WOW! I'm not that much into Necrons, but these models look superb! I wish I could blend like you did...

Are they all painted or did you use an airbrush, too?

The orange is very, very nice. I'll chime in with insaniak and agree that, as I look at it more, I feel like the army lacks some contrast to make the army shots look less like a mass of orange.

I appreciate all your comments guys, they push me to try and do better every time!
In response to your comment, that's why on my more recent models I've been using more and more blue, I find it compliments the overall scheme without taking too much away.

And I love the fact you have squeezed a little comedy out of your army. Not only is the colour scheme fantastic - now you've added the blue into things like capes - but you have added little flashes of inspiration to add spice to the army.

Love the guy who's snapped his weapon in half and the one who's broken his tip off even more than the siamese twin.

Not so sure that Thor works, and I think that the Captain America shield is just out of place. I would have thought that with the obvious talent you have, it wouldn't have taken much to 'Necrontyr' the idea and had a Necron symbol there for a Necron version of the Avengers.

Captain America is the biggest eye catcher when people look at the troops. At a glance, on the table top, it's hard to pick up the 'little' things I've done, but he's easily the most spotted guy, no matter where he goes

Great choice of colour. The orange army are incredible

Loving ur necrons, that paint scheme is amazing

Wow, very very interesting.
I know little about paint techniques but were you going for the sort of cell shaded look Nard has with his Nids?
Looks good either way.

It's a comic style look, high contrast tends to pop really well on the tabletop.
Mostly the red to orange transition is meant to show molten lava.
I've been improving on the technique as I've learned to apply it more quickly and effectively. Now I essentially paint the model a colour, then the next, but instead of trying to brush the next colour to create a smooth transition, I just mix the two and draw a thin line between them. I've used this technique on the stalker, Anrakyr, Imotekh and the flyers, and they easily have the best transition (especially in large flat areas..

except for the weapons it really dose look like they walked out of the magma!

Yeah fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your view), the armoury weapons are not living metal and thus were not altered to magma form. This is why ceramic weapons are grey and phase altering weapons are blue.

Mother of god, those are some of the best necrons I have seen. I would love to face an army like that.

was my reaction. Very well done sir. Excellent painting . and the hero inspirations are just great. Keep going my man.

And now, something different, I present to you, Zoltan, the scarab rider, the deadliest overlord of the Necrons!

Enjoy








And some 'cinematic' shots:

Two wide army shots. Tomb blades are still being modelled.

Argh. The colours just burnt out my monitor
Great to see a unique style of painting. I see you have gone with blue on your later craft. Definitely looks better as it breaks up the shapes more and you can see what is going on.
Cheers Vim

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy seeing the pictures for the army.

Wow your necrons are great!

I like to see mixed universes I myself did this =

I Iron manned my entire Army and made an Avenger Royal court. Yet here with you, your style of army, your entire look is so cool and awesome on itself, well you get my point probably ;D

Still you haven't touched the superheroes that much, which balances it I like that!

Great army, really, nice blending, for the bases, go for something normal, leave the comic idea a bit maybe. They are Magma crons, give them scorched and dead bases, It' will live them up, the purple, honestly, it kinda gaks on your army :p it's so cool, and the purple bases kill it a bit, no matter what your goal is!

Hope my comment is helpful and know you have a fan of your superb painting skill here!

Fantastic, not only is the army amazing looking, but the composition shows you understand your codex!

This has been a long time, coming, I have finally updated the bases to fully on black, thanks for those who pointed out the purple being "out of place", I'm very glad I listened, because now they look awesome!

Enjoy

I love it nice to see how they have changed and IMHO got alot better

The bases look so much better now! way to go! now your army can indeed be called, AWESOME

Thats pretty impressive... nice job!

Man, these look awesome! I love the colour scheme.

Beautifully done! I love the unique look and all the painting looks super smooth.

And they tried to tell me acid was out of style. lol

Awesome paint on those 'crons.

I just went through the entire thread. In-freak'n-credible!!! Love it. Merging, original concept, unique, memorable, polished all at once. Well done!

These are truly spectacular!

Nice, very original.

Wow that is stunning. It looks great on the simple models and even better on the more complex miniatures.
