Many thanks for any advice etc. My sis wants plenty

**M'Kachen's Nemesis**

The 2nd and fourth tests are the closest to a more "traditional" look, she can easily improve them by doing a drybrush of Mithril Silver to highlight them.

The third and sixth could use the same improvement but with a darker color I suppose.

As for the first and fifth, it's all up to her I suppose!
I don't know precisely what color she used for the first one but a quick highlight of Ice Blue could be good.

But I suppose the best advice anybody could give her is to keep on practicing!

**Nob 'ead**

Thanks, good so far!

**Savis**

I'd say that the first is the most interesting while the all metal ones are fairly traditional. The rainbow one seems too humour based for my taste but if that's what you're aiming for then go ahead.

**Havok210**

I agree with Savis. I personally like unique color schemes and the first one has that. The rainbow one looks more comical, but like I always say: paint them based on what you like!

**M'Kachen's Nemesis**

And don't forget to show us the progresses!

**Nob 'ead**

^ I'll try

maybe i'll set her up a blog or something so she HAS to paint! Maybe thats a bit evil though...

**Monster Rain**

The blue one Is great. I'd go with that!

**jerseydevil**

first one or third one. there is no need for another silver necron army out there.

**an00bis**

The first one! all the other ones have been done way to much! but i do say i like the rainbow one too hahah

**Nob 'ead**

Mainly the first one then! Any advice on how to improve it? More colors perhaps?

**an00bis**

well in my opinion it would be good to give it a wash maybe a sepiah wash or maybe some type of blue wash to add details

**Monster Rain**

Bright Orange eyes would be really striking.

**Fafnir**

Rainbow Necrons for the melon-fething win.

**Nob 'ead**

Indeed...

**Dashyl**

I like hte rainbow one personally, just cause it takes away from the standard look haha, but heres a link that goes pretty indepth on how to paint necron warriors
