More excuses

Yes. Here they come;

My girlfriend is visiting me, so I don't have that much time to paint now. This week, however, it will be back in business again, but I feel quite sad that she is leaving. Enough of that though, since this blog is about Necrons, who are robots.

I am a robot.

There is a metaphor for all of you to think while you wait a picture of painted monolith.

No lololith yet

Sorry. I will finish it soon. Shouldn't promise anything while I can't deliver. Mono is assembled, undercoated and some small details painted.. now I won't say how much time I need, because maybe then I can really finish it.

Back to work..

Necron Lord

Yippee!

Here's a photo of my latest addition. A complete squad of warriors and a Necron Lord. I'm very very happy how the cloack on the Lord turned out to look like, but unfortunately I can't provide more pictures to you currently since my camera ran out of batteries and I only managed to take 1 picture. I decided not to put the green rod in Lord's staff of light. It looks more violent now.

Speed-painting is fun.


Next addition will be a monolith, finally. It's under assembly now, and I expect it be completed by Friday as I will be going for a really simplistic approach. I also planned my preliminary 1750 pts army list;

1 Lord
-Orb
-Veil

1 Lord
-Destroyer
-Shroud

10 Warriors
10 Warriors

5 Destroyers
5 Destroyers
6 Scarabs
- Field

1 Heavy Destroyers
2 Heavy Destroyers
1 Monolith

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.

Moar Daemegs

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.
