Worked alongside the mighty Matt Ward back in the day and with his knowledge and loveliness he just let me unleash myself on the kits and low and behold the Nihilakh dynasty was born.
We have a few topics to get through, I’d either cover it by how a conversation goes or possibly talking through how new ideas/concepts and armies are made for books and imagery could be a topic, which will include this.
@@thepaintingphaseso I suppose I have you and Matt to thank for the modern Necrons! LoL. I know Matt gets a lot of crud, but I couldn’t have been more thankful as I think, personally, the Necrons are the most interesting race in all of 40K.
I really like the "three different levels of done" approach in these videos. It is a good reminder to me that there is actually a "good enough" level that I might be happy with that doesn't involve turning every model into a display case item. It also allows me to plan things in such a way that everything can reach a level of done before trying to move some or all of them to the next level of done. In this way if I'm stopped by life for a bit I don't have slops of half done trash but completed models ready for the next level of awesome. "Every model must be fit for display" has insidiously crept into my painting over the past few years and has led me to doing a whole bunch less painting than I used to do because it doesn't sound fun or it sounds cool but I'm just not in a good place to invest that kind of energy and time into a model, right now. These videos are helping me push back on that a little bit. If someone with the mad skills of Peachy thinks this level of done is just fine then who am I to suggest otherwise? Helps me a ton on the psychology side of this hobby. Thanks for that.
Thanks, It does feel overwhelming seeing all the super highend paint jobs, but as an army painter at heart it’s the spectacle of a collection not the individual, unless of course you want to do that, which is fine. But yep never let anyone tell what’s the correct level of painting, only you should decide that.
Peach invented the Nihilakh Dynasty?! This isn't just a tutorial then. This is a masterclass straight from the source! I love those Army Painter drybrushes you used. They got so many uses. Keep the paint a bit wetter and you can do a great stippling technique to get really quick vehicles.
This is EXACTLY the painting guide I have been looking for to show my son. He's 16 and just getting into the hobby but has no idea how to build a scheme. Three steps 'levels' makes painting a whole army seem manageable to him and lays out a way to build up a finished army. Phanominal
So…what’s the difference between Striking Scorpion green Contrast and Tesseract Glow Technical? They look identical to me in this video, and both seem like liquid highlighter pigment. Anyone?
@@magnusmillerwilson for me scorpion is better in application. With tesseract glow, shake the bottle longer is important and we have not the same result ( this green fluorescent). With scorpion contrast yes, to me. And we not need to shake the paint
@@magnusmillerwilsonI don’t like Tesseract Glow personally, it’s way too yellow in my opinion. I use Fluo Green from Vallejo which is a really vibrant green without that ugly yellow shade.
Wow, they turned out great! Excellent painting, filming, and hosting! Thank you Peachy for blessing us with the Nihilakh dynasty. I've been using your scheme for years now ever since I saw them in the 5th ed codex :)))
This was a great watch, that's so cool learning Peachy maid the Nihilakh dynasty. Necrons feel a little intimidating because metallics always feel a bit thick to use but honestly this make it feel much more manageable :)
I love the fact that you're actually showing the mishaps as you go, even the part where the first layer looks like it's going to go wrong. A lot of the time it looks like people on TH-cam get it right first time, or you don't see the corrections. It's nice to know what a model should look like during the intermediary steps.
Yeah I do think that’s a really important part of painting, it’s okay to fluff and make mistakes, and showing how to not let it bother you, I think it is super invaluable to any hobbyist
Just a shoutout to how you guys present your videos. I love how you actually show some painting and don't skip to the end. Also I really enjoy the music and little extra bits like when you popped the leader model off his cape.
Oh my god it feels so great to be able to comment under a Peachy painting video. Thanks so much for the video. I'm currently assembling a whole host of Nihilakh Necrons so this video is, very very welcome :)
I love how you show warts and all in your painting guilds m8ty, just recently found this channel and you have become my first to watch so well done to you guys on the quality of the channel, Best Regards Russ
