Hi all
Introduction and about me:
Recently I was online shopping and I found a secondhand lot of necrons for a very good price. 30 Australian dollars got me 24 warriors, a destroyer lord, 5 scarab swarms, a nightbringer shard, a monolith and a few spare lord upgrades. I supplemented this with another more expensive lot of 10 warriors, a ghost ark and a lord on foot, which left me with a (relatively) sizeable amount of models for a very good price.
I spent the next couple of days trying to figure out what to strip the models with. I tried the isopropyl I had sitting around, but it was a very low concentration, so that didn't work for stripping the minis, and every store in my city is out of any kind of alcohol I can use to strip mins, so I moved on to dettol. Not only was it expensive, it made the paint weird and gunky after I rinsed them, and they smelled like dettol forever. Eventually, I tried using simple green, which I didn't know we had in Australia. It took a while to strip them, but it worked in the end.
I settled on a colour scheme, which was the very nice looking scheme by Midwinter Minis, and painted up my first few 'crons.
Here are the first 10:
And here is the first 15 and the lord, who I didn't paint insanely well. He's just a metal lord with some of the destroyer lord arms.
Next up is another 5 warriors and the 5 bases of scarabs, and then I have to decide whether I want a ghost ark or doomsday ark. I'm leaning towards ghost ark so I can repair my main blob of warriors, but as of yet I'm undecided.
Thanks for reading
