I forgot to say: If you don't want to use the Vallejo Metallics, you can just use Leadbelcher by brush, or use the Leadbelcher spray primer. You will get great results too. I just happen to have the Vallejo Metallics, but any metallics that you have and that you like/are used to are fine. If you start from zero, you might as well get the Vallejo Metallics, since they are the easiest and most convinient to use in my opinion (Because while you can thin them down to a glaze consistency, they still cover in one pass with a smooth finish, when used purely. So you get the best of two worlds in one paint).
Salted Llama ehh I think GW’s metallics in general are some of the worst on the market. You can actually see the pigments. Far worse than any of the Vallejo ranges, scale 75, P3 etc.
love how concise and to the point this video is, you did a really efficient job at giving tips and i feel like i learned a ton despite the shorter video
I wasn't sure about the new default colour scheme for Necrons but this video sold me on it. Might even touch up on my old Sautekh troops to make them uniform with the new ones. Great job, amazing paintjob.
These are amongst the best-painted Necrons I've ever seen! I'm currently starting to build a force, and I think I'll combine your approach with some Vallejo Shifters. Thanks for all that inspiration!
I *might* copy the method for the blade for my army since it's easy and quick, and looks just awesome, and i'm pleased that i'm using a similar technique for glow effects :)
For people needing a paint list, I think i got most of the paints used Black primer Gw Reikland fleshshade Gw Agrax Earthshade Gw nuln oil Gw Mournfang brown Gw grey (mechanicus standard grey?) Gw blue (Cantor blue?) Gw ushabti bone/flayed one flesh Gw incubi darkness Gw Rhinox hide Gw Skrag brown Gw druchii violet Gw screaming skull? Gw white scar? Gw Warp lightning Gw yreil yellow Gw mephiston red Vmc White aluminium Vmc dark aluminium Vm florescent orange
WOW! straight off the bat. Reikland fleshshade on metal.... thanks for the idea. Gonna have to try it. Fist time i seen that colour done this way cosidering i've gone the long arsed way with golds and bronzes etc for years.
I really loved the glow of the green blade and the orange glows. I am going to try an Aethermatic Blue on a test model and the way you painted the Warp Lightning is very inspiring.
This is just amazing, I mean nothing new, all simple but very effective! I very much liked purple metal and how it went so well with brown or rusted metal. The glow effect is just pure joy. Thank you.
This is just fantastic, I’m a big fan of the shades over metallics. I was thinking of a scheme for my chaos army and I think I may use this. Some flesh tones may look like a good contrast to the metallic armor.
WASHES: confirmed to be the best revolution we had in miniature painting! Thanks for sharing! Truly inspirational, it reminds me of that "Blancheitsu" style of painting
necrons looking mint, glad your getting the views you deserve ! one of the best youtube painter channels going ! dont get down by lack of views, keep at it ! talent and perseverance without doubt always pays off !
Really enjoyed this... and so going to watch this when I get my Necrons.. I wasn't even bothered about Necrons.. but the new stuff looks sooo cool... makes a refreshing change to watch something else get painted other than marines... wooooooo hooo
I'm using Leadblecher/Runelord Brass for my bases, but I'm using Berserker Blood for Shade on the Runelord brass. It makes this Copperish Red. Kinda reminds me of the Orb things from Jak & Daxter
I like your makeshift holder. I made one which spins by just adding bluetack to the top of a empty vape bottle. the child lock prevents it spinning off when using. it really does make life easier not holding the model. get much better angles and coverage. also make fine highlights much easier.
This video just reconciliation me with the idea of necrons without their old green transparent tubs. The way youve painted the green glow with circle in black and the recess in green looks so, SO much better than the way GW is doing it with black recess and green circles! Thanks A LOT!
I've been hoping for a video like this, I'm really interested in the new starter box. Ultramarines will be my main force, but I quite like the look of a necron backup army.
Love your vids a lot! Especially since I feel like I can translate what you show on one model to different models which really helpful and awesome ! Thanks a bunch for your dedication !
I painted my models in the paint scheme of the Maynarkh dynasty from the imperial armour 12: Fall of Orpheus. I painted them very similar, and never found any other who painted them like that. Thanks GW my very unique looking Maynarkh army now looks like every other Necron army.
I think I got the list down Black primer Gw Reikland fleshshade Gw Agrax Earthshade Gw nuln oil Gw Mournfang brown Gw grey (mechanicus standard grey?) Gw blue (Cantor blue?) Gw ushabti bone/flayed one flesh Gw incubi darkness Gw Rhinox hide Gw Skrag brown Gw druchii violet Gw screaming skull(?) Gw white scar(?) Gw Warp lightning Gw yreil yellow Gw mephiston red Vmc White aluminium Vmc dark aluminium Vm florescent orange
And adding flourescent orange (and probably blue) to next FLGS trip shopping list along with plan to acquire Vallejo metallics from local scale model store when current stock of GW Leadbelcher and AP Gun Metal run out
Liked, subscribed, ring the bell, favorite the video. can't believe your channel isn't bigger. thanks a lot for this video man, really looking forward to trying it out.
I love how you painted these and I can't wait to try some of the techniques from the video on my own necron legion! I just had one question, do you thin the airbrush paints if you use them with a brush? I never used airbrush paints with a brush before. (also, did you use the steel metallic for the base metallic?)
Used dark aluminium for the base! I dont thin them when i apply a base with a brush, they are thin enough for that out of the bottle. but I thin them with water for the glaze type highlights.
I wanted to do some with sandstone on them, but I can not bring myself to cover the new sculpts with typhus corrosion. it does look very good though, I seen some Ruberic done like this, as if they had been inactive for millennia, and had become encrusted in sandstone. I feel this would work very well for a newly emerged dynasty,
@@darkecerantis9799 i dont know...grabbed a random pot. Like i said in the video: the basecolor isnt what makes the effect. The washes do. Just use flayed one flesh, np.
Loved this! I want to start messing around with the base white then gradient with the washes. I did similar with my deamonettes. Based then with a dark grey and then just a full wash with a purple which made painting 40 - 50 a much easier job.
When I bought my Indomitus Box, I sold my Necron Boys. When I saw that Video, I bought a Set of Indomitus Necrons. And I made a buck with it: 25€ profit. 0:D Can't wait to paint them!
If you haven't already can you make a video on how to decide what colors to use. I look a my models and don't know where to get started. I have a army painters set and the colors are great but don't know what goes together and what a good contrast would be
used some diamond thread plates and carved holes into them with various sized drills, then melted them in some parts. applied real earth over it and covered it partly, then added flourescent orange pigments on top and then martian earth pigment by AK interactive.
Cool! I started painting mine in a gw style scheme too, but i used leadbelcher-brass scorpion 1:1 for the armourl, and used a few washes to get the gradient and speckling
Wish I could paint like this. Just don't have the patience or skill for it. Thought about getting into Warhammer recently but I'm never gonna get into it cause I can't paint minis. I would hate them every time I played. I know its a stupid reason and most people that play WH are like "that doesn't matter at all" but I would be so disgusted and embarrassed to show them I'd just not play. Tried for years to paint DnD minis all thru college but always hated how they looked and would end up giving them away so I wouldn't have to look at them in disgust. Besides can't afford to get into another hobby right now anyways :) (yes I am making excuses damn it LOL) But I still enjoy seeing people that are really good at this hobby painting these crazy good looking minis.
This guys from the future, posting about 10th edition three years ago. I'm on to your time travel shenanigans!
I literally came to this video to point out how he said “10th edition” lol. These time travelers are real.

