I won’t pick them up til Xmas, but in the meantime I wanted to mess about with some paint schemes etc and thus picked up a catacomb barge and some second hand crons from my FLGS. I wanted the scheme to be bright and bold and thus put some old metallic sprays from a DIY project to good use - chrome for the rank and file, gold for the nobility. I decided to use turquoise to mark out the dynasty and picked up some resin bases from the excellent evil mushroom games (google them – highly recommended!) to go with them. The results are below:
My main problem now is deciding on a scheme for the gauss weapons. The four possibilities are below and I would really appreciate some comments about them i.e what people prefer.
The first one is just a blue colour scheme which I initially liked but then decided wasn’t very necron-like.
This one is just the main scheme with the regular rods in place – I’m not sure whether or not to change the main gun housing colour (black?) also.
This is a mock up of the flayer style seen in the new ghost ark kit – I had planned to either acquire some spare ghost ark flayer off ebay or GS cast some in order to make things more uniform in the army.
Lastly, a simple coloured piece of wire in order to represent the flayers as they are in the Dawn of War PC game, a simple stream of energy that dissipates when the warrior is deactivated.
