Just finished these! Hope you like them, C&C is welcome

Looks pretty great. Keep up the nice work. The glow on the back is amazing, very jealous of your skills.

They are impressive, the OSL looks great! Though the carapace "joins" could be a bit darker, but I'm probably being overly picky on your gorgeous work.

Well done!

Fantastic, loving the backs!

awesome!

Thanks guys!

Thanks Destrado! I totally agree with you, the carapace looks little flat and needs some work still

I also like the eyes... Glossy coat or plain highlight? Or both... Looks good, too.

Could you share your recipies? I'm trying to do something similar with some Dark Eldar, especially with their armour.

Thanks!

Recipe for eyes? Eyes are done just as you said! Black, small dot of white for highlight and gloss coat

Those look great. The OSL on the back orbs in particular is excellent.

I love the gore on the scythe arms as well.

Kudos!

Fantastic! I just built my wraiths and now I'm a bit daunted with gorgeous examples like this floating around....

I might have seen these before... I'm not sure though.
Anyways, excellent work on everything.
Especially the glow on their backs and their bases are amazing!

D'oh, I meant the colors you used for the carapace! I asked about the eyes because I was unsure if you had used a very glossy black (like Vallejo's Glossy Black) or, well, did it like you did

In the meantime, show us the rest of your necrons!

Really liking the glowing effect. What did you use for the dirt?

nice job. I like the bases, great color that you dont see many people choose for bases; but that clay color compliments the color scheme of the models nicely. All the painting work is well done. My favorite part is the lens; again you did something most painters dont, you painted the lens black and gave them that glossy glass look. There is something very eerie and creepy about those lenses, the fact that it looks like nothing is looking back at you scares me a little. Terrifyingly nice work!

I would love to see the rest of your necron army! I would assume they are also very well painted?

PLEASE tell me how you did your bases! I've been wanting to do a red planet style basing scheme for my necrons and your bases look simply perfect!

Very nice, some of the best ones I've seen.

Thanks guys! Feedback always motivates me.

Bases are just pieces of cork board and sand. Painted with GW Doombull Brown, drybrushed with GW Kommando Khaki and after that I add some Forgeworld pigments ( Aged Rust and Orange Rust). OSL on carapace is done using WMA Blue and to highlight that I just add some white to it! Hope that helps...

I dont have army yet, but here is a peek to the future!

Great job, keep it up. Love the bone and glowing blue that you choose.

Really enjoy your work, I like the red glow with bone combination. My only critique on the Annhilation Barge is the back spash that surrounds the Tesla Distructor that curves with the spine is white, I feel it would look better if it matched the metal color and weathering scheme to break up the white and show more contrast. Other than that great work.

That barge is gorgeous. It's SO uncanny that your colourscheme is almost exactly like mine. The way you did the bone/ceramic cream is amazing.

I've been having trouble working out how to do it myself so I would greatly appreciate a painting guide on how you did your bone/cream. It'd really help me out! Your aged metal looks really great as well and it's something I've wanted to include in my scheme too so again I'd really appreciate a guide on how you achieved that effect. Thank you!

OP how do you accomplis the OSL, airbrush?

really cool scheme

Honestly man, these are absolutely amazing... lighting second to none. Only criticism would be to dirty you the white armor a bit, looks a little out of place.

Nope. I'm outta here. Scary as hell wraiths giving me nightmares. Too real.

These look absolutely fantastic. The wraiths are making me think of Portal which would be an interesting theme for a necron army...

These make me want to get some crons and I hate crons. These are painted supertly well done.
