MithrilForge Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 So, ETL progress... the Cryptek is about finished And this Damn Ark is nearly together...this thing is Darn Fiddly anyone else have slight problems with this thing??? (the next one is definitely going to be the DDA) gotta glue the guns on and the top Driver panel... i think i want to put him on a larger base as the flying stand is sooo wobbly Might get a large oval and put the flying stem in the middle of that and base it the same as the other units...

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yeah, Arks of both types are incredibly fiddly to put together. If you have a three-d printer I believe there are alternate flying stands available that aren’t as wobbly as the one provided in the kit—perhaps you could look into one. I can’t link them here, but you should be able to find them.

MithrilForge Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks for the tip, (No available 3D printer though ) i was going to use an oval Base and two plastic stems and support it on 2 points for stability Cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346045-mithrils-necrons-reawakened-again-for-2022/page/3/#findComment-5348960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I was considering doing the same. They wobble so much! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346045-mithrils-necrons-reawakened-again-for-2022/page/3/#findComment-5349218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 ETL update... just before i do a Leadbelcher spray undercoat of that damnable Ghost Ark ... i thought i'd put my 2nd vow together so i can spray em all at once and not waste that precious spray paint ... i may put more stuff together(depends on what i find ) here's the really nice and well made NightScythe and the plastic lord (i kept the cloak off of him as it would be impossible to get paint under there if i didn't ) Cheers, Mithril Tyriks 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346045-mithrils-necrons-reawakened-again-for-2022/page/3/#findComment-5351871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 update- whilst waiting for good spray weather i have dug out the next part of Vow 2 - the Monolith!! * thanks to NtaW for suggesting soapy water...it's doing the trick with a scourer used gently.... this was my previous crazy idea of a sand covered old monolith to look ancient ... anyways cleaning it up for a repaint...

MithrilForge Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Question guys, - I found my other DDA yesterday (yay for me) so i'm putting it together this weekend (not looking fwd to it really) but i want to make the DDA from it but was thinking to put the BFG on the top side...is this doable?, has anyone done this ...?

Tyriks Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Yep, all of mine have the gun up top. You can't use the normal prow, you have to use the gem thing from the ghost ark instead. And there will be a small hole on the top of the gun where the flying base goes, easy enough to fill. And yeah, building DDAs probably drove more Lords and Ladies mad than the Long Sleep!

MithrilForge Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the heads up, i'll build it that way then(prowless i assumed as that would take the first shot...maybe it's in theme then -random shots etc) if it was an ork gun i'd put a crosshair on the fill in spot perhaps not with a necron weapon cheers, Mithril ++EDIT++ haha (not really) i just tripped down some stairs at work at lunchtime whilst running up and down for exercise go figure... Twisted it badly so now i think i'm sitting on the couch tomorrow foot up!...perhaps putting a Doomsday Ark together trying to find a silver lining to this pain cloud Edited August 2, 2019 by mithrilforge Tyriks 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346045-mithrils-necrons-reawakened-again-for-2022/page/3/#findComment-5356437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 So with the Newcrons on the way I dug these guys out as well as my T'au… I will be repainting/finishing all units in my Novokh theme (I only play with mates so colour schemes won't matter when it come's to choosing Dynasties) starting with my Cryptek... just changing Mephrit colours to Novokh, not a great deal to change WiP... Cheers, Mithril and yay for new necrons!!

NTaW Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I did really like that green but a unified scheme will look splendid and your Novokh colours are crisp. Did you tape those Scarabs to get the lines so nice? I know I've seen them before but those are some eye catching (and dissolving, I suppose) critters! EDIT: and on the Cryptek's back!

MithrilForge Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Thanks for the likes,...All the lines are Freehand it wasn't easy though...but you get used to it and clean it up with red @ NTaW - I liked the green too but my mates said uniform scheme all over was better too, now i'm looking fwd to a red and white tide Not sure what to do on the ghost ark though ?!?... Cannot wait for a new Monolith though!!

MithrilForge Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 WiP this weekend, painting my NightScythe in the Novokh scheme.... Doing the white in the recesses of the red was a bit of a pain in the proverbial need to highlight the red(probably tonigh i'm hoping) anyways that's my update so far... cheers, Mithril Tyriks 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346045-mithrils-necrons-reawakened-again-for-2022/page/3/#findComment-5532649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Ah yes, painting in the recesses. I know that pain well At least you can take solace in it looking great What red is that, Wazdakka? For the Ghost Ark maybe you could pick panels to make red or white instead of splitting the scheme like you have here since the ribs don't offer much and have so many angles already. You could still go with the freehand lines on the main chassis since it's easier to set angles to (in my eyes anyway) with the bigger side areas or keep to the same blocked off colour.

DarkApostle7 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The gold on the Novokh scheme looks amazing! Love how it looks both brand-new and agelessly old MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346045-mithrils-necrons-reawakened-again-for-2022/page/3/#findComment-5532811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Thanks guys , @ NTaW - the red is my fav red - Mephiston Red...just about three coats though over silver... Regarding the Ghost ark, you may be right...probably paint the ribs in red ,maybe a white stripe down the back over the driver(pilots) head area nothing complicated,goodness knows the thing was a pain to build I don't need to add to the headache with a convoluted paint job @Darkapostle7 - thanks, I did enjoy doing the gold, good old retribitor gold and Agrax washes... Finished highlighted one wing side- * actually it's hard to tell it's even highlighted...my potato camera phone needs to take better shots...

Plague _Lord Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The nightscythe looks great! Are you going to make lych guard and if so, will they have sword and board or a more aggressive loadout with the warscythes?

Dread Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I've been going nuts on my pointy ears lately but dug my Necrons out to begin painting on the unfinished ones. I really like your scheme. It's nice and clean, beautiful work as always. Now get the ark done, haha.

MithrilForge Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) ok, WiP update time, First base coats on the ghost ark and some Warriors repainted to Fit into my Whole army being in the Novokh Dynasty scheme... The Ghost Ark is such a pain to paint once it's been put together I don't Think I'll be getting another one unless it's a Captain obvious to include more in the new Ed... such a lot of painting time for a Transport... Cheers, Mithril ++EDIT++ sorry for potato pics, when the armies done i'll try and set up some kinda light box setup to get some decent shots...
