With only the two characters left to paint, I was very motivated to finish the army this weekend. This scheme is very quick to paint which meant I could fit both in today. First up the Cryptek:
I’d actually painted the cryptothralls a while back, but I wanted to have the Cryptek finished before posting them. This model has a lot of ornamentation (most dominating of which is that cloak), and I settled on painting it all in the brass colour I’ve been scattering throughout the army on emblems and loose wires.
The warlord for the army, a Skorpekh Lord, is up next:
This model is very cool, incredibly imposing, and was pretty fun to paint. Each arm has a different weapon, which adds a lot of variety, and he ended up with every technique I used on the army (glowing weapon, glowing orbs, and power sword), which seems fitting as he leads it.
Finally, here’s a group shot of the army as it stands:

I ran out of space in my usual photography area, so I had to improvise with this photo. I’ll have to figure out a better solution in the future for army shots.
I’m planning at some stage to grow the army up to 2000 points, but not for a little while. I’m a little burned out on painting robots, so I’ll be moving on to another project soon.





Hey Nicholas!
Really love your necron army. So much so I wanna do my army similar. I saw you said you primed black then did airbrush of magnesium metallics then some turquoise contrast and black. I wanted to see if you could dive. A bit deeper into the process. Would be super helpful! Thank you!
