<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "How should i paint my ReaperWraith?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net How should i paint my ReaperWraith? But my question for the noble dakkites reading this is how should i paint them?
i have toyed with many ideas but currently the best seem to be bone (to emphise the whole reaper thing) or sandstone (the highlight the egyptian style the necrons have or finally the depressing boltgun metal look that the necron currently have (it seems blasphemy to ask about necron painting without including the classic).
once its done i will post it on here

Personally, I think that a "glow in the dark" looking necron army would be brutal. Nothing says resurection like glowy green skeletons. glowy green Mechanical skeletons, at that!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/483054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/483054.page GMT How should i paint my ReaperWraith?
Maybe you could have a sandstone color blending into a metallic color on a different part of the model? It would give them a very awesome "metallic chameleon" vibe. Maybe just have the metallics blending up the scythe blade or something.

Though I do think that a glow in the dark green necron army would look awesome, if slightly silly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/483104.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/483104.page GMT Re:How should i paint my ReaperWraith?

how could i do that?


Craft stores usually have some sort of Glow-In-The-Dark paint. Check their "kid's" section.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/483833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/483833.page GMT How should i paint my ReaperWraith? ceramic crons havent ever sold me.
stone or metal for me, though bone sounds interesting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484132.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484132.page GMT How should i paint my ReaperWraith?

I guess just a really pale green fading into a more vibrant one. Make sure to add reflections and highlights on the base and everthing else to make it have that glowing effect.

Not an expert at painting... so maybe try it on a crappy model first]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484615.page GMT Re:How should i paint my ReaperWraith?
Best looking Wraith (Any mini line) I've seen was a PP Pistol Wraith. Some guy painted it up with the barrel materializing (painted true colors) ...and faded it into a spirit green effect (Think Ghost Army for LOTR). It was a terrific effect and made the model look as it was in mid-transition. I would guess this would be doable with an action scythe pose as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484659.page GMT How should i paint my ReaperWraith? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/484930.page GMT How should i paint my ReaperWraith? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/485326.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224964/485326.page GMT How should i paint my ReaperWraith?

Well, be careful as if you symmetrically divide the model it will look like it's cut in half. Try doing an odd amount...like the scythe/arms are true color as the Wraith is becoming solid...while the upper arms/body are still faded into spirit. Something like this;
