The thought process behind this started when I realised that as the tournament was running WYSIWYG, and my Overlords all had Resurrection Orbs in their steely mitts. The loadout for mine was Sempiternal Weave, Warscythe and Mindshackle Scarabs. I was tempted to just model the first two, until it was helpfully pointed out that I could use the Tomb King Apophas model.
So I took Apophas, snipped off his arm and used the old Cryptek arm that I didn't use, and then proceeded to rebuild a warscythe from Lychguard parts and use a warrior head and arm and part of a Deathmark back for the cowl. I used a few spare spine parts for his backbone, because all the high ranked Necrons seemed to have larger spines.
Also, yes, he is holding a Necron Pokéball. It was painted that way partly as a joke, but also so that it wasn't confused with a res orb. besides, how else is he going to control the Scarabs?
He was effective on the battlefield too, we were a win away from a top 5 finish, but due to weighted scoring we finished mid-table. But thankfully, the Nuneaton store came away in first place. Good times!
