I don't have any images of Necrons, but doing them copper / bronze might be a nice change.

I found this tutorial but I haven't had a chance to try it yet :-

'fir necrons' - now that sounds interesting!
personally, i've recently picked up some chrome effect spray from B&Q & will purchase -
1 box of necrons
enough resin skull-type bases at Salute next Saturday

then cobble the whole lot together & hope the new ads for the T4 movie will generate some interest on Ebay!
I will post with the results.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

I've painted a couple now. They are snake bite leather and heavily drybrushed with bbleach bone. Their faces are Commando Kakhi.
I just need to figure out how to do the monolith now. Anyone know how to paint a stone texture?

Actually you can buy some... I THINK its Krylon, anywho some spreay paint comes in a stone like texture. Try it on some crap sprue first so it dont ruin your monolith

DONT! - I used Fleckstone paint to make a Grind board, it goes on -really- heavy with thick splatery flecks, it'll obliterate any detail and gum up the sharp corners...

Well, Vallejo has a metallic base that you can mix with other colors. Mixed it, and a little bit of midnight blue to come up with a nice metallic blue for my necrons. Did the same thing to a red for their shoulder pads. The colors turned out quite nice.

Alas the pics I have left from my Necron army are of the Monolith. The scheme was white ceramic with green high-density plastics, with copper trim. The higher 'ranked the model the more copper. Warriors and Scarabs= None, immortals and Destroyers and wraiths got more, Lords got the most. here's the pics of the 'Lith:

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