Thanks Russ, appreciate the comment. warts and all in our opinion is all part of the painting process and should be shown. Otherwise it just magic juju.
The mystic juju as GW shows us is no errors ever and spoils what the girls and boys do in their painting guides so I stopped watching them which is sad as they would be very good if we saw most of the process they use sadly Duncan has kept the same format I love his work but not the process but yours shows me that I am not a bad painter and we all make little errors that can be fixed which makes the shows you do REAL and I with the rest of the audience can relate and understand, bugger I think I am writing a love letter to you Peachy. 🖖👍
😂 well we all appreciate a good love letter, but it’s reassuring to know doing this format has such positive impacts on the viewers. So thanks Russ for the message ❤
As a person who only really remembers the first couple of articles on Necrons in WD, when you're listing the dynasties it's like your making words up as you go along :D I love the look of the basic guys, but I also like that you made it so you do them and then you can customise them afterwards.
This video helped me so much! Was unsure what wash to use for the blue and gold, and agrax + rehighlighting is perfect! And I feel vindicated for preferring striking scorpion green over tesseract glow
Great guide. I’d suggest trying quietude though. It’s more than just quelling that regenerates your toughness. Even battle meditation and any subtle changes to your peril increase toughness. It works insanely well with Trauma. I’d suggest giving it a shot!
After a 10 year break from wargaming due to ageing eyesight , I have a acquired magnifier specs that allow me to see details again, I am of course recollecting Necrons and this video has helped reconnect with the themes and techniques for painting again, thanks a lot
WHERE. IS. THE. CREATOR.? He's the super-talented guy holding you with one hand and a paint brush in the other hand. Another great tutorial video! Got some Necrons from the 9th edition beginners box that comes with the Assault Intercessors. I may very well give this scheme a go!
That Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl white goes on nice aye peachy! Wheres white scar 😉 awesome video as always from an awesome due and his awesome pals! Keep it up guys love it love it!!! So peachy, slapchop/contrast orks/tyranids 🤷🏻♂️ just saying 😉 xxx
Not gonna lie, I lost it when the necron fell off mid dry brush. That is truly the most real, painting/warhammer model work job moment I've ever seen in a tutorial video lol.
Brutal! gracias por el tutorial, sería interesante reproducir el esquema de la dinastía Tsarakura que aparece en la caja, ya que en el tutorial de Citadel, me da la impresión que se usa otro esquema para el exoesqueleto. Gracias por tus videos, gran trabajo!
Oh look its Metal Mickey's dragged themselves out of the ground to fight off the hordes of whatever are trying to steal what they claim to be theirs by rites of passage. Cheers Peachy.
Yeah, like @The Painting Phase said, "thanks Tony". As an American I had no clue what Peachy was was talking about there or what it could possibly mean. I mean, I could tell it was supposed to be a joke, a Dad Joke, at that, but I was very puzzled about what it the joke was. But your words shed the light I needed and then I was finally able to laugh as it was meant to be all along. You did me a solid ... much appreciated 🙃
hi all , i have a question i use speed paint and other color army painter + GW color , speed paint eat GW color is impossible paint layer and X color GW
Just a little suggestion/request, can put on description or inside first comments all the color and primer used ? As beginner have to go and buy so need to pause and write down all color used XD
For this vid I mostly used an army painter character brush, their regiment and small drybrush. We were given a set and honestly I was impressed. I think the character brush is my new favourite, hold a lot of paint and has a very good point to it too. Cheers Peachy
I'm curious - why do you use the Striking Scorpion Green over Tesseract Glow? Obviously the latter was made with Necrons in mind, but is it just the separation of the paint that makes the former more attractive?
Well as I’m getting more expose to brushes etc, of all the brushes I’ve been using I’ve become a big fan of the army painter ones and a firm favourite is their Character brush, the regiment one is pretty good too. And citadels small layer is a top choice. With these you can layer, basecoat and wash with them and they will last a good long time. Most of the time I use only theee brushes when painting. a small brush like the army painter character, a medium like their regiment and then a drybrush.
@@thepaintingphase I really like AP's Regiment, it can take a lot of punishment, and the drybrushes work great... but the small layer by Citadel is a staple for me

