Hello, I am new to the site and the genre as a whole, thanks for your time!

I have just purchased some Necrons and I was wondering what paints (titles specifically) to use for painting them?

I also picked up Trazyn, the Infinite and was wondering what paints (titles) to use for him as well?

Well if you want you can use all the same paints for your entire army including your HQ's but for a simple Necron paint scheme start with a black primer coat and then base coat that with a metallic silver of your choice, dry brush or stipple that with some brown or red to show age and then highlight with a brighter metallic silver then you pick out the recesses with a very bright green, and done. for your HQ's you can add some gold into them to set them off if you like. for engine cowlings i usually paint them bronze and then dry brush a bit around the nearby area to show heat wear on the model.

I know i didn't tell you any paint names, but that is so you can pick them out for your self and customize the look yourself.

Ok sounds good, yeah I'm here at work bored and can't acces the games-workshop site or any game site for that matter.

Check out my tutorial for necrons
