1) Brown/Bleached Bone
2) White/Flat Black
3) Flat Black/Silver (or Gold)-a la Black Legion
4) Light Grey (like Codex Grey)
5) Bronze /Brass with some Verdigris (for Immortals maybe)

So, what are your opinions on 'Crons colours? Do you like any of these suggestions? Do you have something better?

Thanks in advance...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232016.page GMT Unusual Necron Colour schemes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232035.page GMT Unusual Necron Colour schemes
I went with a boltgun metal base with a dip on my warriors simply for the ease and speed of getting them done. With 10-12 warriors per squad and needing at least 2 squads I wanted something very fast and easy. Other units with fewer numbers will get more work. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232151.page GMT Unusual Necron Colour schemes

I thought I could do something similar , but with Bleached Bone, followed by matt varnish . I've been dipping Orks..why not 'Crons??

From there I put green ink on the rune, on the spine (front and back), where the neck "pistons" are, and a tiny bit on some of the joints. Then I drybrushed a little chainmail on the mid part of the spine and a stroke over the pistons and joints so that the green looks like it is glowing from underneath. From there, my most used technique to make the army look somewhat coherent is to wash sepia over many of the pieces, avoiding the joints. It takes two ore three wahes, but it ends up looking like a very light gold. Next, I take all the metallics and paint different pieces on each warrior, avoiding joints and "bones." So, one may have the wash on the chest, a silver and tin arm, a chainmail and bronze leg and a mithril face, and, underneath it all, a greenish glow. I don't use gold, as that is used to distinguish my lords.
It sounds really laborious, but it isn't really, especially if you take it a color at a time and just kind of pick and choose. You can use devlin mud to add some "age" to different parts as well. You could also add "ceramic" parts, but I think that looks a little too mish-mash.

You could do other environmental effects like this. One of the DoW books (I know not cannon) had Necrons rising up out of lava so you could paint apart of them as if the metal is really hot. Or you could do something as if the world they where entombed on is a swamp world and so they have like mold and waterlines. Maybe just think about differant environment effects you could do.

Tell us how you really feal

Actually all metals are subject to corrosion (many of which are similar to the effects and appearance of rust) although iron and its alloys are the only metals where such corrosion is called rust.

Also I've seen nothing partaining to the conditions in which Necrons are stored. If you have I'd love to see it because I'm always looking for new fluff sources? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2232975.page GMT Unusual Necron Colour schemes I don't think it is iron, nor does it corrode in any way. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2233014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2233014.page GMT Unusual Necron Colour schemes

I don't think it is iron, nor does it corrode in any way.

I would tend to agree. Also note...they are kept in stasis tombs, not buried in the bare dirt. It would be safe to say that these stasis tombs maintain a perfect atmosphere to keep any sort of corrosion from taking place. I would also figure if corrosion did happen to any notable degree that it would trip the auto repair system and be removed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2233038.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333899/2233038.page GMT Unusual Necron Colour schemes

This is the only picture I have, and it's of the original paint tester I just slopped stuff on as a proof of concept. So please ignore the gross thickness of the paint and overall rough painting.

In the store I used to work at we painted the stores crons Dark angels/Jadegreen mix /boltgun don't have pics, I always liked that sheme.
A friend of my painted his crons Darkblue, midnight blue I believe, with brasen brass.

I always liked White Necrons so ill go for option 2 White/flat Black
