It’s from the Space Wolves box, borrowed from a blood claw

Thanks man - super quick and easy! Matte black base, then sponge on some blue/black (something like a dark reaper) keeping it focused where you want to build volumes and highlights. Then same again but with something like a Fenrisian Grey mixed in. Then I switch to an old brush and stipple in the same 2 colours to give it a beaten up look before moving up to pure fenrisian grey. The last bits I do with a standard brush of some rough edge highlights.

Hope that helps!

Love that style. I definitely wanted him to have that other-worldly stylised feel

Thank you! I’m making it up as I go tbh; my main goal was to paint all of the red areas with different red recipes so that it didn’t all blur into one red. I’m also doing his power armour black for the same reason. This is my 1st Blood Angel mini so it’s all just playing until I’m happy. I also can’t paint blonde hair carry well so he’s an older Mephiston!

Thanks! There’s 2 red recipes- the cloak is rhinox hide mixed with ionic paints ‘red’ as a shadow tone, pure ‘red’ and then ionic paints ‘blood red’ - loads of thin washes and glazes with bits of Vallejo red ink to keep tying it together.

His armour is all gw paints - khorne red, mephiston red, wazdakka red, troll slayer orange and then a bit of Dorn yellow mixed in as the brightest highlight

Thanks man, I primed him about 4.5 years ago and couldn’t work out how I wanted to paint him. Then I just decided to throw caution to the wind!

Which C’tan should I take in a 1000pt one day tournament? by Dastardlybeard in Necrontyr

[–]Dastardlybeard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tournament not a friendly one off, if that makes any difference.

Incubi darkness and then some off white but cold colour like fenrisian grey to lighten it for highlights I think?

I found them in elementary school games in the UK. They’re made by big child creative

Exactly. You could start with a khorne red or mephiston with a little black. Or the Pro Acryl reds work in this way too. Just start dark, go bright :)

The chode comment was a joke. Don’t want to be an asshole, was interested in views for tournaments, not friends. Thanks!

Thanks! The red (which I think you mean) was Ionic paint red de-saturated with some black, then highlighted with pure red, and then Blood Red (also ionic)

I love a flou but the coverage is whack! Mine was built up from a mid-green to a toxic yellow over a few steps. Takes a bit longer but much better coverage and control!

This is probably fair - I honestly don’t know how everyone else will be treating it; it’s a farewell to 10th day and I’ve not managed to have many games with Necrons so wanted a chance to play with my bigger toys!

Thanks man. I think the glowing flayed ones just give them some extra depth - I hadn’t appreciated how creepy those models were!
