I have much to learn about photographing soldiers yet, but here are a few pics of Necrons: troopers, lord, and destroyers. As you can see, too, I'm still pretty much a paint-by-numbers painter. I've wasted a number miniatures and a lot of time testing color schemes for all of my armies, though. Once I decided, though, the army grew relatively quickly. I'm assembling more destroyers and some Immortals at the moment; I'm considering deviating from the universal scheme for the Immortals as befits their status in the army (and to quicky distinguish the little buggers on the table top). No doubt any varient scheme will come from examples int he codex as well.

  1. Dude, those pics are great. I like the background and the focus is sweet too. Great detail. The painting looks -- as expected --first rate. I really like the green -- it looks exactly like green translucent plastic. Awesome, dude.

  2. I agree - these look really great. The texture on the metal is fantastic - I would really love a blow by blow of how you got that effect.

  3. I suspect it's just a brown wash over metal paint -- but the weathering is really excellent. Even on the close ups, the lord and the destroyers look like they are covered in a light coat of grime... or maybe the slightly aged misty remains of their foes.

  4. Just . . .? Just . . .? F'n just? Actually, that's probably all it needed to be, but I broke down the process into 23 seperate steps.
