Bilirubin Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 ........deepest, darkest Kent. An army of Szarekhan fighters are emerging from their slumber in readiness to cleanse the universe and destroy all before them. My intention is to update this thread with pictures showing the progress I am making as well as new editions to the army. I am starting with 10 x warriors so pictures to follow. I am not the quickest painter so please be patient. Tyriks, MithrilForge, Spyros and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Coolpants Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It doesn't matter how slow the awakening is, it'll be infinitely faster than mine lol. Looking forward to seeing the progress Bilirubin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilirubin Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Okay the first phase of painting 10 x Necron Warriors was to undercoat them with Citadel Leadbelcher using a rattle can.

Bilirubin Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 The next phase of painting the warriors was to apply Citadel Canoptek Alloy to the front of the faces/sculls and the shoulder pads.

Bilirubin Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Next up I used Citadel Runelord Brass to paint the remainder of the Armour panels including the breast, side & back plates as well as the feet. Sorry it all looks a bit pale and lifeless at the moment, there are other colours coming in soon however the first stages are all about the alloys, steel and brass.

Bilirubin Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Next up and at last a bit of colour/contrast I used Citadel Black Templar Contrast. I will be honest and say this should have been a very light "wash" enabling the silver/metal underneath to show through however I have applied it a bit too thick. On the plus side I like the contrast against the metals of the other parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I did the exact same thing with mine lol. But like you, I liked the contrast so kept it. Bilirubin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM_TW Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yeah, I expected a Nuln-oil wash but this also works Keep on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilirubin Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Next up I used Citadel Fulgurite Copper on the magazine in the weapons, the little wires in some of the leg joints and any fraid wires underneath the weapons. Sorry the pics are not that clear, I am using an old iphone and the macro setting is not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilirubin Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Next, I painted the tube on the Guass Weapons and any tubes hanging down on the front of the body with Citadel Corax White, this is an undercoat for the green that will come later.

tedlambb Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Looking good! Nice to see the progression coming along so well, I like the black and would have kept it too :) Bilirubin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilirubin Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Next up is to paint all of the armour I previously painted with Citadel Runelord Brass with Citadel Cryptek Armourshade Gloss. Once again this is more of a wash to darken down the entire surface. Once again and much like the black above I was not happy with the results however it does get resolved later in the project.

Bilirubin Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 In this next section I have condensed some of the processes as I did not want to bore you to death. The 4 x pictures are all showing the same results, but it was achieved in the following order. 1/ As the last process applying the Cryptek Armourshade Gloss resulted in very dark figures I applied Runelord Brass again but only to about one third of the area, I am trying to create hi-lighted areas where the light falls on the figure. 2/ Next, I applied a small amount of Canoptek Alloy to add even more highlights 3/ Finally I spot painted tiny spots of Vallejo Chrome to really make the light pop. 4/ I used Corax White to paint the eyeballs 5/ I used Nuln Oil on the blades to give them a used, battle worn look, it darkened the crevasses and lines. 6/ Finally I used a tiny amount of Citadel Agrax Earhshade to highlight the magazines in the weapons. It ran into the gaps creating tiny black lines proving more definition. Rusted Boltgun, Prot and JaM_TW 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Yeah, once again, I did the same as you. I hated that armourshade gloss on mine. I surprisingly found that guilliman flesh and fyreslayer flesh worked much better for the bronzing shading and darkening my silver base coat.I also mixed the armourshade for the darkest bits. But looking good so far! Keeping the necron section alive haha Edited September 28, 2022 by Captain Coolpants Bilirubin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping the necron section alive haha I would have been disappointed to leave them after the armourshade however the three paints mentioned above for hi lighting really made them pop. My camera does not do them justice, they really look good especially under a light Captain Coolpants 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