The metal color range are the best metallics out there. LeadBelcher is trash
@@johnfought7541 It certainly isn't trash; there are just metals better for this type of application.
Salted Llama ehh I think GW’s metallics in general are some of the worst on the market. You can actually see the pigments. Far worse than any of the Vallejo ranges, scale 75, P3 etc.
Would you use the leadbelcher as a primer or would you first prime it with chaos black?
@@jonathannoble7657 doesnt matter!
This painting tutorial is blowing my mind, I would never have thought of doing most of these things.
Right?? Totally blown away.

Are they that good? I've always looked at them but never bought it. Maybe I should give it a try.
@@PaladinJenkis They really are that good and should defiantly give them a shot

Yup. I just wish they had a couple more golds: their alcohol-based range has them all, but I want them in Metal Color!

First Necron army I ever painted was a metallic purple. Whenever folks asked why, "HEAVY METAL!"
Oh dear god...
@@zogwort1522 you sound like a fun person to play with
I saw a guy with sandstone necrons. I might make some red sandstone ones.
This is class. Thank you for taking the time to show us these techniques.
I know Ive wanted to do necrons for a while but this videos gave me ideas on how I should experiment with the paint scheme overall great vid
Ohh man I luv that weathered and rusty rifle... Well done.
Painted my Mephrit kill team following your advise.
Worked very well. Good job. 👍

Great tutorial mate! If I ever start collecting Necrons, I'll do my best to incorporate some of your ideas into the paintjob!
Oh, great little tip about adding yellow instead of white to the green to push the saturation and brightness. I'm learning!!

Glad you like it!
Really useful - thanks for sticking to GW paints. Keep up the good work!
That flourescent orange effect is absolutely splendid - I need to play a bit with that. Great job!

Thank you so much for sharing. Loved this video and you letting your humor shine through a bit. Thanks again and stay safe!
Wow! This looks so good that i want to start Necrons!! *thumbs up*
Go for it!

I never thought to use washes for things other than destroying my mini with Nuln Oil. Just starting with a basic metallic then using wash is so cool!
That tried yellow step on the gauss blaster had a great effect! Really enjoyed that orange eye as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
The purple carapace looks awesome, but so does the bone scheme. Arrrgh!! Decisions, decisions!
Love the look of that Deathmark, going to try it myself
Looks fantastic - i will refer to this for my necrons 👍. Thanks for the great tutorial.
