Nice idea. I'm not too hot on the burning flame on his head but overall I like it. ot Necronish at all IMO. I haven't got any experience with the 40k Necron miniatures but if it is possible I think it might be a good idea to make it slightly less dynamically posed to give a better sense of size and weight.

I like the idea too but I must admit that I think it looks very like a necron (albeit one with a chainsaw arm). In itself that's not such a bad thing (they are robot things after all) but as WMN says, it lacks a sense of weight. I actually thought it was going to be a 40K scale member of the inquisitor's retinue when I first saw it.

Thanks for the replies.
I'll try to make next one more cumbersome, maybe that will fix the problem.
Instead of flame I first put huge mane, but somehow that didn't look enough =I=, and I made a safety bet with the flame.

Are necron heads seperate from the body? Moving it further down below the shoulders may also make the model look a bit more bulky.

The heads are separate.
I like the idea, but would have removed the weapon muzzle to make it less Necrish. Necronic. Necrotic. Whatever!
A good way would be to change the look is to attach the weapon directly to the shoulder, and remove the arm completely.
The older Necrons would be better at this, as they are more thickset.
Hena's idea is good, I think, although it would need a bit of work. A look similar to the really old Lancers, with their long stride, would be great.

More constructive replies, thanks mates. 
I try that lowering the head, and making legs more bulky for next one. Maybe shortering arms a bit wouldn't hurt either. Lionel, that knight in french forum is gorgeous, but I don't have any old knights and I have to stick 'almost' with necron bits. Old necrons would be fantastic, almost perfect lancers, but sad they are so rare nowadays.
Thanks for giving more inspiration, I'll try to make something at next week.

Damn you Charad! I was keeping my necron idea under wraps until I was ready to reveal my cunning plan!
I was intending on using Ncron warriors as the basis for my Suns of Damnation AMTL Tzeentch force!
Nice work BTW!

Hey Charad, I think these guys would look better with some grey highlighting near the joints and such.
Another interesting experiment would be to paint them in a very dark grey, and use black for shading the inner joints and rib cage. Then use a somewhat dark grey for lining the plates. That will help provide definition.
Keep it up! There are some neat design elements here, please keep persuing your idea.
