Hi folks,
I finished my first squad of Necrons and found enough light this afternoon to get them photographed properly:
These are Immortals, heavy infantry from an ancient race of Angry Dead Robots from the Warhammer universe. They're painted with Alclad for the metallic, and Citadel for most other things. I also experimented with Schminke acrylic ink for the edges, which is a bit smoother than the Citadel white.
The bases have chopped up Games Workshop sprues (which are trapezoidal) tessellated to look a bit like a cut-price Giant's Causeway. The backstory for the 40K universe currently has the Necrons fighting the Adeptus Mechanicus for possession of blackstone (magic anti-chaos rocks) and I wanted the bases to reflect that a little. I'm still wondering if they need plants as well.
They're a bit rough in places as you can see from the rear view, but I reckon they're not bad for the time invested (roughly a week of evenings plus change).
I'm currently working on some wraiths, which are like Angry Space Prawn Snakes. I'm going to use the same scheme but a bit more detailed.
Cheers,
Will
