Okay, I mentioned that I was working on a Necron project for that new codex, and Vik and Shrike asked me to post pics, well here we are.

First, my take on the Deceiver; The shadows lend an air of menace to him.
[/img]

[/img]

What can be said about this guy? the Codex pretty much has his whole story set out.


Now for my Warriors, I did use different heads to show possibly different approaches for this squad to have been repaired or just experiments
ed on. You can also see a Lord posing nearby! He likes to stay near and keep them moving.
[/img]


And now for some different Lords, Yes, i know they are minis from another range with a head swap for the most part, but they fit the theme of Necro-horror, and it is a big part of the Humor as they are under the Deceiver. My Killing Joke!
[/img]

and the meanest of the Lords

Very interesting stuff there. The Cryx casters are great in Necron armies. Ive even thought about doing 1 or 2 myself.

Post by: Viktor von Domm


if the crxs is the secon one on the last pic to the let, then these warmachines i have to say were ment to be fielded as stand in models for necrons from the beginning...

though i am not very into necrons at all i have to say they do look special...green with brass joints? something you dont see every day for sure.
the deceiver looks very good, specially in the half shadows... but the face with blue warpaint isn´t to my taste... a face sans makeup would be way better...only my fiver here...

and the sacarb headswap looks rather nice... a trule good idea and would have been even nice would you have used it on the entire squad of warriors...

cheers, vik

That Deceiver makes me think of Thor's tin Loki, the Norse (?) god of mischief. very topical given what movie is being released soon.

I'm the first to admit that I know nothing about Necrons but really do like these. I can almost see some sort of imperial force investigating a factory and these guys pop out of the vats of gunk and the nooks and crannies.

Great stuff.

Mad4minis: I used the original Asphyxious, the smaller one,
Epic level Asphyxious, both got Necron swap outs on their heads. The one with the big chopper looking warscythe is Venethjrax, not much to do for his face, but he got the treat-ment the others did.

Vik: Cryx are the grave robbing Necrons of that game system.
I wanted a different look as most make their Necrons chrome or steel looking. I wanted that more "antique" feel, like classic cars or other machines. Oh, his "warpaint" is inspired from watching the Movie Spawn, The "clown"

Ah, yes, that is because two of the heads are on the Asphyx models, and others are trophies for my Space Marines painted in the colors of the armies I beat!


Taffiarti: Deceiver is very much like Loki. Oh, funny that you mention that as the comic book Joker is their color inspiration!

Basically, I wanted a metallic feel for the color, and mixed shining gold 2/1 with Dark Angel Green. The "fabric" is Liche purple with warlock purple drybrushed on.

now that you´ve mentioned it, i see where you had that idea...
well this fella was rather ugly then^^ your deceiver is much handsomer^^

if the joker is their sinpiration, will we see some purple on these guys?

I like the lords a lot. I like the warrior head swap too, but it looks very weird with only some of them having those heads. I think you could have carried the theme through and had a very alien looking Necron force.

for all that are complaining abiut a green and purple scheme:




thses chars have a history of about together of sixty years with little development to their overall look...so this is classic in numbers!

you gotta love the glowing runes on your...whatever^^...heck i love them^^
also nice gold and presumably greenish metal? the warmachine range is a very inrtriguing line...


As promised, Shasolenzabi Necrons!-units getting work done @ 2011/02/28 10:23:37

See? yes exactly, and that is that lords' wars-cythe, a potent close combatant weapon in the hands of a lord. No knowing what the new 'dex will allow.

I made that to have that metallic gold-green just for that look, there are insects with the color even, imagine a carpet of scarabs like that as well tying up those before my army of killer robots with death-rays!^^

I have always been of the belief that if you seek something unique, look at other models for the look you are after!

And this angle allows the feel of madness from all those millenia left to their dark dreams as Lords are the most intact in memories, and the ability to think as they willing sold their souls into servitude to the C' Tan! Whether they have regrets is unknown. My union of diabolic, plotting and patient evil!

thats is really cool looking... very classy and original, the "skin"tone of the warriors looks fresh! haven´t seen them done that way before...
what color will you aply to the weapons? and will you use the standard rods for the weapons or have you got something up your sleeve for a breaking up of the scheme?
maybe you could use these cocktailsticks that comes in clear plastic in various colors...
and is that the special tank package of yours or a drawing? beneath them warriors?

Yep, that is the Akuyaku box under the warriors Vik.^^
That is my Gold+Green mix for that shade of color for the warriors to match the rest of the army. some slight variations may occur, helps the idea of age and repairs being made and all.
For now, all I have are the standard green rods, but if i could afford it, there is a place nearby that has differe4nt colored rods, to match the theme, maybe purple rods?

