@gobert - Thanks gobert. These weren't helped by me remembering them as being in a different box for a couple of months.
@Olthannon - Thanks Olthannon. They're definitely a contrast to the green units I've put out before now.
@Captain Brown - Why, thank you, Cap'n. And thank you for tipping us over onto page 7

I've been meaning to do a Sickly Pallor of Decay (
SPoD) Plaguebearer unit ever since I completed a
SPoD Poxbringer back in 2019, and followed it up with a
SPoD Sloppity Bilepiper last year. There are also
SPoD Nurglings on each base I've painted.
It's a fun variant colour scheme, just so my Daemons aren't a sea of green. I may well add a second unit in this scheme at some stage, as I know I've got more Plaguebearers kicking around somewhere, awaiting build and paint.
I'd've finished this unit sooner, but for two things - one, I was away for a week towards the end of July, and secondly I've been working with a friend of mine on starting a podcast. We've got 4 episodes in the can now (subject to editing), so we're hoping to launch soon. Mainly problem we've found so far, though, is sticking to an intended duration - but I guess that just means they'll make good background for painting sessions
What's up next? Well, I think I'm going to continue with "finishing off
WIP stuff" while I decide what to build next. That means I'm looking at four options - finish the Haemotrope Reactor (2024); work up the two ruins from the 9th edition Command Starter (2022); finish the Thunderer (2022); finish the 5
BA Assault Intercessors &
BA Bladeguard Lieutenant (2023). Not currently sure which.
In terms of building, I've got one more Plasma Generatorium to build; the Generatorum Hub to build; 10 more Necron Warriors to build; and 3 Tomb Blades to build, all as immediate options. Building the third
PG is almost certainly going to happen this time round, as it is a simple build I can do while watching a Twitch stream. I should
probably build my first unit of Tomb Blades, too, as I haven't got any of them in my Necrons yet. Probably the Gauss build for the first three.

Sickly Pallor of Decay Plaguebearers
I should probably go back and add some Ulthuan Grey highlights to various points on the skin at some stage, but these guys are ready for the table at the moment.
Talos Bronze worked well for a metallic paint over a white basecoat, but I wouldn't describe it as a bronze - it looks far more like copper to me. Still, a dash of Agrax and some Nihilakh Oxide got things closer to how I wanted them to look.

27 models painted, and I'm only at 375 points? Damn.
