I've made progress on two ghost arks, one annihilation barge, and a doomsday ark. Whereas I can paint a rhino in no time at all, I am finding the necron vehicles really tedious. They are great kits, but having to paint 20 necron warriors just to dress the models is a lot of work. I plan to spray a diluted black wash over all of the models at the end of painting and have practiced on a few of wounded models missing from the two arks. I think weathering powders are going to look really good over the black vehicles. I was thinking of weathering the whole vehicle to make it look like these vehicles were coming out of a sand storm. I am really tempted to add rust to the vehicles because it would be a nice way to get orange into the color scheme.
So is this the start of a playable force?
Looking good!
ReplyDeleteThe weathering powders work good on the vehicles because of all the recesses :)

good god, man, you are a relentless machine...guess you are getting immersed in your subject.
ReplyDeleteI love this colour scheme! Gorgeous looking army.
ReplyDeleteI think the weathering powders will be a good idea. The trouble with models that are mostly black is that they never look quite finished (it always looks like you've cut corners, no matter how much effort was involved) - the weathering powders will compensate for that and add some depth and detail to the pieces.
ReplyDeleteThose are looking really good. Such smooth coats from the airbrushing, I'm really impressed. Can't wait to see what they look like with some shading and weathering, will start to look really nice.
ReplyDeleteYour Necrons are very nice. I LOVE the basing on the scarabs.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing for the base black before the weathering powder? I'm looking for a way to avoid lining these huge vehicles. Thanks!
ReplyDeletewow! it'z great! i like it!
