The Royal Awakening 2022: Prepare for Battle!

[JaM_TW]

Was busy with a bunch of other things (painting a BB snotling team for example ) but I've undercoated them yesterday.

Hope to finish them this week. 

[Kenzaburo]

2 Flayed Ones are done now, I'm pretty sure I'll have them and the warriors done by the end of the week.

Also: great progress everyone! Seems like the challenge is going well for most, if not all of us. :)

[MithrilForge]

Well, great to be Back (had log in problems but Admin has fixed it all, yay for Admin!! )

I managed to get all my vow stuff together and finally it's Undercoated (it's winter here so had to wait for a good day to spray undercoat) ,

I better hustle now and start painting !! Glad to see some others were busy during the boards dark side of the moon phase... 

@Grotsmasha ... The Silent King as well  , I don't think I'll be catching you on points...I might not even have enough Necron models to even catch up!!

So, on that note, I also need to add another 2 Plasmancers, and 5 Lychguard, apparently points changes and an inability/impracticality to run the 3 Shards and the Silent King all at once.

Plasmancers? I have to question what's going on in your patron's head, because Plasmancers are certainly not the meta cryptek choice at the moment. I do hope you're being paid handsomely for all these modifications!

An extra $100 for my troubles and the list no longer requires Imotekh, so he's mine to keep too

Some progress

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

Magnificent.

[StormbolterAndChainfist]

Good stuff!

If not too late, I, StormbolterAndChainfist, vow to finish the following:

Vow 1:

• A unit of 3 Skorpekh Destroyers for a total of 4PL

I plan to paint everything matching my current color scheme: http://bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/316186-color_scheme/

Progress:

• The primed but unassembled models (complying to the rules): http://bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/316184-01/
• And the first bit of work done: Built, washed, based.. :)  http://bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/316185-03/

Keep up the painting

The request was made for all 3 Plasmancers to not be identical, so excuse the potato pics, but here are the two additional converted Plasmancers ready for paint

[Spyros]

Fantastic job on the Plasmancers!

[JaM_TW]

Done! 

Need to clean my lens it seems...

[JaM_TW]

Next vow: 

 

Plasmancer

6 scarab swarms

2 plasmacytes

 

 

[JaM_TW]

And done. 

 

I  have a hard time linking to my gallery, so I just upload them from the laptop. I'd probably need to read the instructions again... 

I've added the models I already had in more or less the same colourscheme. So these are my Blue Crons. 

 

Next vow will be either The Deciever (need a new 1 mm drill for that), 10 more warriors, or 9 skorpekh destroyers. Ot that hexmark model with the pistols.

Still have to finish my scarabs and then base everyone, but most of my second pledge is complete. Hopefully have the scarabs and bases done before vacation, but probably having to wait 2 weeks to actually complete

I love the conversions. Having just finished painting a Plasmancer, I think they are very cool models

[MithrilForge]

Cool work Sitnam,

whats the Blue ?... I would say Thunderhawk but it looks too dark for that???..

love those Murder Buckets

And for the first post since the long dark its only fitting that the Necrontyr of the Almwat Dynasty awake (in a really bad over exposed image...)

Thank you! It's Ahriman blue, shaded with Agrax Earthshade, then the blue is brought back out a bit with Ahriman blue, and then highlighted with Temple Guard blue.

It's based off this Duncan tutorial. I do a few things, like the glowing green parts, a bit differently.

I had noticed but I honestly wasn't sure yet which was the right thread lol. Even though the photos is bad, I can tell those Necrons look great. Sick work on the Skorpekh blades

[MithrilForge]

@sitnam - Ok i see now ,Ahriman is a nice colour choice ,and also if it's a duncan colour choice =   ++EDIT++ I just watched the Duncan tutorial... basilicanum grey works well over Silver metal  thanks for posting the Link !!

@Brother Argent - That's a nice Bone Cron scheme.

This is a bit potato cam, but the clear coat is still too tacky to put in the light box for better shots.

 

So out of my pledge, i've colored green the parts that are finished:

Overlord [6 PL]
Skorpekh Lord [7 PL]
5 Immortals with Gauss Blasters [4 PL]
5 Immortals with Gauss Blasters [4 PL]
10 Necron Warriors with Gauss Reapers [6 PL]
3 Skorpekh Destroyers [4 PL]
+ 1 Plasmacyte [1 PL]
3 Canoptek Scarab Swarms [2 PL]
3 Ophydian Destroyers [4 PL]
+ 1 Plasmacyte [1 PL]
3 Tomb Blades [4 PL]
Doom Scythe [9 PL]

 

++ Total: [52 PL] ++

[JaM_TW]

Build and undercoated/painted a Skorpekh Lord, 3 Skorpekh Destroyers, another Plasmacyte and 10 Warriors with Gauss Reapers. 

Hope to get them painted this week, depending on the heat/dryness. It seems that "summer is coming" over here...

Progress!

Managed to block in the base colors for my Skorpekh destroyers over the last week (yes, I'm a slow painter).

The last few days I managed to do the highlights. There is always more detail work that could be done but I'm happy with how they turned out and consider the unit finished. As you can tell I've chosen a color scheme that maximizes the usage of the leadbelcher base coat. Mostly because I'm lazy and want to get a small army done but also those "silver" Necrons take me back 20 years(!!!) to 3rd edition. The leadbelcher was washed with Nuln Oil and highlighted with Stormhost Silver. The blades are basecoated with Sotek Green, washed with Drakenhof Nightshade and highlighted in two steps with Sotek Green again and then Lothern Blue.

 

[JaM_TW]

They look really nice. I am a big fan of that old school look, Necrons were my first army back when they just came out (end of 2nd/start of 3rd). 

 

I'll probably try to copy your "swords" 

[StormbolterAndChainfist]

Thank you! The swords are a tiny bit darker IRL than they look on the photographs, but I'm glad if it inspires you / if you find it useful.

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

Hey all, 

sorry for being MIA these last few weeks. Real Life reared up and delivered several solid kicks to the fundament. I'll try and get everyone's new vows and/or completions recorded tonight.
