Hello Dakka, I've recently started painting my new Necrons and I have no idea where to start with this fancy warscythe of mine, I want it to look similar to this guy here:

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Well that's no good... Here's a new one that looks basically the same

Just start with a dark shade of green and progress into lighter colors. Personally, I do a base coat of Calliban Green, a central highlight of Warpstone Glow, some further highlighting/glazing of Moot Green, and finally a glaze of Waywatcher Green over the whole thing.
I am a fairly new 40k player and painter, and don't by any means consider myself to be a good painter, but I've found that my "technique" works for me to achieve a rough tabletop standard.
Here are a couple of bad iPhone pictures with a paper backdrop. Sorry I haven't based them yet!
