Necrons project updated 10 April - Illuminor Szeras

More great stuff. I have the old spyder as well. The new one is head and shoulders better.

Thanks! Yes, but there is something about the sheer weight of that old spider - if thrown, it would be dangerous!

Two Doom Scythes, the big flyer for the Necrons. Kind of fun to paint; broke out the airbrush for the large flat surfaces to get an even bronze coat.

Only three to paint, so I got these done today, too.


Tomb Blades, Necron skimmers.

I like the metallic green and brass combo  - it looks very good.

Thank you! GW contrast over base metalics - good results, quickly!

I wouldn't have thought the colour scheme would work if I saw it spelled out, but the purple / green / copper tones work really well on these guys, and they look very different to any necrons I've seen before. Great work, it's nice seeing your progress.

Probably one of the coolest models in the Necron range, the heavy support weapon wielding Triarch Stalker. The two front legs are poseable. The model does not have a base, and apparently the tournament guide says no base.

Hey, thanks! It was a bold choice, I agree - I usually will paint ten basic troops to get a scheme down, and I liked this one - and more importantly, the client does! To see the army all together will be cool. I think he’s using it at a tourney in July?

Love the stalker.

Love the stalker.

Many thanks!

Here’s the final model of the second batch.

One of the creepiest Necron models, this bio-scientist is like a necromancer who sucks the living energy from his victims for his experiments.
model 224 for the year, end of batch 2.
