I spent an absolute age hand blending every line and hand blending the OSL glow on the orbs. I think I've achieved a richness and neatness doing it this way that couldn't be achieved if I'd used my airbrush.

If you'd like to see more pictures check out my blog.

My Necron painting tutuorial is here if you'd like to know in detail the techniques that went in to painting the model.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out.

That is outstanding! You are talented to say the least! Great work on the red highlighting!

**combat engineer**

I must say, that is a kickass paint job. Any chance of seeing a full necron force shot?

Man that Tesseract is HUGE..

Really cool stuff, but I wonder why I haven't seen a Nightbringer in ages?

**Requiem**

You must be insane! :O is that a 3 steps edge highlight on the entire model? really nicely done

Pretty much but I glazed inbetween the layers to help the blends on the larger scale.

**sockwithaticket**

I would have been driven utterly mad doing that. My attempt would also be rubbish. Kudos to you, sir.

**Demic25**

Wauw loving the necrons!

**ryanroberts**

Oh my lord that is beautiful! That's the first one of these I've seen painted (aside from 'Eavy Metal).

**dakkajet**

That looks great! I love the texture. Well done!

**meecham63**

Great job ! As a GK player, I also love the Stormraven

**Jimsolo**

Looks pretty sweet. I dig the choice of using red over green.

**Trondheim**

Oh dear lord in heaven above! Thats a mindboggelig model! Extremly well done sir

**Lutharr101**

love it!

**Zakiriel**

That is a really striking scheme with vibrant red on the black.

**Jade Empire**

Well done that's great work. I've been working on a Vault since day 1 as well. They take a fair bit of time to get right.

**Mywik**

Stunning. Great Work! The overall army scheme is also just plain awesome.

it's quite a boring model to pint by hand, very repetitive. I just didn't fancy airbrushing it though. I feel airbrushed models looked rushed nowadays.

**Kevv6**

Wow, awesome work there, I would never have the patience to paint something like that. Very well done to you sir

**Ratius**

Truely delicious work.
The white orbs are absolutely stunning (the one in the center of the Spyder 0_o ).
The red, black and blue compliment each other so well too - I would not have thought it.

**suspiratus**

Very nice

I like that you chose to do red and not green like I have seen in other people painting. The other models look pretty awesome too

**PrehistoricUFO**

I'd love to grab one of these beasts but there'd be no room in my damn display case for it. Oh well.

Great work!

**Thokt**

Great work! Highest compliments to you sir.

**thesilverback**

OMG, great work. Truly love the paint job, must have taken forever thou and great detailing.

**Ailaros**

I love the redcrons, and that model is very, very nice.

I've got to ask, though, can you post a bigger picture of that tomb spyder for us?

Amazing simply amazing.
