Color test for my Neohrekh Dynasty Necrons. Paint em two coats of gold, silver shoulders/chest icon, wash it with sepia. Paint the gun dark grey, silver details on it, blue wires, wash the entire model with Nuln. Simple, as evidenced these were start to finish in one night, but nicely effective. Probably add steps to brighten the gold on characters.
From left to right the rods were then painted silver, white, and yellow, then hit with a good coat of tesseract glow to test out that new paint I hadn’t used yet. Don’t know what I really expected from it on these large flat surfaces. I think the yellow on the right turned out the best. Looks kind of like a liquid/plasma type effect inside a clear cylinder. ‘Course I’m replacing all these guns with the new styled ones anyway which have much smaller glowy nodes.
First ten new Warriors built, and used their extra guns to convert over the first ten of my old Warriors to the new style guns to match. Got concerned when I first saw the new kit and how their left hands gripped a new side handle instead of how the old Warriors held their Flayers under it. I’ve got spare guns, not spare hands! The old Flayers were easy to chop up though and make an imitation side grip. Not Ideal, but sufficient.
I hate push fit Necrons. Marines are fine, they’re solid and study. Necron limbs are all spindly and constantly felt like they were wanting to break on me if I wasn’t extra careful.
Finished the second set of Necron Warriors plus the weapon updated ones to match. Gives me a twenty bot blob of each. Still got forty more of the old Necron Warriors, so I need twenty each of the new Flayers and Reapers.
Put together a few characters as well to relieve the tedium of the Warrior assembly line. After working on Primaris for so long it weirds me out to see the Warden on the same size 32mm base as the grunts. I’m used to all characters being on 40mm.
Also just for the heck of it my old gold dry brushed paint job next to the new gold paint washed job.
They’ve got some distinct differences. Old ones would be taller if I hadn’t already hunched mine way over back in the day. New ones are way less dynamic as well. My eventual plan is 5 new and 15 (5 of which I’m gonna use the extra new heads on) per unit of 20. Need to get several of each painted up in matching colors to really see how they mesh.
Bit of weekend work, finally converting the Overlord‘s wargear to give him a Resurrection Orb and a very nostalgic Staff of Light. The staff arm isn’t glued on yet, I’ve got a bit more work to do on it yet later. When I’ve got more spare new style Gauss Flayers I want to cut the barrel off of one to replace the lower portion of the staff, in further reference to the original design for the Staff of Light. Truly a Relic for the ages.
Nephrekh color test mkII. Ok, it’s pretty much the same colors, but I’ve got the new guns on them, plus a mix of the new Warrior models and rearmed old. As expected, the Tesseract Glow works much better on a surface with some detail to it rather than the old completely smooth rods. I like it. Also I’m satisfied the old and new Warriors blend well enough. You can tell them apart if you’re looking for it, but you have to be looking for it, doubt it’ll really be noticed on the tabletop.
Been steadily churning out batches of a half dozen Warriors all week, and I’ve finally got a full blob of twenty done. Won’t actually all be in the same unit, I’ll split them across two to even out the new sculpts and my more extreme reposes of the old. I also finalized the color scheme, giving up on trying to make the one wire neon, and just reverting to my old green and blue wires. For the new tubes and blades I ended up watering down the Tesseract Glow a bit, and doing two lighter coats over yellow. Gives is a more even consistency. Some of these are before I got that figured out though and are a little more mottled.
If you caught my earlier math, doing six at a time to arrive at twenty, that left me some free spots. I did the odd two from the next unit, and then as a reward for so diligently grinding out Warriors I painted up the first two characters, a Royal Warden and Plasmancer. This let me figure out my cloak colors, which ended up Stormhost Silver, Akhelian Green Contrast, and Nuln Oil. They’re also a bit nicer gold, getting three coats of gold before the Sepia wash instead of the Warriors’ two, and gold dry brush after.
Back to the Warrior mill to get the next brick of twenty done...
Yeah, they just don’t have too many details so they paint up pretty quick. Takes me a day of my painting time to do a group of six, where my Salamanders more around four days for the same number.
I just posted the first finished blob of 20 Warriors on Sunday, but I’ve already got my second one done thanks to the head start from a batch of these being one of the early color scheme tests. So yep, 20 Warriors with Gauss Reapers all painted up! The Royal Warden is the same one from before, but as he’s their designated babysitter I figured I’d include him in their shot.
