Hello all...

It has been some time since I posted anything new, and the new necron models have captured my imagination. I LOVE the new Canoptek units, and will be featuring them heavily in this force...I havent completed any yet as they are a bit expensive, but I am taking this army one unit at a time. Please let me know what you think.

** UPDATE!!**

so, I have completed a wraith, and I have uploaded some views for you all! I am working on taking some pics to show you all how to do the glass glowies, and there are plenty on these figs! ugh! took forever, but worth it i think!

enjoy!

** UPDATE!! 06/07/12 **

Here is the completed unit of 3 Wraiths! I am very happy with how they turned out...the red eyes and aged metal gives a very Matrix look, which is the theme of the force...lots of Canoptek units.

** UPDATE!! 06/10/12**

New Crypteks added to the end of the thread..getting a bit crowded up front!

Love the aged look of the metallics, and the glowing red is a nice change.

Can't wait to see more.

These are awesome! Any chance of a close up of the orb in the lords hand, and possibly a tut?

Thank you for your comments all!

When you mean 'tut', I assume you mean tutorial? Oddly enough, I am working on my wraiths currently, and they are divided up in the sections of painting! I will take some pics before I move on to show in the hobby section if you like. I will see what I can do for a close up on the orb in the lords hand.

I'd love a tutorial too! These look great, I much prefer the weathered look to necrons than the typical factory-fresh polished metal!

I like the patina you gave those Necrons a lot . I will go so far to say that this is the best Necron force I have seen .

The only poorly painted miniature is the one that is not painted.

Looking great. Love seeing others do the patina effect, it's always been one of my favorites. That may be the best use of it I have seen.

The orb is especially impressive.

I love the look you've given the models, I was kinda sick of the standard crons and you've done a beautiful job with yours, kudos

With blood and rage of crimson red,
Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,
We'll burn you all--That is your fate!

Greatly painted models. Nice weathering and I really like the OSL, however the bases are a bit boring and off color wise.

I do agree with the bases...I have pretty much based all my models regardless of system the same for decades now, and I am kinda stuck on doing something new. If you were to base the model, what would you do? Perhaps martian sand? or urban ruins? any ideas for me ?

To complement your weathering I would do sand or swamp (sand seems to match better imho)

Try using basic gravel and then the armeggedon texture with a lil red mixed in.

Thankfully the Texture paints take really well to adding colors.

I do a mix of the snow texture and a blue wash on my blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/445832.page

Amazing. I love the verdigris and OSL glow, they certainly give your 'crons a unique colour scheme and aesthetic while still remaining true to the ancient artifact theme. Really unique.

Excellent painting. Love the necron warrior's weapons and the glowing effect you've done with them.

I love the dark worn metal look and the fantastic OSL.
The weapons are awesome too.

Damn these look awesome! If I may, they kind of remind me of the machines from the Matirx.
