Indy's Indignant: my evil undead space robots


Indefragable

Recommended Posts

I use leadbelcher spray. I have noticed some problems with the way paints cover it, like when painting abbadon over it the black looks very flat and matte, not as shiny as usual. So for regular necrons its great, for stuff like tomb blades though I don't like it.

...even if it just makes 37 Warriors go by faster....it's worth it!

That's my intention too, for the masses of troops - leadbelcher spray, for characters and 'special' units black spray!... The time saved on troops(of whom we have lots)

Easily makes up for a bit more time spent on the nicer stuff.

Hidden Content

A:

-prime black

-leadbelcher by hand

-nuln oil wash

-necron compound drybrush

-eshin grey and ironbreaker highlights on weapon

-energy parts = jokaero orange + troll slayer orange + firedragon bright + pallid wych flesh + lamenter's yellow glaze

 

B.

-prime black

-leadbelcher by hand

-nuln oil wash

-necron compound drybrush skipped this part to keep it darker and dungier

-eshin grey and ironbreaker highlights on weapon

-energy parts = jokaero orange + troll slayer orange + firedragon bright + pallid wych flesh + lamenter's yellow glaze

 

C.

-prime black

-leadbelcher by hand

-nuln oil wash

-necron compound drybrush

-agrax earthshade wash to give it a dirtier, older look

-eshin grey and ironbreaker highlights on weapon

-energy parts = jokaero orange + troll slayer orange + firedragon bright + pallid wych flesh + lamenter's yellow glaze

 

D.

-prime black

-leadbelcher by hand

-nuln oil wash

-necron compound drybrush

-eshin grey and ironbreaker highlights on weapon

-energy parts = jokaero orange + troll slayer orange + firedragon bright + pallid wych flesh + Bloodletter glaze

 

 

Regardless of other factors, I think I am going to skip the yellowy lightning effect on the energy parts since my fine motor skills aren't good enough to consistently get thin enough energy lines. Mine look too think and come off like wrapping paper or something.

I like A and C. I think C is the best as there's more contrast and interest in the body.

 

B's body is too dark and lacks definition (might look really good with a light highlight of silver though). D's weapon is too red/pink, I like the orange hue better.

I like A and C ...although with C i think i'd keep the Agrax to areas such as knee,shoulder,arm,hip and ankle joints and leave the larger areas a bit cleaner for contrast.

A&C have the best weapons colour :thumbsup:  But A's is the best coil effect.

 

Cheers, Mithril

 

++EDIT++

i just noticed your comment about the energy effect...NTAW does a good effect on his

... perhaps you can just use the same easy technique but with your own colour palette...?

Immortals

 

which do you like better?

A. Darker/Dirtier on the left

B. Brighter olive green on the right?

 

Immortals front


Immortals Top


Immortals rear


 

 

Destroyer and Heavy Destroyer comparison

 

Besides the hugh-jazz gun for the Heavy variant (stolen from a Triarch Stalker), I wanted the differences to be a bit obvious.

 

What do you think?

...still need to figure out how I want the eyes to look....classic Terminator-style red?

 

Going to base with just plain ol' sand (painting Necrons is supposed to be EASY!)