Excellent news, tbh I’m looking at magnifying glasses nowadays, starting to feel the strain on my sight
Those Necrons look outstanding! Nihilakh is definitely my favourite kind of Necron dynasty now!
The bestest of Dynasty’s 👍👍👍

He's the super-talented guy holding you with one hand and a paint brush in the other hand.

Great vid and love the guest appearance of the most essential painting tool - Milk choc flapjacks
Exactly the colors I wanted to paint my team! Thanks 🙏🏻
Awesome! Glad to have helped - Peachy
Good ol' Krispekh himself!
Hahaha! YES! I loved how Matt Ward snook that name into a White Dwarf article, love that guy ❤
I loved this so much
Man they weren't lying. That Titanium White can Bold.
And I know slot about bald….I mean bold
Great video guys! Definitely going to be using that glow effect on the radium guns for my admech
Ooh show us on our social accounts if you do 😍👍
8:56 wow that is some neat gold line!
Just practice is all, and holding your breath 😂
Great video! Channel has a cool flavor about it. Good vibes.
Thanks Mark, glad your enjoying the content 😍👍
You guys have an amazing channel. I am really enjoying your content.
Thank you, well we’re all loving producing it, so we’re glad your enjoying it too 😍😂
Great video. Didn't realize you made the color scheme, that's really cool.
Nice Schecter Elite in the background! :)
Indeed it is.
Guess I'm starting necrons now lol, awesome guides guys 👌
Awesome!!! Love to see what you paint.
That Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl white goes on nice aye peachy! Wheres white scar 😉 awesome video as always from an awesome due and his awesome pals! Keep it up guys love it love it!!!
So peachy, slapchop/contrast orks/tyranids 🤷🏻♂️ just saying 😉 xxx
We’ll never say never 😆👍
Peachy is a legend. Never wanted to play necrons until I saw this
🤘🤘🤘 FANKS!!!!
Well I was thinking which army for 10th and Necrons it is! Great tutorial.
Best part was when that cryptek fell apart
Hahaha! Yeah wasn’t expecting that or Pat to keep it in lol
Never change Peachy. The opening was gold!
Hahaha! Thanks I have so many dad jokes
Amazing!
I didn't know Johnny Sin can paint miniatures.😅
😂 Multi talented boy.
I'd love to see yalk paint them in the hirotek circle scheme I haven't seem anyone paint that!
Hi team! Where was the list of paints? Also, Peachie thank you! Can you name the tuffs you used from AP? Thanks 😊
As an ultramarines fan you broke my heart right now but still impossible to not give this vid a like.
😂😂😂 I am sorry, ultramarines are actually fab
@@thepaintingphase I don't believe you but I'll give you a pass!
9:59 The blade technique 😮
It never gets old hearing the Ultradorks get dunked on. Crimson Fists are the best blue boys.
These are really tight. As if I needed any more impetus to make some Nihilak Necrons to join my Obsehk Dynasty.
Ooh would love to see what you have painted in your Obsehk Dynasty. - Peachy
would you say the bold titanium white is a good alternative for corax white because that paint is the bane of my life
Put this video on while I was holding a 1yo niece, she fell straight asleep, thanks peachy, you have a calming voice
Hahaha! That explains why my lad and wife are always falling asleep 😂
Not gonna lie, I lost it when the necron fell off mid dry brush. That is truly the most real, painting/warhammer model work job moment I've ever seen in a tutorial video lol.

You are welcome
Would love to see some narrative paint and plays from you guys too :)

He’s so real for just grabbing the apprentek by the spear repeatedly
How would you recommend doing a more teal or blue green glow?
Peachy, freed from the chains of servitude, now joins the party on the Ultramarine hate!
While I apply the nulin oil to the model are milk chocolate flapjacks optional or are they a must? 😂
A must I’d say.

hi all , i have a question i use speed paint and other color army painter + GW color , speed paint eat GW color is impossible paint layer and X color GW
Is bold titanium white much better than say corax white? I've got white scar but the coverage isn't great for base coats etc
Yes, it’s a insanely bold white excuse the rubbish pun, even heavily thinned down its coverage is crisp and smooth, I am a big convert.
Can’t decide if I like this or the box art scheme better. What’s the box art color scene?
Cheers! If memory serves I think the box art is Sautekh.
How to achieve so smooth finish with striking scorpion contrast? Mine is always streaky, especially on big orbs :(
Yes, here for the dad jokes!!!
Just a little suggestion/request, can put on description or inside first comments all the color and primer used ?
As beginner have to go and buy so need to pause and write down all color used XD
I want to know what his paintbrushes are
For this vid I mostly used an army painter character brush, their regiment and small drybrush. We were given a set and honestly I was impressed. I think the character brush is my new favourite, hold a lot of paint and has a very good point to it too.
Cheers
Peachy
@@thepaintingphase thanks, I'll be sure to take that one for my own Necron army!
I'm curious - why do you use the Striking Scorpion Green over Tesseract Glow? Obviously the latter was made with Necrons in mind, but is it just the separation of the paint that makes the former more attractive?
Tesseract is more of a super yellowy green and very thin, we’re as striking scorpion has better coverage. At least that’s what I’ve found
Would you say that Tesseract Glow is about the same as Striking Scorpion Green for the glowy green stuff?
Yeah, though I’d say it’s overall finish is a bit pale and more yellow, but very close
@@thepaintingphase Thanks! I've been getting my buddy into 40k and he's settled on Necrons as his army so I wanna paint some up for him
What was said at 1:24? "Undercoat them all with ???" I'm a newbie and would love to know what this is!! ^^'
The phrase was "rattle can", this one being leadbelcher spray primer.
Peachy, do you have any recommendations for half decent brushes that wont break the bank or be overkill for an amatuer hobbyist?
Well as I’m getting more expose to brushes etc, of all the brushes I’ve been using I’ve become a big fan of the army painter ones and a firm favourite is their Character brush, the regiment one is pretty good too. And citadels small layer is a top choice. With these you can layer, basecoat and wash with them and they will last a good long time.

If a necron lord would sound like a cross between an Egyptian pharaoh and a Dalek😂
So, is this the Dynasty following the 'The Battle for the Heavans' ?
“Ya finga”
It is unfair that we have space Tomb Kings but no fantasy Tomb Kings :(
Maybe when the ‘Old World’ comes
back.
lol, the Ahriman blue and gold look better on these guys than Tsons. Nice work
Originally I did use thousand sons, but preferred Ahriman, thanks - peachy
These colours look fab together... Definitely not going to apply it to a Space Marine and see if it works for him. :)
Ha! Well I guess you won’t know unless you try 😉
What units are in that kill team?
