  • Many of you have told me how much you love the Necrons that I did for my recent commission. Being a Space Marine player, it was quite difficult for me to figure out the right color scheme but with some trial and error, I think I got it right! I hope this tutorial helps you with painting your Necron army and if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comment section.

    Im brand new to WH and painting, ive searched up thousands of tutorials on how to paint my necrons. One thing I've learned is that, yes there are universal tips ans tricks you can use, ultimately you can paint them how YOU want to paint them, so long as you enjoy what you do. Most of all, dont compare yourself. Instead, inspire yourself.

    I've always loved the aesthetics of Necrons, and that weapon glow came out beautifully! Nothing quite like Immortal Egyptian Space Terminators marching with Neon Glowsticks to strike fear into the enemy!

      That green on silver glow is just so sexy 😚
      Painting necrons goes against my imperial beliefs but it’s so good

    Fantastic tutorial I’ve been looking for something to get me started. I just bought the elite edition this year because of all the hype surrounding the Warhammer supposed movie or TV series so I figured I’d delve into this since I’ve always been a D&D and tabletop guy This will be new to me and I’m very excited and this has to be one of the most detailed. Hey, this is how you kinda do it videos love it even though I’m two years late better late than never, and you made a subscriber out of me.

    Thank you for this awesome video! Bought my first necon set and started painting guided by this video. For now, it looks pretty damn cool, if I say so myself haha. The only thing I struggle with is the edge highlighting. Do you have any tips or tricks on that topic?

    • @thedrypaintpot
      @thedrypaintpot  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That’s exactly why I make these videos, so happy to hear it’s helped! As for edge highlight, get a brush with a nice fine tip. I get the best results by using brushes that aren’t too small, I end up edge highlighting with my later brushes. Make sure there’s not too much paint on your brush and carefully run the edge of the brush along the edges you’re highlighting. Whenever I get time to make a new video, I’ll demonstrate

    A bit late viewing this clip, but, I'd suggest putting in two or three stainless steel ball bearings, which would act as an agitator for all one's paints. No waste residue on a 'stiring stick'?

      Try going back over some raised areas with pure base color but don’t go overboard and cover the places you want dark. Also, water down the shade
      Hope it helps!
