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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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 :)
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!
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.
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 !
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.
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
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
I am starting to like Necrons more and more , and the way you painted these . I love the style . Hhhmmmm tomorrow quick visite to the warhammer store 😂
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
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 !
ooh, I don't have that fluo orange yet. I have the Magenta Model colour and both yellow and green game colour. using a little bit of the green for the flasks on admech characters currently.
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'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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
Great video ! I’m getting back into 40k after a decade of not collecting and this has inspired me to start with some necrons as a way to get better at paining. I know I’m very late to this video, but is there a list of the paints you used in this video so I can try and replicate it ? I am not very familiar with painting so don’t know what to look for. Thanks in advance :)
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
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.
with the metal colour paints, when painting with a brush. would I typically start with the darkest colour first, or lightest please? is the purpose of using these metal paints, to glaze in the darker colours and actually start with my lightest metal, or would I start with the steel colour, then paint in the highlights? (I got steel, dark alluminium and white alluminium to try out on my admech)
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 know this is an old video but I love the orange glow! Do you have any suggestions on how to do the necron blades (such as on the Skorpekh destroyers) to match?
For doing the recessed areas with white to start the OSL have you tried using a white oil wash? I find the lower surface tension and the ability to wipe away should it get the raised area too much much more stress free then trying with white paint.
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.
Really cool looking 11th edition necrons
12th edition just around the corner...

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.

Love your care in each one, and following a process that makes it better than the GW standard imo
This is one of the best Necron painting tutorial on RUclips. Subscribed and checking out your patreon. Thank you.

Vallejo Metal Color deserves a shrine dedicated to it.
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
very true. very true.
Yup. I just wish they had a couple more golds: their alcohol-based range has them all, but I want them in Metal Color!
@@PaladinJenkis buy them all.
Painted my Mephrit kill team following your advise.
Worked very well. Good job. 👍

Ohh man I luv that weathered and rusty rifle... Well done.
Oh, great little tip about adding yellow instead of white to the green to push the saturation and brightness. I'm learning!!
Thanks for the inspiration to finish my current Necrons and do the upcoming box set
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
Looks awesome. Been waiting for this since your sneak peak image last week! Great tutorial
Glad you like it!
Great tutorial mate! If I ever start collecting Necrons, I'll do my best to incorporate some of your ideas into the paintjob!
That flourescent orange effect is absolutely splendid - I need to play a bit with that. Great job!
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
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
nice!
Really useful - thanks for sticking to GW paints. Keep up the good work!

Wow amazing stuff man! I was gonna test the new vallajio colour shifters on my necrons but this has me reconsidering. Love your choice of the orange
Colour shifters? What are those? Cheers.
Wow! This looks so good that i want to start Necrons!! *thumbs up*
Go for it!
I have 3 starter boxes(ones with Triarch Stalker), Forgebane, and 2 of the xmas boxes from 3-4 years ago on my table. Time to get started.
aww yeah
That tried yellow step on the gauss blaster had a great effect! Really enjoyed that orange eye as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love Vallejo metallics! Fantastic job on those tarnished/rust effects!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work! Love the orange glow. Thanks for the effort!
Trovarion predicted 10th edittion
Looks fantastic - i will refer to this for my necrons 👍. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Glad to help!

thank you. I've been looking for a way to do a fiery effect for my necrons
I'm in the process of starting a nod army, I was gonna do the warrior bugs from Starship Troopers, but this grub scheme, I think this wins it
I'm painting my necrons purple and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
You go, girl!!!
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.
Thanks for the knowledge! Love the bone scheme
Awesome paint job and a lot of useful tips! And yes, you just convinced me to buy some extra paints!
Love the look of that Deathmark, going to try it myself
Beautiful matey, great work
Thank you! Cheers!
The purple carapace looks awesome, but so does the bone scheme. Arrrgh!! Decisions, decisions!
Thank you so much for this video, very inspirational and helpful ! Top tier tutorial here

Great tutorial and colour schemes. 👍
Awesome video my dude. Small effort big results 👍👍
Thanks a ton!

You should!
Whoa dude these metal skelly bois look incredible!
Love these necrons. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Awesome stuff! Will definitely be painting my Indomitus Necrons in one of these schemes forsure!!
they look incredible man, damn.
Great video Trovarion!
This is SUCH a good video
Amazing work!
First time watching your videos but will definitely be back!!!
Welcome!!
Amazing stuff, mate!
Thanks a lot!
Wow, thank you. there were a ton of little eye-openers in this video. Thank you.
Now I must visit the store tomorrow :-)
I'm going to use this tutorial but not for necrons, for my upcoming ork army! I want them to be different colours of scrap so this should be fun.
Heresy!
Sounds awesome!
My current paint scheme is a metallic purple and turquoise deal for the majority of the non silver of them
with the metal colour paints, when painting with a brush. would I typically start with the darkest colour first, or lightest please? is the purpose of using these metal paints, to glaze in the darker colours and actually start with my lightest metal, or would I start with the steel colour, then paint in the highlights?

Wow phenomenal work!
I dry brushed bronze over a darkened silver and it came out very similar to your shaded method.
If I want to use an oil paint thinned with mineral spirits then cleaned with mineral spirits should I enamel the acrylic paint first?
I know this is an old video but I love the orange glow! Do you have any suggestions on how to do the necron blades (such as on the Skorpekh destroyers) to match?
just like the green blade here, just use orange
For doing the recessed areas with white to start the OSL have you tried using a white oil wash? I find the lower surface tension and the ability to wipe away should it get the raised area too much much more stress free then trying with white paint.
Im not using oils, but I am aware of it, yeah!
