Canadian_F_H Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Starting a little token force of Necrons because. So I'll chronical them here. As lame as it sounds I just want to paint them up like like dirty old robots... Just like my deluded mind has remembered them back in the early 2000s... So mostly metal + dirt + rust + modest OSL to match the clear green bits. Thanks for humouring me.

Canadian_F_H Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have no nice words to say about the guy who designed this spru section... Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the gates INSIDE THE CHEEKS!

Tyriks Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I agree completely. I think I've reshaped the cheeks on about 60 warriors with my knife... It is very painful.

Canadian_F_H Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 I very excruciatingly carefully cut most of it out then use a small round file... (about 1/8th inch diameter) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350790-arise-we-from-dust-unto-ash-they-fall/#findComment-5179370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Necrons have been by far the most frustrating models to build for me, and I even bought a fair portion of my stuff used already assembled Still love the models though! I'm definitely going to use a round file for any further heads I have to deal with, that's a good idea. I did the same as Tyriks cutting the cheeks smooth with my knife.

Canadian_F_H Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah. Best purchase I made was the needle file set you can always find in most hardware stores.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Ooohh, i like the overlord. What paint scheme are you eventually aiming for?

Canadian_F_H Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Well. At the moment I'm intending on keeping it simple. I started in 3rd Ed, and my brother and I were discussing Necrons this past week... We both really liked the unintelligible ancient evil Necrons were when they first became an army. They didn't communicate, they didn't negotiate. They showed up, relentlessly attacked and regenerated and once their mysterious purpose was fulfilled. They disappear. So I'm going for a less identifiable look. I just want them to look dirty, corroded and ancient. Devoid of any markings of heraldry.

Canadian_F_H Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 This triarch stalker is an interesting kit... Almost no mold lines. Potentially magnetisable for removing all the limb's for transport... Not sure how to assemble the crewman. His legs don't seam to have a clear orientation. So it would Sea I have to put them together and check and if they don't work break and Reglue until they work... IDK. Anybody ever built the crewman and left him out for painting purposes? Can he slip in and out easily enough to allow this?

Tyriks Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I build him before putting the console in. Him and his cage seat thing are definitely a bit wonky - things never seem to line up quite right.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The Stalker is a wierd kit to put together, I must say. My only proper stalker kit never had the cage properly installed, and the pilot's feet didn't sit right. Trial and error is likely to be your best way to get things done. Also, it's probably common sense to you, but when you prime the stalker, tap the forelimbs to make sure that the paint doesn't set into it and lock the limbs in place. I made that mistake and it's costing me in terms of size footprint for transport. All the same, good luck with the kit. I look forward to seeing what you do with it!

Canadian_F_H Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm feeling crazy... Like instead of glueing all the legs... Magnetizing them. For dissassembly but also to move them around. I'm already working out how to magnetize the weapon system...

Canadian_F_H Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Officially for the first time in over a decade every model for an army is at least primed... Tho to be honest every other army has many many more models. Lol. Small victories.
