I've taken a few better pictures of my Necron forces, although the focus isn't great on some photos :( Also the eyes look better on most of them as there is more contrast between the Verdigris and the eyeball

To start with, here's the full Blue (blurry) Squad of Warriors


Immortals, blue has become my favourite colour for my Necrons.


One of my new Destroyers


The first of my Flayed Ones (these guys take a LOT more time)


And a Lord on Destroyer body with an experimental paint scheme that I'm not sure about, and is probably not yet finished.


Cheers

I like.

Nicely done.

Looks great. Nice change from their traditional look.

Badass lightning on the "Rods", like it very much..

The lord looks awesome

I really like the turquoise rust/weathering on the destroyer, great color chose.

I like the Destroyer paint scheme much better than the Lord on Destroyer body.

very nice blending of the colors. makes me want to do a similar style with mine now.

Really do like! Strays away from the generic fluorescent green.

differnt scheme especially cause you did the badass thing of painting the rods GENIUS!

These are some of the best 'crons I have seen mate good work! If you'd take some advice for the flayed one instead of a hard red line maybe use several red wash layers?

I like the blue and silver ones. Anything to get away from the green rods/bright silver stock look gets points in my book.

Very nice. I like the brass paint with the blue highlights MUCH more than the later stuff, but that is simply due to the appealing color contrast.

Akward highlighting, thick painting and poor contrasting kinda ruins some really grate models. I would strip these asap. No offence...

I like. The blue is a good color, especially with the glow coming off of the blue guns, and ribcage and eyes of some models.

I play and paint Necrons. The one guys who said the paint is thick, I see that on the Flayed One, but not so much on the rest. I love the blue scheme, especially the "inner" glow of the warriors. I'm currently repainting 100 warriors an am thinking about doing a similar thing. The blue on blue D-Lord is actually pretty cool, even though I initially was like WTF. The Destroyer and Immortals are rad. How do you get the "energy ripple" effect on the rods?

If you learn how to give constructive criticism and you promise to stay under your bridge, I'll throw you a Billy Goat every now and then.

It's simply stippling Mordian and Ice blues over Necron Abyss, I'm not too consistent with it yet and my older red ones aren't very good :p

Cheers for the suggestions, I'll give more thought to the Flayed Ones

The brass patinas and the blue trim blend really nicely; great choice. As for the Flayed Ones, I might suggest applying your reds a little more sporadically; you could try modeling some little rips and gashes in the skin to make it look less uniform.

You have the start of something really cool here.

Actually, on a second look, the problem with the Flayed One isn't the thickness, its that you need to highlight again over the wash on the flesh part to take the gloss off. On the battlefield, this guy would look fine, as long as you take the shine away...

Personally I don't like the flayed ones but then again I've never liked the models or how anyone has ever painted them That being said the scheme looks great and I'm really impressed with the power rods. I woulden't be that brave to try it.

And just one more thing I get that the Lord has a glow about him but it seems to me like he's too much one color. I don't know maybe that's just me, anyway great job

Best necrons I have ever seen.

It really isn't a brass color. I'm seeing more of a silver as brass tends to be goldish. However, I still love them but I think it looks more like strange, laws of physics defying lighting affect than a tarnish.

I'm sorry if you don;t want to listen, but you're a bad painter. Sometimes in life we have to accept that we can't do everything. Maybe you should try some growing up?

DONT FEED THE TROLLS!!!

I like the hard red line on the flayed one, its looks like freshly peeled skin.

I think the energy rods are really different/awesome looking, it really gives them that old metal feel, rather than most necron forces who seem fresh off the assembly line. How big is your force?

Hey man, great color scheme its different and i totally like that

The only thing i dont like is the flayed ones, i would hit them with a spray to dull em down, nice job on the typical rods

Modquisition on. Here's the part you get to go to time out. There is no need for anyone else to respond to this poster as he will be unable to reply for a few days. Guys criticism can be done, but in a constructive fashion.

I really like that lord. Sure, like you said, he's a bit experimental, but that's wicked. I really think HQs should stand out as the leaders of your force, and this guy does with aplomb. I don't think your paint's too thick at all, and the verdigris is really effective. I assume that's Hawk Turquoise?
