So I've been having lots of fun with a Necron Vehicle + MW Spam List on TTS, and I'm now trying to make that list a reality.
Since the Transcendent C'tan model is pretty bad, alternatives must be found.

Enter Lady Olynder
Spoiler:






I'm quite happy how it turned out, but now I'm a bit stuck on the paint scheme. I'm certain that I want the basing to be a dark or stormy sea (the rest of my army will be in the desert, but hey, Immune to Natural Law is a rule, not a suggestion).

The rest of my army will be going for the following scheme. I'd sort of like to at least have matching elements, but that's not totally necessary (again, c'tan).

Thoughts so far: The hair could look good in an orange OSL effect. I don't want to go straight ghostly for the robes. For my Void Dragon I was planning to do a galaxy pattern, which might also work for her robes/tendrils.

Any ideas?

I like the idea of orange, since it matches the glow effect on the Necrons. I wonder if there's a way to get an almost holographic kind of effect with the orange.

Something like this.

Or maybe a plasma glow like the sun's corona?

I agree with orange, or maybe purple, as those are your glowy / energy colors.

Your Army’s “energy” is orange so that’s your go-to primary colour however the model lends itself to darkening on the edges - as if the energy was disbursing. A blend therefore of a bright, luminous orange that then fades to black at the tips. Brightest at the body. The top of the rock, having an orange colour from the light produced by the C’Tan.