Continuing to be crazy productive with painting since I can’t get out to actually play. Technomancer with his attendant Murder Buckets, plus a Plasmacyte just because. The pillar things on the Cryptek’s base aren’t really painted because they’re going to be replaced when I get the stuff to finish my basing, so they’re just kind of “ignore me” grey for now. Tonight, Scarabs! Should be super easy and give me extra time to read the week’s comics.
Skorpekh Destoryers done. Thought I was going to have my Reanimator finished as well today but didn’t quite make it. Will have that done tomorrow, and hopefully a pair of Lords as well to finish up everything I’ve got built.
Not a lot of fiddly details, a relatively easy scheme, and it’s not like I can go out and do much else right now, so yeah, getting tons done lately.
Finished up the two Lords and the Reanimator, and refinished the Skorpekh Destroyers after I saw the pictures I posted and decided they really needed their blades touched up. Also painted the nodes on their arms and legs after I did the Skorpekh Lord’s to match.
Everything built is painted! Woo! Time to build more. Bits trade came thru during the week so I’ve got a pile of new Warrior guns to rebuild an additional 40 old Warriors. Also gonna head swap a number of them with new Warrior heads, as well as four with Praetorian heads to be unit leaders. Finish up the Phaeron and build ten Lychguard for him I’ve got as well, and then it’s back to more painting next week.
Finished the third brick of twenty Necron Warriors. Let’s see, with this set I roughed them up a bit with the dremel, so their armor is more pitted and scared similar to the new sculpt. I also used the extra heads from the new Warriors to replace half the originals for that added variety. Lastly I made some “unit leaders” with spare Praetorian heads and Immortal spines. They will be used mostly to mark the guy carrying the special gun when they get upgraded in Crusade.
One more brick of twenty Warriors to go! Expecting to get some Scarabs in the mail today however and am planning to do those first for the short respite.
Finished my final group of twenty Necron Warriors. All eighty of them are now painted up and rearranged into units of optimal variety of old models, new models, old models with new heads, and one unit leader each. Was really starting to draw there at the end, so now I’m going to slack off for a few days before I get around to building my Lychguard and painting those up.
Way to crush along through this project, the group shots have been especially gratifying. Also cool to see Nephrekh painted as Nephrekh - I'm guilty of just going 'yea these are Nephrekh, yea the gold ones, totally' as I plonk down my dark iron + brown 'crons that teleport or something
To be fair they’re not 100% Nephrekh, as I paint the shoulders and chest icon silver. I’ve always painted my Necrons gold, really. When I got back into them and was reading the dynasties, found the one who’s main trait is being gold, and it’s like whelp, guess I’m playing those now, it’s fate.
Hm. Don’t believe I’ve done any WIP shots of any of my Necrons, they’re usually done in a day. I’ve been going slower with the Lychguard here. Trying not to burn myself out right away again, and those shields are extra fiddly, so just taking my time. Should still have them done this time tomorrow.
Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll wrote: is it just me or is the gold on the Lychguard brighter? Intentional? If so I like it, it makes them stand out as a special unit.
It is indeed! But that’s just because they hadn’t reached the Nuln oil stage yet. Paint the gold and silver bodies. Seraphim Sepia wash over that. Paint the weapons and wires and “cloth”. Nuln Oil wash over everything. Paint the glowy bits white, then yellow, then Tesseract Glow. The Lychguard do rate special enough they got a gold drybrush after the Sepia. May give them a light gold drybrush again after the Nuln, similar to the Lord.
Went beyond my previous “taking it easy” speed into full on slacking off the last few days, but I did finally get these first five Lychguard done. Second half of the unit is started, but only with the very first basecoat of gold.
Finally made some worthwhile progress on my Nephrekh Necrons after so long! I just really didn’t like painting the silver and black on those shields, but I don’t think I ever have to paint more of those again. I Do want more Lychguard, but they’ll get Warscythes. So yeah, just need to paint the glowy bits and these will finally be done and I can reward myself by Finally painting my Overlord.
Finished up the second half of my Lychguard unit. This leaves me 12 models short of fully painting my planned 2000pt army. Of course I don’t Own 11 of those models yet... And one of them is a Monolith... But minor details, right?
Don Qui Hotep wrote: These guys look awesome, congrats on being so close to your goal of 2000! It's cool to see a Necron project that's hewing to the lore.
To be fair, I painted my old Necrons gold before Dynasties were even a thing, and have chosen to champion Nephrekh mostly because their colors are closest to my pre-existing scheme.