Thanks Neil, I want a different yet recognizable army when I make one..

Epic Asphyxious has that regal feel to him. Venathrax was simply a paint scheme for the army and he was done, It was hard to figure a good head or face swap, and his mouth open screaming helps allow the feel that Lords have the ability to interact with others when disguised as living beings. But even shrunk down, he would be SM bulky.

I have the older version of the model, no flowing snakes, necron lord like spear (that will have a glow rod of course) and palm down left hand. It fits perfectly with the concept that the lords were the elite of the elite.

For some reason i think they would look even cooler if the bases were painted in exactly the same way as the Necrons, weird idea huh? Having a closer look the necrons almost look toxic, as if the metal they are made from is corroding and seeping toxic sludge. (thats meant to be a compliment lol)

Two of them I was able to put actual Necron heads on, the Savage one however only had a face to attach no head. His mask is very Unique in my army.

7 Lords,
1 shard of the deceiver
22 warriors
5 Immortals
5 Lychguard
3 Scarab swarms
1 command/Gun barge
1 Ghost/Doomsday Ark

More will be gotten in time. The Tomb is in need of Nec-cafe!

Oh, I have tourney legal stuff, but yeah, a 40mm base would be more impressive. I changed the head of the weapon for a plastic warscythe one, now he looks more fitting to the army! I may change the weapon on the epic version with Necron head, Give him a scythe as well as they are now brutal even though they no lopnger have the cheesy denial of all saves of any kind, S7 Power-weapon is still a killer!

which is in fact very cool looking and i think one of my favorite ways of painting necrons...
the purple on the immortals and the lycheguards is looking like a cool addition... but if possible i would add here some highlights later on... then this would be truly perfect!

by the way... nice lightning effect on their blades!!!

Thanks vik, I mixed some burnished gold with Dark Angels green, Some lighter purple will be added for the effects as well.

just used dry brushing techniques on my guys!

Now for the Lords!(with the shard of the Deceiver)

The Shard of the Deceiver

wow... you certainly were very productive...

as for some of your questions/musings...well...
i would keep all the non GW weapons on the cryx (?) models...i think this sets your force apart from the standard necrons now roaming the tables...i really wouldn´t substitute scythes or blades...wysiwyg will still be working...even a five year old would understand what this counts as...

by the way... on some orbs you did a very cool effect... what do these orbs resemble? never read necron fluff...

the deciever is a mixture of cool effects and some that i think need a redo... the cloth he is floating in and around is looking wonderful! i like the darker blueish folds and the purple here really has a centre stage moment! what i am not sold on is the blue facemask...your scheme for me doesn´t support this color...if i was you i would do it too in purple...

about the orbs again... have you considered giving the orbs a bit of texture with mabye some uneven coats of PVA or some greystuff sculpted attempts at creating flames? i think with your methode of making lighting effects this really could create a sparkle^^

cheers, vik

The original orbs were GS painted before they finished curing, so the paint cracked as they dried.

I am going to mix scorpion green with skull white to get some really wild lightning in the orbs and the other spheres amongst the group.

I am thinking instead of the Klown from Spawn, maybe the Joker? or just the pattern in purple.

The speed in wich you finish these models ist astonishing.
The quality is also astonishing(ly): low.

If only you were to take but a little tiny bit more time to paint your stuff, your quality could be waaaaaay higher.

wow... now this is an amount of work you have done!!! what color is the darker metal you use all over the necrons? looks like bronze but way darker as i can recall? looks cool by the way...only thing i would think about is to break up the greenmetal so that the minis inside the vehicles are looking not screwed on...you know... as of now they almost seems to be part of the model as oposed to be sitting inside...something paintwise to make happen that the parts are looking seperate more...
otherwsie i think you did a very good work on the vehicles...how did you get the coates of paint so heavenly even and thin? looks very professional... for a sec i thought you had used an airbrush...your tanks if i am honest dont hove that smooth finish...you must have changed something...hmmm...

The works are still in the unfinished stage. Those that know me, also know my work goes in stages, for me this is merely initial stage of the work, more touch ups will follow as I go along, the darker color is called "Tin Bitz" by GW, and also is the color for their seats in the vehicles, the Necrons and the main plates of the vehicles will stay the gold/green color. For now, you see the basic colors for the vehicles. Not bad for someone with arthritis thus far.

My IG tanks get the rougher look because of the flat colors and applied as if soldiers were indeed re-painting the machines, hence that rougher look. The metalics, applied in layers get's a more even feel to it.

Rest assured, each will get more goings over to fix the bad spots, and other messes on the parts and vehicles, I even redid the Lords, faces around the eyes with the green/gold to avoid the over brushes of the eye colors.

