Hannibals 2022 project log: Necrons

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

at the beginning of March I started to paint some Necrons. My plan is to take part in this years Armies on a Parade as well as to get a fully painted Necrons Force of about 75 to 100 power level.

Here are the first 18 powerlevel:

Ok, finally managed to post a picture here.

More to come in the next few weeks. I Edited by Hannibal

Nice!

And yes, how did you do those bases. I'm sick of seeing snowy bases everywhere :-)

Do you ask how I did the bases?

It´s pretty simple:

  • 1-2 layers of Pink Horror directly painted on the black bases
  • 1-2 layers of Emperors Children to lighten the pink
  • a heavy layer of Mordant Earth (crackle – technical color from GW)
  • drybrushed with a light grey

Advices:

  • don´t apply Mordant Earth with a brush but with a suitable tool
  • Mordant Earth should be around 2 mm thick to get good crackles
  • you need lots of time for the drying! at least 12 hours in my opinion
  • Mordant Earth on a color that is not really dry will lead to messy results
  • base color (under Mordant Earth) should be really bright – the brighter the better

EDIT: reinforcements arrived:

1 Lord and 10 Warriors.

I headed towards more contrast in the models, ie I painted the heads and blades rather darkish and tried to get a better contrast within the blues too. IMO they look better now.

30 PL of Necrons done in one month! Right now I´m painting a Hordes tournament list and after that I will come back to the Necrons, but this will be in June. So stay tuned.
