As some of you will have seen across my social media, I’ve painted a few Necron models in the past year! I started off when Indomitus released, and haven’t been able to stop. I posted a guide for how to paint them on social media, but as not everyone uses it, I thought I’d do a more detailed post here too!
Step 1
Spray the models in Retributor Armour.
Step 2
Shade the inner areas and joints (anything that isn’t armour plating) with Magos Purple Contrast.
Step 3
Shade the armour panels Seraphim Sepia. This creates a slightly dull but lovely rich gold colour.
Step 4
Edge highlight the armour panels with Stormhost Silver. I mix a little Water+ from Instar into the silver to allow for a smoother highlight and easier application.
Step 5
Shade all the weapons and cables with Black Templar Contrast.
Step 6
Basecoat all the Gauss and glow areas with Corax White. As with the highlight, I mix Water+ into this to allow for the smoothest application.
Step 7
Shade all the white areas with Talassar Blue.
Step 8
Base it, and you’re done!
DONE! Super simple and quick and easy! You can even take these steps and just change the colours! the_sith_panda did exactly that to create her Necron scheme! Join me next week for more Hobby How To series! Hobby hobbying!
