Not to mention it will make it hover slightly lower. The lower center of gravity will make it less likely to be knocked over in the first place.

I did the exact same thing on my Lokhust Destroyers. With the Ghost Arks I drilled two new holes in the base to stop the wobbling with two stands in one base.

what I hate is that GW hasnt bothered coming up with a better solution for the flying bases they know have been constantly breaking for over 20 years. ive had to repair every single battlefleet gothic model i own multiple times as well as necron destroyers. for my ghost ark i had the sense to use brass rod from the start because I knew it would break if I didnt.

Tbf GW seem to be moving away from them now in favour of using terrain to give the appearance of hovering. I magnetised all of my BFG ships and so glad I did

Thse stems are so bad for these types of models! I replaced all the ones on my Eldar skimmers to avoid this! Basically the same technique with a bigger hole drilled but used brass rod on the bases. I then put those into a cork base and used 3mm rod. Job done, and never a breakage! Unlike these Necron models the Eldar ones are hollow and can then lead to slanted models, so I used old bits of sprue on the inside to make a full depth shaft for the rod. Required pre-planning to do that, but this tip on Necrons doesn't need that. Nice one!

Thanks Nick, a good idea too, although I like the clear plastic. I drilled my holes at an angle on the Eldar grav tanks for some angled poses too he he

Ugh, I hate how they break so much! Mine broke and my fix was lots of glue and a necron warrior gauss flayer as a support 🤣. To be honest, the base has never failed be since and on the bright side, its not as much back heavy as it is when you first build it (ps, mine was a doomsday ark not ghost)

The thick rod just isn't needed this way. You can choose from four stems supplied with a flying base of various heights, so no problem there

Good idea, but playing devil's advocate I wonder if lost height couldn't be viewed as modelling for advantage, as the model is now easier to hide? 🤔
