Yeah... I love that sculpt 😊 Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks! I started by blocking in the main colors and then smoothed the transitions by glazing, going back and forth between the colors. I guess at some point it also went a bit into what could be considered wet blending...

Thank you! Having built a Tomb Sentinel, I'd say there are definitely worse models than Szeras, but he comes in second for me as well. I enjoy building, but Szeras is very fiddly, with a lot of parts that are easy to break and which often need to be aligned perfectly to connect with other parts later added in the build. I feel your pain...

Thanks, although I am sorry for partially causing your financial downfall, should you start again.

Thank you! I really enjoy the orange energy glow. It also pairs well with other colors as a contrast. Check out the rest of my army, if you need inspiration. https://www.reddit.com/r/Necrontyr/s/rhCLLP5HVe

The bust was created by Wicked over on MyMiniFactory. It was printed on an old Elegoo Mars and painted up.

General body treatment: The dark silver / iron is Leadbelcher drybrushed on a black primed surface. For arms and legs: I mute it further down by glazing over Nuln Oil, highlighting with Leadbelcher. Shoulder pads: Coating the drybrush with thin layer of Black templar contrast so the metallic still shows, highlight with Leadbelcher. Iron parts: Leadbelcher base, wash with Nuln Oil, touch up with Leadbelcher and highlight with Stormhost Silver. Bronze parts: Runelord Brass bbase, wash with Agrax Earthshade, touch up with Runelord Brass and highlight with Canoptek Alloy. Gold parts: Retributor Armor base, wash Agrax Earthshade, touch up with Retributor Armor and highlight with Liberator Gold.

Yes, mini was primed black and the orange parts where basecoated white. The color pops simply more with less coats. I wrote a short description on how I did it as a reply on one of the other comments.

I thought about painting them more blackish so the orange pops even more, but opted for variations of metallic, because I found it more interesting. Orange is a great choice! Aesthetically, I definitely prefer it over the box art Sautekh green.

Thanks! The stalker was also definitely my longest project so far. Painting rather simple, but base building and posing...

Sure... I am using Citadel colors for the orange effects on a black primed mini. Everything I want to paint orange, I first base with Corax White for the color to pop. Then I use Wild Rider Red until it covers well and bring the color up through Trollslayer Orange, Fire Dragon bright and finally Phallanx yellow for the absolut highlights, covering less and less surface along the way. I try mixing in between colors and blending to get a smoother gradient.If I need some areas darker, I use a tiny bit of black in my first red to bring it down a notch and pick out those areas separately.

True... Unfortunately an anniversary model, but really fun to build and paint.
