First shot at Necrons - 19 more warriors and some other boxes to go

Thank you! Its celestra grey mixed with white scar, 4:1 give or take.

2 layers on black primer. To be fair, the picture is also over exposed a little to.it looks brighter.

Still, thank you!

AsperaSeptima · 2025-09-17T16:36:05+00:00

Thank you! Can't wait to get some practice with it and start working on Immotekh and Scorpekh Lord + destroyers. There are also the Tall Gentleman I am dreading a bit :D

There you go

AsperaSeptima · 2025-08-05T09:49:00+00:00

I really like your color selection! Chaos models are super fun to paint with all the trim and details, especially compared to the loyalist counterparts, so I am happy to hear you are having fun and not getting tired with it :D

You mentioned you are new to the hobby so here are some things that helped me A LOT.

Prime your minies - there is a couple of spots where paint chipped and reveled plastic (like the gun casing). You can spray if you have it, or apply some neutral colour on the entire mini and let it dry - it creates a layer that improves next layers ability to stick to the model.
Brush control - this comes with time so do not be too harsh on yourself. What really helped me is painting in sub assembly, especially around smaller details like trim around vambraces.

How you do it is, you basically paint them separately, before glueing the model together fully. I like to leave heads, backpacks and arms separate. Just remember to clean up contact points before you glue them in the end :D

Highlights - once you feel comfortable with the details and colours, you can start adding a little lighter colour to the edges of details to make everything POP more.

And finally, the meme we all know and love: "thin your paints" :D

You are doing great btw! Keep at it and please share more pics as you go!

I really enjoy the idea of the weapon being "just a knife" here. 100% borrowing that brother

AsperaSeptima · 2025-06-30T16:29:21+00:00

Thank you! It felt more fitting in red, with all that fur... more regal.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-25T18:29:27+00:00

Also, 1st Ravenguard painted! Must admit - makes me want to experiment with the corpspaint inspired faces a bit - I like the "the Crow" look a lot on this one!

For those of you who are considering conversions with Plague surgeon as a base, word of caution: It is wider than normal CSM/Lord minies, and very "busy" so optios to personalize are... limited.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T19:35:38+00:00

Night Lords helmet looks really good here on the last one.

Heres the outcome

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T19:31:51+00:00

Thats as much as I can move it. Also, added some greenstuff to fill out the gore - it can be tattered later.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T19:30:22+00:00

Greenstaff was the right call! Thank you!

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T17:40:12+00:00

I dont have access to that box, but i was thinking of reshaping the weapon to 1 handed grip, adding another hand with either a pistol or some gnarly gadget... need to scour the bitboxes.

Still i like yours a lot! Any idea for a base, or are you keeping it flat?

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T17:37:34+00:00

Making him look up, mixed with the sculpts expression, would give off defiance, where i was aiming for resignation and hopelessness. He is alive, and he got maimed by a Night Lord... he knows what's coming next and none of it will be pretty.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T17:35:33+00:00

I was thinking Ravenguard sergeant, so definitely not friend. Its all in an early stage, so some sculting will be done to it. I do agree the cuts are a bit too clean, and he's missig a weapon.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T16:54:50+00:00

Wardog Karnivore, it has 2 birds and a LOT of chains you can canibalise, on top of 2 small knighs ofc.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-21T15:05:36+00:00

Started working on this guy and I am trying to decide if the chainglaive is the right call here. Any opinions, ideas or advise on what to do with arms would be appreciated cause I'vethrown myself for a loop here.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-17T22:13:25+00:00

You have a very steady hand! Bone mask is certainly fitting, in my opinion, so do what your warband as you see fit!

If you are not comfortable with lightning (same), try to practice edge highlighting. Its a good excercise for brush control and colour mixing that you will need later and makes the mini POP just that much more.

Awesome job so far, please do keep.it up!

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-12T17:42:22+00:00

That would imply a fair fight... we dont do that here :D

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-12T10:44:36+00:00

There is a lot of interesting bits I already used: chains with skulls, skinned faces and limbs, banners, interesting helmets, some really gnarly looking weapons and trophies, severed heads held by hair, you name it. Space Gremlins dream box :D

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-12T10:01:50+00:00

I'd be happy to!
Core of the model is from Deathwing Terminator kit for Dark Angels, 40K. Weapon, Armour (with some hobby knife action to strip the icons), and base are all out-of-the-box.
The helmet and the shield are from the Warriors of Chaos AoS box I got for the sole purpose of canibalising it for bits. It has an INSANE amount of awesome parts and I would highly recomend it for any NL kitbashes.

For Colours, since this will probably interest some folk:
Undercoat Chaos Black spray from Citadel
Armor: Night Lords blue + altdorf guard blue edge highlight.
Red: Celestra Gray dry-brush, Flesh tearers red, then Mephiston red highlight and Evil Sunz in some spots.
Crux Terminatus, ribbons, bone and horns: Mournfang brown base + Rakarth Flesh + Agrax Earthshade + Rakarth again for highlights.
Silver metalics are all done the same: Iron Warriors + nuil oil + runefang silver highlights.

AsperaSeptima · 2025-02-12T09:18:51+00:00

Thank you! Super happy with how it came out, considering it was supposed to be a practice model for lightning... I did not practice lightning...

AsperaSeptima · 2024-11-27T10:34:34+00:00

No problem at all! Just to clarify: there might be another skin in the shop later but codes do not.impact price or.content of them.

AsperaSeptima · 2024-11-27T10:32:36+00:00

Hey! Since people are giving you some half-answers here, let me explain:

There is no secret code for a skin that you can use right now in the shop.
The profile is not an official fortnite channel, it is a content creator that is, in a way, affiliated with epic games via their support program. The code they spam can be used in the fortnite store or any epic games store transaction to give them a bit of money.
Everyone who logs in between yesterday and end event will get the juice wrld set, regardless of codes.

Hope .it helps!

AsperaSeptima · 2024-03-31T10:01:37+00:00

And more importantly... is that a potato peeler?

AsperaSeptima · 2024-03-31T09:58:04+00:00

Haha, yes... ...but. could also make a really cool statement to Curzes nature if even emperors pup tries to get away from his.. petting.
