Hi folks, I finished these Wraiths off today to add to my nascent force of Necrons. The Necrons are angry dead space robots from Games Workshop's 40K universe, although the Wraiths are more like mechanical constructs and were never biological, unlike their masters. These are some of my favourite models in the entire Necron range, so it was probably unwise to paint them so early in the process! Their fiddliness does mean that doing some basic troops is going to seem like a relief though. It's not that they were desperately hard to paint, but the many limbs and underslung weapons took a fair bit of doing. The base metal is Alclad, with their clear colours to shade it, and the copper and metal details are all painted with Citadel bar a few final touches using the Vallejo liquid metal range. Other colours (the carapace and weapons) are all from the Citadel range. The carapace started off as Ionrach Skin, which is very close to IJN grey-green, but I added quite a bit of dirty weathering and then layers of green glazes to increase the saturation. The reds are based around Khorne Red. I think they look quite cool together with the Immortals I did previously, although the Wraiths don't have as much glowing stuff. In particular their eyes are styled after HAL-9000's camera eye, rather than the internal glow that the earlier models had. I also took some pictures on black with a keylight to pick up the metallic a bit. I still don't have a good setup for black-background photos but hopefully it comes across. Cheers, Will
