NTaW Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Very nice painting, great bold colours. They will be very eye catching on the battlefield.

Master Toddius Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hail and good tidings, Brothers.Got the Overlord completed. Hes actually magnetized to this base. He will also be used on the Command barge when completed. I painted him without the cape, I can't figure out a clean way of photographing the inner back of the main body. Yes I know it wasn't necessary - but my OCD wouldn't let it slide. Comments and Critiques Welcomed. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349224-purple-crons-2x-20-man-squads-goal-completed/#findComment-5137255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTaW Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Did you choose green for the energy colour based off Necrons coming with plastic green rods? Personally I think painting over the acrylic always looks better you've matched the colour quite well.

Master Toddius Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Did you choose green for the energy colour based off Necrons coming with plastic green rods? Personally I think painting over the acrylic always looks better you've matched the colour quite well. My thoughts ran to the green because I really like the tone, I've been using green rods on models for a long time. But the color scheme really was inspired by: Thannks for the comments!! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349224-purple-crons-2x-20-man-squads-goal-completed/#findComment-5137858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegonXX Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The colour scheme reminded me of Lex Luthor’s armour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349224-purple-crons-2x-20-man-squads-goal-completed/#findComment-5155908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This is one of those things that seems so unusual on paper, but looks stunning when completed. Very nice job on these guys.

Master Toddius Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks! Ya painting the prototype had me tentative on committing to the purple. But I thought - why not. I don't have any other purple armies. I figure necrons are so far removed as a Xenos group, and there are so many of them scattered among the tomb worlds, there has to be a large variety of heraldry. Its a little wonky, but fun. This has been a strange experiment but the results are making me happy. lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349224-purple-crons-2x-20-man-squads-goal-completed/#findComment-5157494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 By the way -- I'm still working on the 39 sets of arms and gauss flayers. It is taking quite a bit of time to complete them. I'll post picks one squad at a time once I get there.

Magos Takatus Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Amusingly, the first thing I thought of when I saw the green and purple was this : https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/b/b4/Constructicons-G1-animemodels.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20150913094605 Those are some really bold looking Necrons. Nice work, I hope finishing the arms goes smoothly.

Master Toddius Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Squad 1 Completed. 20 man including the prototype. Now working on the other 20. So many arms and gauss flayers, so little time. lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349224-purple-crons-2x-20-man-squads-goal-completed/#findComment-5172301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTaW Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 That is some brilliant colour inspiration. I look forward to seeing more! At least with the Warriors once you have 40 done you're pretty much done with needing them unless you play apocalypse-level games all the time.
