HOLY MOTHER OF A GUN! THAT'S A LOT OF NECRONS.... wow

HAHAHAHA, now if only someone would paint them as croissants, that would look both delicious and terrifying.

haha just saw this:



Good luck with all of those necrons! Is it just the one person working on them ALL? or is there a team of you. I can see how you could do a lot of vehicles, but all of those warriors...ouch. Keep up the good work so far! ;D

Thanks for the replies everyone, I was on vacation last week, but I'm back now!



That is 300+ Necrons Warriors in unassembled form. We are waiting on another 100-200 to arrive and we had already painted around 100 for the client last round.

@progreen10: I have a team of seven working on this project, 5 of them are "trainee" painters and this will be their first project. I can always call in more people if needed I'll get a picture of us all tomorrow.

@Tunach: I would like to do that but I don't think the client would like it ^_^

@BeLozey: The finished models will have a lot more color, I have not done any of the green gauss but we will probably have it glowing OSL like.

Also a quick plug for you Zombicide and Sedition Wars fans, just because we have a Tomb World's worth of Necrons doesn't mean we aren't taking other commissions (in fact we have about 2 dozen in house), we are running specials on Exhibition Standard painted sets. There are 5 slots left for Zombicide and 4 left for Sedition Wars. Zombicide will run at $450 and Sedition Wars at $350.

Thanks for looking as always!

The title for this blog immediately caught my eye, and I found myself wondering aloud to no one in particular, "Where would you store 40,000 points worth of Necrons??" I love the new Necrons and all, and Necrons in general, but 40K worth is too mind-boggling. Still, I look forward to seeing if you and your team can pull it off. Best of luck, Necron painter!

@ Dr. Temujin: Thanks for the encouraging words! I don't know how we will even store them. I had to convert the photography table into a storage space for the figures already, but even with only 6 ships, it's already crowded!

"uh... Sir I think we need evac from this thread"

"what's the problem corporal?"

"too many necrons, too much wasted money, too much wtf ,Over"

*captain takes a look at picture*

"whatttt thhhhaaaaa fuuuuuuuuuuuucccxxck!"

Hello again Dakka,

Another update.

Working on the Tomb Spyders 4AM.


Tomb Spyders finished 12AM-5AM. 4 hours assembly and 1 hour painting.


Sleep from 5:30 to 6:30, other trainee artists came over at 7. Here is what the studio currently looks like:

Left Row: Lynn, sivooo, Kameron
Right Row: m3ndo, Artie, phanda



Lynn gluing Necrons legs.


sivooo and Artie cleaning mold lines.

Thanks again for looking, will update once more at the end of the day.

I am still trying to figure out who the hell would want 40k of any army. I mean really? Damn!

Wow, I can't believe you're spending the extra time to clean mould lines. That's crazy talk!

This is still madness, but I'm kind of impressed you have a production line going on...

Well it's certainly not at the top of my 'if I were an eccentric billionaire' list. And depending on much Natalie Portman charges for dates with random strangers, my 'if I were an eccentric billionaire' list might not be very long.

Another update, ended our 12 hour shift. Finished assembling 196 Necron Warriors and 48 Scarab Swarms. Pretty impressive considering that this is the first time most of the trainees have even seen miniatures. And yes, all the mold lines are gone! Here are some more pictures.

Assembled Figures.

Not pictured are 50 or so Warriors that Kobayashi is working on and many more that we have not received from the client yet.





Korean Pop music, and lots of coffee keeps us awake. OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!




For those who asked: The Hello Kitty Alarm clock is there to time our breaks ^_^


Lynn doesn't know how to assemble Necron heads.


Also these came in the mail today:

Thanks again for reading, encouraging words are welcome, we are going to need a lot more encouragement to finish everything!


And one last thing, we are not able to disclose the amount paid for on this commission, it is between the Studio and the client, so please don't ask! We have pricing guides on the website if you would like to do a rough estimate.

Loving the new necron head ;D

MOTHER OF GOD. Soooooooooo many Necrons. I applaud you sir.

This looks like fun! Who doen't love cleaning mould lines? lol
And I usually get tired of it after 5 or 6 models.... so kudos to you!

I think the difference is at the end of the day, we do it as a hobby, while these folk are getting paid for it.

Money is often a good motivator.

Wow, and I thought I was developing a serious problem with spending money on Necrons.

I just want to know how many cans of Matte Aluminum Krylon you go through.

40k of 40k. love it. but necrons?! lol. this is insane! can't wait to see it all.

Imagine 40k points of Orks.... I thank that model count would be too insane, lol!

The table would break Merlin.

I cant decide which I find more impressive. The scope of the commission, the quality of the painting, or that you seem to be a young man starting his own business. And is apparently good at it. I wish you good luck and great success on all counts sir!

It's... Beautiful... I can't wait to see just THESE guys all painted up, let alone 40,000 (Oh, I see what you did there, LOLOLOLOLOL) points worth.

Also, could we get a close up of the Overlord by himself? Looks really nice.
Keep up the good work, you insane people you!

The paint jobs looks nice for five minutes and 40000 points of necrons.... Good luck finding a 40k apoc game

Thats a freaking massive army and thats WITHOUT the 6 Monoliths i counted tucked away in the very first pic.

... excuse me while I pick up my jaw.
Do you know how many points (rough estimate) is in the last picture alone? Out of how much?
I know you guys still have a commission to meet, but I would just be happy seeing just these guys fully painted up and ready to go. Anyways, keep it up!
