Chippin'

5/10 Necron warriors from the first squad are now complete. I expect to complete the rest of the squad and one remaining scarab swarm before next week's Thursday. Monolith should be arriving then, and will be hopefully/finally my next project, possibly alongside with a foot slogging Necron Lord.

I did some chipping on the warriors, but I didn't bother adding any metallic scratches - maybe I still will. Now I'll settle for random ceramic armor chipping. While the looks of the chipping are unnatural, I feel they add nice contrast to the models.

Here's the progress of Damaged crisis suit. It's not yet even nearly finished, and will be set aside for a good while now, since I already can clearly see how the damage will look like - so that I can get back to my Necrons. Probably my Necron army will have same type of battle damage applied to them, but later. First I have to finish my seriously delayed warrior squad.

I'm especially happy with the "holes", but the metal ain't half bad either. However, blacklining the metal scratches gives a bit "comical" finish,but then again, the colors are so light, that the scratches wouldn't stand out otherwise. I have to think how to make them look better..

Unfinished parts;
- Both hands
- Jetpack highlight refixing
- Both weapons, and the multi-tracker
- Base (duh?)

WIP Damage

I was testing some battle damage on a Tau crisis suit yesterday. The reason why I'm posting this to a Necron blog is that I might try to add similar looking battle damage to all my Necrons. Maybe.

The paint job this far was quick one evening's job (basecoated, plus right leg armor done partly), so I actually expect to finish him today. Tau is fun and fast to paint, once you get into the rythym, but the army overall doesn't interest me a whole lot. Anyway, here's the WIP;

Better pics?

Some work in progress things, oldies but goldies, and a damaged Töpö.

Sloooooow..

Here be my update. I was painting my Deamonhunter army mostly last week so here's not much stuff. Excuses, excuses.. well nevertheless, I'm not in a hurry with my warrior and scarab squads since my next Necron unit to be painted will arrive at the end of the month. Perhaps I buy something small in between, like a Necron Lord etc, but let's see.

Sorry for the bad photos again. I really need to obtain better camera and spend some time placing the light sources.

Sad News

Good news; I bought a Monolith. Bad news; the bloody pack was having 2 front walls and 2 rear walls instead of side, front and rear. So in other words, I can't assemble my Monolith yet. I will return it to the shop hopefully today, and will ask for a refund - the owner is a nice guy so shouldn't be a problem.. hopefully.

Anyways, this means that I have to paint Necron Warrior squad 1 first, so I need even more time than with the Mono. Expect update at the end of next week. Ordering a new, and hopefully complete, Monolith will take some time. Furthermore, I will renew my Grey Knight color scheme when GKPAs are concerned. Blending Fortress Grey just takes too much time, and I want to try GW's boring "shiny" GK theme, with a twist. So albeit this is a Necron blog, I might be posting some pics of my GKPAs later as well if the Warrior squad is not finished in time.

Laters.
