JJD Posted Tuesday at 06:50 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:50 PM My girls are interested at painting some miniatures with me and I have the Indomitus Necrons gathering dust. What better than a nice dry brush scheme for a 12 and 9 year old to start on. A basic leadbeltcher, nulin oil start then a dry brush of iron breaker and the runfang. All was going well and the 9 year old was getting into it. Then she decided she wanted the glow to be pink. Time for a few trial runs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387132-little-jjds-necrons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted Tuesday at 06:59 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:59 PM (edited) I’m want to keep this as simple as possible. The black gun is slap chop using grim black speed paint. The pink is 50/50 layers of princess pink speed paint over smaller layers of white I don’t know if the pink is a bit to pale to work as a glow I’m open to suggestions Edited Tuesday at 07:07 PM by JJD Heraclite and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387132-little-jjds-necrons/#findComment-6142950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted Tuesday at 08:16 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:16 PM Also in the 5 years since I last painted my eye sight has gone. I needed a magnifying glass to see the eyes and coils I didn’t used to Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387132-little-jjds-necrons/#findComment-6142960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago The Necron came out really well. I think I might be inclined to make the gun a bit darker...? Maybe that's just me being used to the Studio's black guns, though.

Maybe that's just me being used to the Studio's black guns, though. Thanks. I think its the lighting. With the exception of the barrel the gun is very black. You can barely see the highlights from the dry brush. That said it could be my eye sight as it does look more gray enlarged on the laptop screen I was going to go with a more magenta dark pink but the 9 year old wanted to do princess pink and shes very happy with it, so i think we are going with it. It was intended to be her project I just got into how simple it was to pint after my edge highlighted blended Dark angels.
