I've been working on these guys for a while now, and I am half way through, will be updating photos as I finish them after this

In chronological order:

They are absolutely stunning! and such a beautiful style of painting you do! I am very impressed and simply love how they look, the colour choice is so totally different to anything I've seen on Necrons before and surprisingly works perfectly (for me) I can't wait to see more of these excellent models!

It's so pwetty!

I demand a shot of the entire army. Your blending skills are quite superb.

Wow, disco inferno! Lovely paint job, really unique look to your army too.

I am utterly in love with these. ill keep my eye on it

Lovely to see Necrons done is something other than silver and green.

These look bloody quality!
Never seen anything like this done with crons before and its a pleasent supprise to have not seen a sea of silver and green.

Very original and incredibly well done! Your army is a feast for the eyes!

Very unique and interesting. Awesome paint job.

these guys have a real comic book feel to them. never seen them like this but have often seen necrons (armies/models/etc)
that aren't metallic/green. some fine examples (this one included)
are to be found in the gallery section of this fine website (also google, flickr etc) but overall IMO really done a great job.

Nice mix of colors. You got the whole rainbow in there without it looking like a mess. Very original. Nice work.

That's an awesome color scheme and some really nice work! Props

Freakin' beautiful! These are amazing!

I really like the looks of the foot soldiers. Very different and very striking. Your army will be noticed by anyone walking by,and most likely remembered too. However, the vehicles I think should have been done in the same manner as the weapons on them. The pilots/drivers are not even noticed. Overall, great.

thanks for the compliments guys! Glad you like them! I've got a few more photos to share tonight, and army shots will be another day, for now, here's mr Overlord w/scythe.













and in case you were wondering, this is how how I do my Barges:




Thanks for watching!

I really like the effect...almost makes them look cartoony but not in a bad way.
Intentional or not the result is stunning. I love the armour (nice blending) and the NMM like effect on the guns is outstanding.

I like the choice of all your colours except for me it's not working as much as it could on the base. The purple is just too unrealistic, although it does work with the rest of the colours to a degree.

Very stylized and animated looking, I like it.

My one gripe is the shading. If you are going to a glowing, magma look, shouldn't you be reverse shading, e.g. the low points of the model are hotter and brighter than the high points? You did that on some of your vehicles. I would have enjoyed seeing it carried over to the rest of the army.

I wasn't so sure about these until I reached the scarabs- they are beautiful.
I'm in agreement with earlier in that the pilots do look lost on the vehicles, at first I just thought you hadn't put them on yet.

These are quite striking and very amazing to look at.

Those are amazing. I love your overlord. You should really post an army picture when it's finished!

Wow, what a fantastic colour scheme. They are beautifully painted and a real break from the norm. I think the reason it works so well is the focus is shifted from the usually bright green weapons to the models themselves. Top job!

This is insanely unique and perfectly executed. I love them.

Truly dedicated layering that! Very unique colour scheme for necrons

My eyes just melted. Its ok, I didnt need them.
MAAAAAAAAAAAAN those are cool.

Awesome looking necrons mate!

Love the tablecloth.



On point, top notch work here mate. Love the colour scheme. As Howard said its nice to see something aside from silver and green on Newcrons.

thanks guys, I must admit the barge pilots were the first experimental models I painted, then chose to stick with them because I wanted to see how far I could improve, that and I'm lazy that way!
The other point about the scheme disparity between vehicles and models, I guess you are quite correct, I did try the same scheme when I started, having a darker edge, it just didnt have quite the same feel of 'molten magma' as they do now, just google magma and have a look, there really is a transition between super dark to super bright, funnily enough, seemingly random and inconsistent at times.
I'm working on the super elite immortal squad now, starting with 'captain america' as I like to call him, so stay tuned!

Wow! Talk about alot of work. I can't image how much red and yellow you go thru. Visually stunning.

Original painting so amazing ;à
