |

Its open to interpretation. I like models when they tell a story, i like models even more when they leave you with questions.

Looks awesome!
Do you actually also play the game a lot, or do you just paint these armies because you like painting models?

God damn, but that lot looks wonderful....
Although since it's Gareth's work, this should not be a surprise to anyone.
