I'll Be Back

Hey all. This is my first post to the site, so I figured I should kick it off with a couple photo's of my Necron Army. Please let me know what you think; I'm relatively new to the game, and these were my first attempts at painting miniatures.

They look pretty good so far. How are you planning on basing them?

They look awsome, only thing I think is off is that the gold on the lord looks a bit bright compared to the rest of the army.

@Necro - Thanks. I'm thinking about painting bits of gravel and coarse sand a blackish grey, interspersed with chips of limestone lightly brushed with dark angel green.
@Dreadanant - Thank ye, kind sir. And I wanted the Lord to stand out a bit from the basic troops - when I finish modeling his Immortal Squad, they're going to match his colorscheme, but with varnished white skulls instead.
And here's a few more images for good measure.

Every time I see Necron warriors I always wonder why GW allowed the warriors to be cast with their legs too far apart to fit on the base properly.
Good job on the painting though, looks suitably Necron-esque

I'm with Jordankeeps on this one, the warriors look good, but I would go back and either touch up the Lord or maybe strip some of the parts for a redo, it looks like he was originally all gold and you tried to paint over that with black, usually it's better to do it the other way and start with black as your undercoat. Thinning the paint might help too to avoid chunky areas.

Of course everyone here has room to grow in our painting, but at least your army is full painted. Welcome!
