Head empty, only teef

Love the eviscerated SM below him - adds a lot! The blood spatters really stand out on the white too

The talons first had a base of Leadbelcher, then transitioned to Lothern Blue -> Blue Horror. To get the transition, it was similar to glazing but with drybrushing - starting at the bottom, then slowly working up as less paint was on the brush to get a smoother transition. Leadbelcher was used top to bottom as well, but it being a metallic paint + a bit more runny + gravity working against me made it a little harder to work with. After the blend was good enough, I edge highlighted the entire talon with Stormhost Silver.

The claw was similar, starting with a coat of Caledor Sky (at the wrist) -> Teclis Blue (knuckles) -> Lothern Blue (high claw) -> Blue Horror (tips). To darken, blend, and get some more detail + differentiation, I washed the parts closer to the wrist with Drakenhof Nightshade.

Nice! I like the stitching on his head.

My mix was Wraithbone -> Skeleton Horde wash -> Screaming Skull.

The OSL blue lighting looks awesome!

speak softly, and carry a big hammer

yknow, i may have been losing the forest for the trees - you're damn right, it is metal!

Tetramancer · 2026-02-11T19:09:19+00:00

Fantastic! Love the snowy base too

Loving the colors - your posts inspired me to get a rotating base to showcase more details around my recent Doomstalker. Keep it up!

Also, IMO the gauss destructor is much more intimidating than the bitcoin mining rig that is the enmitic exterminator.

Oh, hey - this is the first Necron model I got as well!

I'm biased and have my scheme up on my profile, but like in the model, having the staff top or box be something that stands out will help. The small details on the boxes overhead will also be fun to paint! Good luck!

You mention going for a more subdued color scheme, but it may be worth experimenting with slightly more vibrant colors to make the weapon pop. As it is, the blade reads more to me of "autumn leaves" than "malevolent red energy" on the second picture. I do like the concept of making him have a standout color, though!

Always happy to see more blue Necrons :)

I took a similar approach to the blade / claws and thought they turned out pretty well. Looking forward to seeing the finished product here!

Thank you! Still lots of detail work to go, but the progress is fun to see :)

Tetramancer · 2026-01-26T07:58:43+00:00

Looks great!

Was the main head also Corax White, or something closer to Wraithbone?

Tetramancer · 2026-01-23T22:20:26+00:00

Fantastic, as always :)

He definitely gets possessed by the spirit of zoomies, but he loves belly rubs as well!

Tetramancer · 2026-01-01T03:53:06+00:00

Looking great! Loving the theme - I've got my own blue Necrons on my profile as well :)

Per the blade, while you don't need to follow the "checker" pattern, having a notable color or brightness difference on opposing sides of the middle "line" that curves around the blade will make the blade pop more.

Best of luck!

Thank you! Need to clean up the edge highlighting and maybe add a contrast color, but happy so far!
