Captain Coolpants Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Fiiinally got around to painting one! My new phones picture processing is very off. Which is strange considering its a top of the line phone. So not a single colour seems really true to life unlike my old phone. I attempted these on the pro mode (no idea how to use it properly) . Its close enough lol.

MithrilForge Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 WoW it's been a while since i looked here and boy you've been busy ... Dang those scorpions wraiths are sweet, i wish i'd done that to my 3 but hey...future ideas your paint work is great and the bronze/silver combo is still looking cool. have you added any thing to your lord model?, I think his face is asking for a bright coloured stripe of your favourite faction colour right down the middle there perhaps a gold stripe with turquoise trim?...  Cheers, Mithril Captain Coolpants 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369530-my-first-necron-models/page/3/#findComment-5699268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Coolpants Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thanks for the kind words all! I do feel that the lord needs something more to stand out. Definitely something I'll tinker with once I've finished everything!

Dread Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Very cool conversions ya got there. Nice styling and great inovation. The colors really bring them out.

Captain Coolpants Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Unfortunately, I cannot claim any of the innovation here. I poached the wraith scorpions and triarch spider ideas from random people online. Â But thank you so much!

Captain Coolpants Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Bank Holiday today here, so finally had a chance to actually do something! Was a mess trying to set all the legs, but its a cool model! Although I Have no idea why I even glued the antennae on. They will 100% break off. Hopefully get a chance to paint the thing in the next year lol.

Miek Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Well done, it looks great. Makes me want to get one for myself :) Â You decided to make it more silvery and less bronzy than your other models?

Captain Coolpants Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Thanks! I really like the model. I'm considering getting another. You should definitely get one if you can lol. Â I wanted more bronze, but I've painted all the shoulder and back armour/plates of everything else canoptek alloy, so it would look off having bronze on the top instead of silver. In my opinion anyways Edited June 19, 2021 by Captain Coolpants Miek 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369530-my-first-necron-models/page/3/#findComment-5712733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Coolpants Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Ive been a busy boy today! I slightly changed my tombstalker to add a bit more bronze on the back. And I finished up my spider triarch stalker. I think i went a little overboard with the glow in the middle aha. Im not too fond of the top rear abdomen though. Not too sure what to do with it.

Prot Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Oh yea. I hate painting the troops, so I plowed through 40 of them, added some HQ's. Â I don't think my Crons are particularly 'stunning' though but I really enjoy playing them.

Captain Coolpants Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 The basing is as easy as it gets. Just some small rocks I picked up from a rocky beach, glued to a base lol. Then just a dry brush and put some brown wash on small parts Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369530-my-first-necron-models/page/3/#findComment-5713596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I am so worried about converting anything anymore because I plan to play in tournaments. But these looks awesome.  I love the spure crystals. I would not have known that is where they come from if you did not mention it. I never know what to do with my bases. Captain Coolpants 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369530-my-first-necron-models/page/3/#findComment-5714269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Yeah, GW are really clamping down on conversions. But its only for 3rd party bits. I think its completely fine converting whatever you want as long as the model is the same overall size. Â I wouldn't be able to use my wraiths/scorpions regardless though, as they're mounted on much larger bases to accommodate the legs. Which is somewhat annoying considering wraiths always topple over because they're top heavy and they're bases are too small aha.

Captain Coolpants Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Been away from the brush for months! But just felt like painting today. So finished up 2 more scorpion wraiths. I have 3 more to build and paint whenever I can be bothered again.
