Archon D

thanks i'm using apple barrel paints because they are a lot less expensive. the only problems are that they are a lot more grainy than citadel paints and they dont give a smoothe shine i'm wanting.

i like it looks good i could only ever paint the scarabs

and my lord which took me a while be he is cool

I use alot of cheap paints too for my army and they tend to look good. Your Necrons look very good.

they look awsome i like the color you used nice work

The gold accents look great. i never thought they would look that good.

They look very nice.
Maybe a little wash to make them greasy or oily.

One more question who are the NERONS

Thumbs up on the apple barrel paint. Its what i learned to paint mini's with, but i don't believe i ever got anything to come out as well as these.

Oh, and after the 40th odd warrior or so, resist the idea that they might rise up and get you while you sleep

Horrible, horrible lighting. On the positive side, I can see you've got 4 - 5 colours on there. Neat start.

Aple barrel paints? never heard of them. are they cheaper then GW? do they last as long?

from the title I was expext pictures of your brain. Oh well.

As already said the lighting is poor - I take it they were taken under flourescent bulbs? The basic MS picture viewer has a 'fix' button which includes an auto-adjust on colour & exposure which may do wonders.
On the whole it's a nice clean & simple scheme. The only advice i would give is to give the gold a wash (sepia mixed with mud?)

I would assume the colours are more like this?



Its a simple white balance adjustment in Photoshop but it make a big difference when asking for advice on paint jobs!

I can do an article on colour management of your photos if people are interested?

Edit the colours are still a bit magenta but the original file is under exposed so the noise is very high. But its better than before

I can't see the picture so i don't know.

yes they were taken under flourescent lights, i didn't have any other lights.
any way the globs are just a part of apple barrel paints but on the feet i accidentally got super glue on them when i put the sand on and it turned to cement.

sorry

That is why you use elmers glue to base young padowan....
