My first completely painted squad! also the reason of the reason why i stopped painting!
( the varnish ate the paint from WHOLE squad , really discouraged me back then )

They look nice and clean from what I can see.

The blue is clashing a bit with the green-rods, though. But that's my only criticism of this.

not a fan of the blue parts. but it still looks good.

lets see more of that crisis suit thing in the corner

Nice, Ditto on the blue. BTW is that your weird mega-armoured Grot I see leaping at them?

i agree with the blue ( they were actually teal before and highlighted too , but varnish ate them and i just cant make myself re do all that again ) :"/

yes it is lol , some of my necron were posed as swinging their weapon into CC so i thought i'll give them
something to swing at when i took the photo


*edit ugh double post again, i think i pressed reply instead of quote ,sorry

Its interesting how photo always show what i normally couldnt see...
i just noticed all my bases are not the same colored lol. I really really
need to do them all at once.

I have to agree with the above comments. Not keen on the interaction between the blue and green ... they clash. Nice work on the body of the necrons though. Looks really good.

I like the blue actually, I know they conflict however the high contrast adds to it. Why would necrons give a crap about fashion or aesthetics? The metal turned out well, and I love the bases, it looks like something from the Doom series where tissues are plastered to walls.

I gotta agree, those bases are very cool.

Very nice, love the bases. Don't care much for the blue though.

The crisis suit thing looks neat, but the burst cannon on a pole looks dumb.

I like the colours(blue clashes a bit, but I don't mind too much), looks very similar to a Destroyer Lord I painted up a few months ago.

Why did the varnish eat the paint? What varnish were you using? Tell me what you did wrong so I don't do it!

Tip: Don't use spray varnish.

Testors paint-on Dullcoat will do the trick just fine, and you don't run the risk of ruining your models that way.

Hate to be an echo, but the blue does look strange directly next to the green. Otherwise, they look nice.

Not all spray varnish eats up paint. i use spray varnish for some of my minis and the paint's fine. i use RJ london spray varnish btw.

i used GW spray varnish , what did i do wrong er.... i have no idea o_o

nice weather, was sunny, no wind , shook can really well, spray the squad.

Looked ok when it was freshly sprayed, by the time it dried ...

It almost look like the spray melted the paint, which turned into grey mess ,

from the first glance * in shock too , i thought i used grey undercoat lol

thats pretty much what it looked like.

I've used spray on Testors dull coat and gloss coat for about 20 years and never had a problem.

Basically all the gold turned silverish you can see some of the *lesser damaged one that lost its pigment but wasnt severe so i didnt touch up on it. Alot of the silver turned grey, you'll notice some of their head doesnt shine ya because it lost the metallic pigment i guess. The teal ( i was using TK color scheme ) turned grey , so i just thought AHHHHHHH forget this, and just paint it with blue ( teal bottle dried up -_- )