Yeah, I am happy that the vehicles look that smooth, I hope they remain that way when I go over the fixes agin so that the light green "glow" is coming from within those panels.

Tin bitz are the base color for the weapons and parts of the vehicles, I also am applying gold to certain areas as well as you may have seen, the gold will need some more applications as shows in the pics, but as I said, I am simply at what i call stage 2 of my painting for them. But in reality, a fairly simple scheme, nothing to elaborate, just table top play level of goodness for the Necrons. Still good enough for hunting the accursed Eldar

Yeah, I had to make parts of the vehicles look more like the bare essentials. the new weapon(Tachyon Arrow) is made from parts I was not using from the Triarch Praetorians, spinal parts and their pistols!

Yeah, still looking to make some purple on Oz, he ius too roach like in his build, instead of a cloak, he has more metal parts like a shell on his back, I will likely find more ways to gold and purple him, but he is a tough lil bugger for such. I am thinking that his loin tabbard may get the purple to it, and have the glow like the shields of the lychguard.

Tried the green wash, it over darkened the metal and took away that effect it gives.

I like your paint scheme. It's different. I wish pictures did models as much justice. Mine look boltgun in pictures but they are a blue metalic instead of just metal. I wonder how your power weapons looks IRL.

Think of the cables as part of Necron power-tech, they are directly tapped to the mini-reactors in the 'cron themselves.

Ah yes, dudews that DS next to one of your sqauds and then hits them at 2+ to wound? oh yes, very nice indeed.

I am eternal didn;t you know?

Monolith is the Biggy!

A for the Skyrim,,,,,,,OMG! THE AWESOME! so many things you can do, and you do not have to be a slaughter pig to level up, you can do works like normal folks back in those did, crafting food(better health returned if you have recipied food as opposed to raw food. Alchemy will help you level, use any skills like blacksmith or lockpick or your armor and weapon skills to level them for perks, but the upping any skill will let you level up to get more health/magicka/stamina(very important for movement and such. Details of the scenery is also lush, plenty of things to deal with, some towns can have nice things for you, or bad things to make "life" more interesting! It was an amazing bit of gift for me to get it. (An early X-mas gift,,,,as well as a 24" flatscreen to play on, no more old fashioned 480 TV, a 1080 makes things so much more detailed!

I really recommend not assembling the monolith till you get it painted. I had a bitch of a time painting some of it... It was not a fun model to assemble or paint...

Too late for that advice Runny. all assembled and paint has started.

Bought another Ark and making a 10 model jump squad of Praetorian triarchs.

That Ark will be set as a transport ark only.

hmmm... sounds interresting... the models then be usable as themselves? for this i´d think about a shifted position for the ark... like it is making a sharp turn?

How to make such a diorama? Make a Necropolis with arks like busses, and the lords all driving their nice rides.

I have some "tank" brushes to do that no worries Vik! i just have to make sure it can fit in the paint pot throat to get more paint to apply so maybe a 3/4" tank brush.

Post by: shasolenzabi


The lines between the plates will have scorpion green to make it seem aglow from within, and the "engines" or thrusters and such will be the Tin bitz to show the effect like I did on the arks. Oh and of course there will be parts painted in that wonderfully dark purple to have that theme added in!

Just a blend of GW's Burnished gold and dark angel green. More the gold than the green

Oh that took up most of the last batch of the color, had to get more pots of it to mix at a good consistency! It is to be worked on some more!

Is hectic! but worry not, I will be allotting more time to paint and finishing projects now that things are steady, and also likely to see my7 hours drop back down after the Christmas rushes!

That is the way i am going with the scheme, need to retouch though, I just used scorpion green in panel lines to mimic energy glowing from within

now the glow in the dark paint sounds cool...i do see the need of touchups...nut that is the thing how it only works when doing the deatilworks after the main colors... i know this from aching works too... touchup after touchup... may the brushes be with you indeed^^

the big gap in the front... what have you planned for that? i have seen some portal effects... could go well with the glow in the dark paint... and maybe some sculpted swirling surface to suggest a warp or portal thingy there... with that glowy color you use for force effect that could look mighty sweet...

it is the shapoo bottle my kids use...


the colors are next to identically to your necron scheme... after realizing that it is now very funny to use it to wash my kids... i have to think in terms of crushed and mashed ´crons bottled up to serve one last time as necroon´s^^

As can be seen, the touch ups need re-touching, not finished as yet, but this is how it is with the rods in and as shaping up.

well it is shaping up real good...some purple spots need cleaning up as you said!
those fifteen thingies on the one side i just realized i think would look better done in tinbitz?!

and for my thoughts the big green/golden surfaces might need some breaking up... tho i dunno how...
