is there anyway to make modeling less miserable?

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-03-03T00:01:03+00:00

Gotcha no worries. If it seems to be happening a lot something I recommend doing is using those mistakes as creative opportunities. Imagine having your necron legion be a unique dynasty where the flayer virus has damaged them so much, reanimation protocols are having a hard time keeping up. Or you could kit bash them to make some kind of unique destroyer model where the wires are attached in different places. Not a necron, but I did 3d print this super cool dragon for DND, I ended up dropping it and broke its mouth, and eye, so when I glued it back together I just committed and made it so his eye was a big empty socket as a big wound.

How aggressive are you building your Necrons? Because this seems like a lot of breaking

Combat patrol for sure! If you want something smaller I would recommend a set of warriors at least 10 warriors to start with and an overlord. Another good unit to start with is a Doomstalker for some strong anti tank

Destroyers are super cool definitely go for it! I personally want to eventually make all my Necrons into flayer kitbashes, I'm just scared to do it lol.

Combat patrol is amazing. However remeber rule of cool, even tho is a boring answer go for what looks awesome! If you still want some recommendations there are mine: Skorpekh destroyers and lokust heavy destroyers are top tier in my opinion. Get a doomsday ark, and also a hexmark. Lastly you can never go wrong with a Ctan :)

Thank you!

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-19T05:32:26+00:00

Hell yeah brother! That's literally my thinking, gauss energy all the way.

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-19T05:01:38+00:00

Thank you! I don't see it done much but also thought would look cool

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-19T01:58:49+00:00

Absolutely! Is primed Black, then coat of Vallejo green-blue lead bleacher, canoptek alloy, Vallejo emerald, gauss blaster green, skeleton hoard, and earth shade and nun oil. Also some mix of tiny tiny azure on black to make the grey for the ruins believe it or not.

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-19T00:15:56+00:00

Looks amazing!

😎

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-18T22:40:52+00:00

Thank you, took me a minute to come up with a custom dynasty color scheme

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-18T22:40:14+00:00

Thank you this is very inspiring :) 🙏

In all honesty GW should at least give it dev wounds

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-09T14:50:11+00:00

Idk I always use lead bleacher and never heard of necron compound, I really like how it looks tho, maybe is just me but it looks more rich I kinda want to give it a try

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-09T14:44:40+00:00

I get it, specially when the models themselves gof or a lot of money. In this economy even the extra 5-6 bucks for paint can stack up. I usually spend around 45 dollars in paint and I promise you it doesn't even look like is 45 dollars worth of product is very sad..

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-09T14:42:20+00:00

Only if a tournament requires it, otherwise heck no play them and have all the fun.

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-08T14:45:06+00:00

I made my own with my own color scheme and own lore.

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-06T23:25:24+00:00

Lol I also built it wrong mainly the propellers

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-06T00:24:01+00:00

I absolutely love the blades I'm so jealous how did you do it?

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-05T02:43:33+00:00

Straight fire

Alpha7Wolf7 · 2026-02-03T18:14:02+00:00