Instead of just painting the Overlord by himself I decided to also get my additional Scarab bases done at the same time as well. Got the base gold and silver skin done and sepia washed, as well as an additional light drybrush of gold on the Overlord. His Golden skin won’t get the usual black wash, only his silver shoulders. He’s gotta be the brightest.
Didn’t quite finish painting their bases last night so I had to wait till I got home from work to get them done. At long last I allowed myself to paint my Overlord, and got my extra Scarabs done giving me two full units of those now. Eventually need to look at EBaying another nine of those to Max me out. In the meantime that Overlord gets my planned 1000pt/Crusade army to fully painted status. Let’s see what your reliance on Melta does vs the Golden Tide now Judy!
Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll wrote: That's a serious horde army, should give some trouble especially at those lower point counts!
The three regular opponents in the Crusade currently are Death Guard, Space Wolves, and a Sisters army who puts out nearly 20 Melta shots a turn. The other two worry me possibly, but I look forward to making her regret her reliance on Melta.
First of the trio of Canoptek Spyders ik converting from the new Reanimator model. Even has the addition of a Baby Maker that I had 3D printed for me. I will note that virtually none of this is my idea, I’m just copying what others have previously done because I do think it looks really good. Still deciding the best place to mount a Gloom Prism on one of these.
I’ve probably got closer to 2000pts already painted actually, but a number of it is superfluous to my current list building, which mostly relies on Warrior spam. The delay in the 1000pt army being finished just came down to saving the Overlord for last, as a You finished painting all your troops, now you’re allowed to paint the sweet character reward.
The actual planned 2000pt list just needs ten more Lychguard, which the flgs hasn’t had in stock for a while, and a Monolith, which I had planned to purchase but keep putting off in hope I win one thru one of GW’s recent spat of give aways.
Finished the trio of Canoptek Spyders, built out of Reanimators. Messed with the claws and necks on the additional two to repose those so they’re not all the same. Also I replaced their faces with a Wraith and two Spyder faces. Go prime these and I’ll work on getting them painted up this week.
I do like the actual Spyder model, I just think these look better in my opinion. I am also not opposed to Reanimators, and built and painted my one from Indomitus as is. These three were specifically purchased off eBay for the express purpose of building them into Spyders. Eventually I’ll pick up a Triarch Stalker and convert that into a big Canoptek thing as well. It may use the actual Spyder butt and some bits, or I may get another Reanimator for parts so it matches the rest.
Whether it's your idea or someone else's, you've still pulled the conversion off yourself. They look great. Looking forward to seeing them with paint on them.
In my common habit I’ve been really lazy in getting started on painting the Canoptek Spyders, so much so that the last of the Canoptek Scarabs I wanted and grabbed off of eBay showed up. Best prices were on some selling them in batches of six, and I only needed nine to max my allowance of them, so I chopped up the extra three accompany the Spyders and show the Baby Makers in action. You can also see where I stuck the lead Spyder’s Gloom Prism at this angle.
Finally getting around to working on a Monolith for my Necron forces. Need to gap fill the corners and some spots still. Never really do subassembly painting but with all the layered hollow space on this one I figure I should really do that here. Got a game with it this weekend though, and it reasonably stays together with a dry fit, and the rubber band adds some extra stability. I’m also working on a second unit of Lychguard, and I’ll probably end up painting those before I work up the motivation to tackle this monstrosity.
Despite being vastly more complex, three times the cost, and picking up the Titanic keyword, the new model Is slightly smaller than the old one though!

Really? Curious. It SEEMS bigger.
It also doesn't have as obvious "blocks" to do the stone-texture effect I did on the old one, so maybe it's best that I keep just the one old one I have...

Started painting up the first of those my newest Lychguard, as well as the Technomancer I converted to remove his Canoptek Cloak and make him walk. Probably could have had them done and ready for a scheduled game later today but I was lazy and just watched tv when I got home yesterday.
A new gaming aid I picked up this week, little snap on unit indicators from KWDesigns3D on Etsy. Always wished I had had something like this for my Bane hordes back in my Warmachine days, but I am not aware of existing as we’d not yet seen the rise of 3D printers like we have now. Just a nice something to easily mark otherwise identical units, as opposed to my Space Marines who all have organized squad markings.
These snap on quite easily, only little bits of flash on some of them that chipped off with no problem. The 32mm ones fit very snuggly, and don’t really move at all once they’re on. The 40mm ones are a bit looser, they’re not gonna fall off but they do rattle a little bit and I may glue those after I get my basing done later.
