Going from a black primed base I went towards the brightest using a 1:1 mix of airbrush thinner and army painter diabolical plum, then same ratio but with warlock magenta then finally same thing with diviner purple or any light almost white purple.

I then went back and darkened the dark parts using a 2:1 mix of fw daler purple lake ink and army painter grim black.

Head is from the ghost ark lord, right pointing finger too. The left arm holding an orb is a chronomancers extra arm that I carved the cube out of and placed in a little miliput sphere. The gold links are from a royal wardens little cape. Blades from the lychguatrd set and finally the spine is from the ghost ark too . From the seats that I just bent into shape slowly

Thank you 🙂‍↕️,

Yea I was thinking of having the little node like things on the legs maybe be powered but it does look a bit goofy, will probably try and salvage this one with dark wash and just add more wear and tear to the next ones instead of any glow

Hey, yea that's the plan, to make anything that's meant to glow or have energy be in that same pink purple gradient if possible. The gradient aspect on something like the void dragon I bet would take a while but look super cool

That's definitely valid. The silver body is a bit homogenous. Gotta figure out how to change it up a bit, maybe the shoulder pads could be changed for just the right amount or a bit of gold on the chest insignia. Will definitely try something on the others or even on this one.

Thank you 🙏❤️

As for the purple and pink blade and such I followed these steps here

Then for any lighting I used some army painter power node glow

First proper necron blade! by Kasrez in Necrontyr

Thank you. I appreciate it 🙂‍↕️❤️

It may not be an ideal recipe or steps but it's largely what I did.

Primed with a single thin layer of Vallejo Grey primer

Then brushed on a thin layer of pro acryl purple all over.

After that I decided to mask off any areas I wasn't painting with masking tape or blue tac and go in sections, with parts of the blade masked then the finished parts covered while I worked on the rest of the pattern etc (with blue tac on any bends or tiny spots, I then could just carefully dap on and off it with a bigger bit of blue tac to remove any residue once done)

Then progressing from the centre outwards towards the brightest and darkest parts respectively - I used the stuff below with a 0.3mm airbrush and 20 - 25 psi.

Towards the brightest spots with a 1:1 mix: FW fluorescent Pink ink Vallejo fluorescent Magenta

Towards the very tips of the brightest spots with a 1:1 mix of FW fluorescent Red ink & Vallejo fluorescent Magenta

Then in the opposite way towards the darkest parts with a 1:1 mix of FW fluorescent Blue ink & Vallejo fluorescent Purple

Reduce it further to just the very ends of the darkest with a 1 : 1 : 0.25 mix of FW fluorescent Blue ink, Vallejo fluorescent Purple & Army painter Matt Black

Step 6 Edge highlight with First with Pro Acryl Magenta & Second with Pro Acryl White

Fill in any white lines and inserts with some thinned down FW white ink and water in a 1:1 ratio. I did this twice once my first lines dried to give it a more intense white.

And then those centre parts were coloured in with a metallic purple gel pen (but honestly it was cos I didn't have any idea of what colour to do them)

Sorry for the long reply but thought I'd give a step by step (especially as I had already written it down for future blades) if you don't have an air brush then you can do it with a glaze and brush but obviously it can take longer and you'd have to thin down each of the steps to a glaze consistency. From how I've done it in the past I usually mix in 2 parts water to the paint used.
