So my son comes to me last week and says, "Dad, you know what I want for Christmas? I want you to finish painting the Necrons I got for my Birthday". Finish? He had not even started.

I painted a tombspider for him and he was gonna do the rest. But it didnt work out that way. So here they are. I have others I am still to finish I will post later.

got a picyure of just one of those guys by chance? They're kinda hard to see in these pics.

Well, here ya go. This is about as good as I can do. I am not very good at the close ups.

Is that a purple and green color scheme?

You have made an army of...
DECEPTI-CRONS.

HAHAHAHHAH classic

That looks really good!

Decepti-crons! Awesome! And they look cool, too. Nice work Dad.

Looks a bit like an Evangelion color scheme

well done! they look very cool!

That's a cool effect in between the ribs... Looks like they're glowing.

Nice work.

Too yellow.
Too green.

Wait, did your Necrons steal my Necrons' guns? I better go check my case...

Thanks for the comments folks.

Well, its hard to see in the pics but the Necrons have an oily look to them. The effect looks way better then the pictures show. I used red, green, blue and purple on each warrior. Some actually look more red or more blue and so on.

here are the destroyers, about 95% done They might show the paint scheme a little better.

Heres the bossman



and some scarabs

I like the scarabs the best. The green makes them look like they are glowing.

Yah, v good, I like that oil on water effect.

Well, after looking at Ouze and his conversion of the Neccron Lords staff I have been inspired to try something similar. My bits are limited but I will post a pic when I get er done.

Heres the improved staff. Not great but for a fast try at it it works for me.

Ok, now I see the oily look. You definitely captured the 'oil on water' effect, although there might be a little bit too much purple.

I guess that means the Decepti-cron idea is still up for grabs. I wonder if I could make a Monolith that transformed into Megatron...

The oily effect that you were able to do is very unique. I really like that you've stayed away from the standard boltgun-metal-drybrushed-over-black scheme and incorporated other colors into your 'crons.

I'd like to see a Decepticron army that transforms into an extra large Nightbringer, with the lord as the head.

Surely it'd've have to be a Pylon that transformed into Megatron?

QFT - this man said it best. Also a very nice present for your kid

I told my son this was it. Anything else he got he was painting.

He just got some flayed ones as a late Christmas present from his aunt and he is begging me to paint them.

He wont learn unless he does it man! Dont give in!

I am trying not to give in but I so want to do these and paint the skin green. Surely they could use orky skin too.

That's quite good... I like how you've achieved the glowing affect! But the green looks a bit 'out-of line', like you got some onto the outer body, but that's just IMHO. Awaiting an update!

I did get some on the outer parts as I was trying to paint the insides of the rib cages. I need in invest in a smaller brush. But its all good because these are my sons and he will be painting any more he gets and it becomes his problem now.