They also threw in a bag of extra freebies, which conveniently includes pairs of red, orange, and yellow that I can use to mark the Murder Buckets I had forgotten about until I was getting the Scarabs out.
First five of the Warscythe Lychguard finished up, along with the walking Technomancer. Gonna wait to do the rest of the Lychguard until I’ve gotten hold of the warscythes to have the whole unit built. In the meantime gonna work on my Phaeron’s Command Barge, try and have that finished before this weekend to get back to fully painted 1000pts status.
Getting started on the Overlord’s Command Barge. So much gold to paint, I only barely got my usual two coats done before I had to pack up. Gonna go back and do an extra third coat on some of the larger flat areas, even out some of the mottling from the gold’s generally poor coverage. Try and get that, the main silvers, and the sepia wash done tomorrow. Maybe start on the details. With luck I have it done before my game on Saturday so I can be fully painted.
Since I couldn’t play the new Subnautica yet yesterday I did indeed get quite a good amount of progress done. Base armors done and sepia washed. Main weapon and wire details done and Nuln Oiled the whole thing. Got back thru and did the first undercoat of white on the glowy bits. It’s coming along so nicely my standard issue Phaeron had to step in and check out his new ride. Just gotta paint the second undercoat of yellow on the glowy bits and then two coats of Tesseract Glow, and then paint up the bases in the temporary colors so they’re less unsightly.
Finished* my Phaeron’s might chariot, his Catacomb Command Barge, with magnetized feet so he can swap to the on foot base if deemed necessary. The actual wargear loadout of the melee version isn’t allowed on the chariot, so he’d act as proxy for a Warscythe in such a situation. Today though he’ll be showing off his new ride and wielding his trust Voltaic Staff in battle against Judy’s Sisters.
*I’m still stuborbly waiting for Green Stuff World to release their implied large crystals before I start working on all my bases, so the bases are just in temporary colors.
A good amount of plotting, asking various people for pictures of or looking at their models to compare various sizes, one donation of a Plasmacyte, and a bunch of carving and sculpting later, and The Deceiver is now a furry. Alternatively, Star Fox God. Let the last of the putty harden them get him primed and this’ll be my painting project for the week.
Opinion, paint his body/fur a single bright shiny gold, or use some washes and dry brushes to hint at a fox’s coloration pattern?
Super smart and seems fitting for a more tricksy star god I'd go for shiny gold myself, to continue aligning with the Deceiver mini we've known for however long now.
Finished up painting my Deceiver proxy conversion. Additionally I moved him down to a 50mm base, so it’s closer in size to the official 40mm. Didnt use that because it would be too small and a bit unstable for the model. Did his base texture while I was at it so I could get inside the hollow of the vortex. Really wish they had filled that in because it’s super inconvenient to work around.
I swear I was already planning on painting my Monolith next even before we found out about the Lord of War buffs in the new Chapter Approved coming out this weekend. Anyways, gotten started on the first few pieces of it. Two coats of gold on the smaller front and back bits, only one coat on the big middle piece because I foolishly thought I wouldn’t need to put the extra bottle of gold paint I’d picked up in anticipation of the amount this behemoth would go thru into my paint box right away. Sorry for the potato cam photos, the rear facing camera on my phone is busted and I had to use the selfie cam to take this. I dread the potential price tag of getting this camera fixed…
Got the Sepia Shade down on these Monolith components last week, and now I’ve painted up the weapon bits and wiring and it’s all ready to be Nuln Oiled, which I will again do at home to avoid interruptions because it’s so large.
Got the first parts of my Monolith all finished up. Will get started on the two side pieces next week. Painting the Blackstone parts last as I’ve got a special paint in mind for those and waiting for it to ship.
Got past my procrastination block and got back to work on my Necron Monolith and put down the initial basecoats of gold and silver on the two big side pieces. So. Much. Gold. Paint.
Got the sepia shade down on the Monolith sides. Do hate doing that on vehicles, it just never looks as good on the large flat surfaces as it does on the infantry. I was careful with the gold to make sure it didn’t pool badly, but I clearly underestimated how far it would run down the silver vanes. Luckily that’s all mostly on the inside areas you won’t see that much. Got the guns painted up, and now I’ll do the whole thing in Nuln Oil shade tomorrow!
