Hey guys! I recently got back into warhammer, a week ago, picked up the Necron getting started bundle and started painting away!
These are the ones I have done so far, bases and painted in a blue scheme :

Very well nice start. I really like your blues. Good job.

They look really cool, nice to see blue weapons over the standard neon green. Only comment would be they could maybe use a little depth on the metal areas.

Depth as in nuln oil? I did a coat of that and then highlighted overtop, what do you recommend? Always open on ways I can potentially improve

Thumbs-up on the blues! Nice different color scheme there. Thanks for sharing. (I use a violet wash on metals, but I mostly use bronzes and golds. It adds a lot of depth in them but not sure its the right color for your necrons)

I never forget the Dakka unit scale is binary: Units are either OP or Garbage. |

I would say so. Thing is it could make your minis darker. I like your bright look.

Nice and tidy, maybe try painting the gold parts a more coppery shade next time in order to really contrast with that blue.
Also, please clean up the rims of those scarab bases.