Got the two side pieces of my Monolith finished* up. Gonna need some slight filing on the connection points to clean those back up but otherwise pretty good. Just have the four Blackstone chunks that go in the corners left to do, but the fancy paint I ordered for those has been sitting in Chicago for two weeks now, so I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to get those done and finish this thing up completely.
I actually finally started these at the beginning of last week, but as I didn’t even get the first coat of gold on all three and then procrastinated the rest of the week, I didn’t feel it was worth making a post for. Picked up The Infinite And The Divine audiobook and settled back into them today while listening to that, however, and now the initial gold and silver coats are done and ready for their coat of Seraphim Sepia shade tomorrow. Still waiting on the shipment of colorshift paint to finish the Monolith, and incidentally one of these guys has a bit that’ll need that too.
Thought I would get the black wash down, but it took longer than I thought to paint the wires. So. Many. Wires! Do that tonight and then start working on all their glowy bits.
Painted up the bases and got the white then yellow base coat down on the glowy bits. Do the coats of Tesseract and Nuln tonight to get these all finished up.
Finished the Canoptek Spyders, baring the gloom prism on the leader which I’ll do whenever that colorshift paint decides to show up. Also worked on the final batch of Canoptek Scarabs to go with them, which themselves are so quick to paint they’re nearly finished already as well. Just need a second coat of black on the base rim, plus I forgot to paint their flight stems black, and some Nuln Oil to outline the glowy bits.
Got myself another pair of Plasmancers to form a triumvirate, ready to lay waste to my foes with arcs of lightning. Modded up their arms to repose them a bit so they’re not identical. Perhaps gets them painted up yet before this weekend now.
Making quick pace on the new Plasmancers, as well as two more pairs of Crytothrall bodyguards, who are actually more intended for a Technomancer Canoptek list I’ve got planned, but they they were convenient to paint up as the same time as these two. But yeah, base gold and silver done and sepia washed, black and silver base on the weapons, silver then blued cloaks on the Crypteks, green and blue wires, all set for the all over coat of Nuln Oil (insert meme here). It’s my long morning so probably do that at home yet today, then do their bases and glowy bits at work tonight and they’ll be all set for Mortal Kombat this weekend.
You're making awesome progress on the army AduroT!
Lot of dudes on the go in here.
This is a wonderful scheme. Really love the turquoise on the guys lucky enough to get some, great contrast. I think the washes actually came out really well on the Monolith, which is an impressive task given how flat those panels are! Really looking forward to seeing what you do with colorshift paints on the Big Block.
On a non-painting note the coloured base rings for different scarab units are a brilliant idea.
Are you playing a game this weekend? Good luck! Remember to hide your freshly painted minis, they are always the ones to die first...
Thanks! Turquoise was an evolution over the years that began with black cloaks drybrushed blue to highlight them. Later changed to shades of blues washed black. Finally with this iteration of Necrons I wanted the cloaks metallic and made use of the new contrasts over silver, then washed black.
The colored rings are from KWDesigns3D on Etsy. I do rather like them for marking units that are otherwise identical hordes.
And yeah, one of the new Plasmancers will be taking to the field tomorrow alongside the original. Trying out a pair plus Deceiver at 1k to spam Mortal Wounds. Otherwise…
Additional Plasmancers and Cryptothralls finished. Amusingly I didn’t notice before that one of the additional Cryptothralls I got off eBay awhile back came on the wrong size base. I suspect someone out there has a Plasmancer on a 32mm. I do have some spare 32s at home so I’ll have to get that fixed.
The colorshift paint I ordered from Green Stuff World finally got here! Tried it out last night to mixed results. While the overall color came out really well, I got it on there a bit too think and it turned milky in the cracks and a couple surfaces. Gonna strip this and try it over again with a much lighter touch. May go so far as to almost dry brush it on and avoid having it go into the details at all.
I'm not very familiar with the different Necron dynasties, but the contrast between the green and metallic blue is so good! Great execution, it really makes the models come alive.
spaghettighoul wrote: I'm not very familiar with the different Necron dynasties, but the contrast between the green and metallic blue is so good! Great execution, it really makes the models come alive.
Well I’m more Nephrekh Based in my scheme, as the dynasty lacks many actual examples of what they look like, so stuff like the blue cloaks and silver shoulders are additions of my own.
And after long last the Necron Monolith is completely painted and glued together! Still need to do the base though… And it’s not glued to the base yet either so I can get under there and work that up. I’ve got all the stuff I think I want so I’ll work up a couple test stuffs here soon to see how I want to do the crystals and gather opinions, then the Monolith base will probably be the first of my Necrons to get based so I can glue it down. Otherwise the colorshift paint worked out ok, not great, but not bad, and that’s more because the big chunks of Blackstone here just aren’t a good medium to show off it’s quirks. Still tempted to start a MonPoc Invaders from the Nth Dimension army and paint them entirely in different colorshifts…
Going to do the Gloomprism on the lead Spider with it, but you won’t really see it very much. The big one will be Silent King’s laser turrets when I get around to doing him.
Not quite done, but sufficient for proof of concept test subjects for my Necrons’ fancy basing. I want to have at least my initial forces fully based before the 40k Crusade Campaign starts this weekend. Two nights should be enough to base up just north of two dozen foot sloggers.
Texture paints down! Now to wait a day for them to fully dry and cure. Most of them don’t need that long, but some of them went down thick, especially where the cracked earth effects are present around the crystals. Hit the bases with Nuln Oil to shade them (carefully avoiding getting it inside the cracked earth) and then repaint the rims black. Really a whole lot of time spent not actually painting them and just letting simple stuff dry. I guess I’ll just have to watch more tv.
Legs! I never much cared for the Skropekh Destroyers’ tripod legs, so when I happened across some nice 3D printed one I jumped on it. They were even available on Shapeways! The Lord legs weren’t initially, but I bugged the seller and he added those as well. The regular Destroyers are assembled “wrong” because it’s actually designed as a full bit that replaces the legs during construction, but mine were already built so I clipped off the spines and pinned them. Will have to get these repainted and based this week now. Warriors included for scale.
Skorpekh with chunky human legs O_O While I think I prefer the concept of the original, they're IMO pretty badly executed by GW, plus I've never seen a sculptor pull off tri-legs. Szeras is the best of the skittery bois ... but he's both better designed and has four legs
Anyway, cool twist that works particularly well on the grunts but is still neat on the lord
Painted legs! Went ahead and bases the Plasmacyte and Reanimator while I was at it to get all* the stuff that shared their tray.
So with the legs painted, I really like the way they look on the Skorpekh Destroyer grunts. Maybe a tad wide in the hips, but a very good height and scale. Gonna try some of these out on Heavy Lokhust Destroyers next and see how that works out.
Skorpekh Lord isn’t Bad meanwhile, but it’s not as good. I think his legs are a bit too large, like they were scaled for the height of his arching shoulder armor and not where his head and shoulders actually are. Might have been done to match the height of his tripod. Depending on how the above mentioned Lokhust mod works out, I may be pestering the maker for some of a different pose and possibly see if he can do a not quite as large set and reredo the Lord’s legs again.
First model built* in many a month! I’ve wanted to do a Hexmark Destroyer for a long while, but missed it when it first came out and we’ve never been able to restock it for some reason. Recently came across one when I was conducting reconnaissance on the competition in Ankeny and snatched it up. Since my original desire was always to use it against Judy’s Sisters, and I’ve got my first game scheduled in many a month against Judy’s Sisters tomorrow, I figured I should try to get it table ready right quick so it can pew pew them right fierce. Gonna see how much paint and I can on it tonight.
*Obviously it’s missing it’s legs yet. I didn’t think to grab the alternate bipedal Destroyer legs I’ve got and I want to see how it would look on those first to match my bipedal Skorpekhs.
After messing with the list I wanted to take, I ended up with a pretty Destroyer centric theme so instead I half painting the Hexmark from yesterday I built a pair of the Lokhust Heavy Destroyers I’ve been sitting on. Mimicked my old style of them to change their lower bodies into jet packs and gave them normal legs as well. The larger size of these makes them less dynamic and able to swing the jet pack up for use, it’s more locked to the back in this iteration, but still looks pretty good imho. Trimmed the internal pegs on the guns so those can be swapped out for either option.
Took my Monolith to a tournament early this month, which meant I had to attach it to its base, which meant I had to finally get around to doing it’s base.
Edit: Aaaaaand it did the thing where it uploaded the thumbnail sideways…
Got my Mr Boopers all painted up. Pretty happy with how it turned out all considered. Not pictured in this post is their little button dock that allows them to be wearable on a shoulder or sleeve.
, nice execution. I like the idea of the golden fur as well.
I'd go for shiny gold myself, to continue aligning with the Deceiver mini we've known for however long now.
I appreciate the smaller base too.
