Necron Fleet

[gimli182]

Hey!
We are starting pretty big project - Necron Fleet. Package with models just arrived so this is gonna be just intro post
Its gonna be pure 6th edition Warhammer 40k army based only on flyers - we've tested it and its sick good. Its gonna be around 1700 points roster that includes:
- Overlord in Catacomb Command Barge
- 5x5 Necron Warriors in Nightscythes
- 3x Tomb Blade
- 3x Doomscythe
In the first turn on the battlefield there is only Overlord and Tomb Blades. They are for scouting and luring the enemy In round two Night and Doom Scythes start to arrive and annihilate the enemy. Almost everything hits them on 6+. No one can assault them - they are really good

Now the visual part. Army is gonna be white + metallic with rust and weathering and desert bases (we are planning something special with Brovatar). We are gonna show some progress soon. Hope you like the idea - the army might go on ebay



2 days it took but...

That is a sickening list, I hope I never have to face anything like it (I am yet to figure out how to deal with flyers/necrons ). Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you not limited to having at most half your army in reserve at the start of the game?

I'm looking forward to seeing your white painting, its always a challenging colour but looks great when done well.

With lists like that, 6th will sink faster then the Titanic

As for the reserve question; you can only start half of your army that isn't REQUIRED to start in reserves off the table. Thus, things like flyers and drop pods that must start in reserves, are not included in this count. Also, the units that are designated to those pieces do not count. That means that only 2 of his units (barge/lord and the tomb blades) are included in this count; the scythes and their occupants are not.

The huge weakness to this list is if someone manages to kill the tomb blades and the barge/lord out right first turn, you auto lose for not having any models on the table. So denying line of sight first turn should be considered a priority here lol.

Hey!
I started with Scythes. First - GW Chaos Black Primer.


First layer of rust - scorched brown mixed with blood red. There are gonna be 2 more layers before white.


Brovatar almost finished modelling bases so I'll show you progress in those soon.

Looks promising. Subscribed.

Hey!
Finally I finished rust part on scythes. Here we have second layer. I used here Valleho Air Rust.


This is the final layer - fiery orange mixed with rust. Please note that photo is too bright.


Final effect on all vehicles:


Brovatar finished modelling bases, Im gonna do them fully magnetized to make them easier to transport. There is also a spot for a model to show embarked unit. Now I need to find cool colour scheme for those desert bases. Any ideas guys?

That rusty effect is really cool.

[JasoX]

Really liking your scythes with rust effect. Keep up the good work!

[gimli182]

Thank you! I focused fire on Command Barge atm As always I forgot about the pictures. I'll make them tommorow morning with day light.

[gimli182]

Hey!
I didn't take pics of all steps but hope to make it clear. I did all the sponge steps on Catacomb Command Barge. Then covered it with Worn Effects Acrylic Fluid using airbrush.



After that I sprayed whole model with GW Skull White. Then using brush I wetted parts of the model - which I scratched using toothpicks, brushes and hobby knife.



Next I'm gonna make metallic parts and use Rust Wash to make it more realistic.



There are gonna be sandy and black pigments, green OSL etc... much work ahead of me.

Looks awesome!

[gimli182]

Hey!
I have finally finished bases. Really like those scarabs - wish I had more to put. Special thanks to Brovatar for modelling and sculpting. Those are magnetized - both the place for Scythe and embarked unit.



Below some WIPs, Warriors and Blades still need a lot of work. Weapons for Scythes are almost done - some washes here and there and a little highlight and should look awesome







Next update should be about Scythes. At the end of the project I'll definitely make better photos of the whole army.

Looking really good But it looks like your missing the weapons for the last Doom Scythe. Is one finished already?

[Mega Nutz]

A fantastic looking scheme, and great execution. Looking forward to seeing this army in all it's murderous glory!!

[zoggin-eck]

How are you getting that "wavy sand" effect?

I enjoyed going through your site, by the way.

[Student]

Looks cool, I like the rust effect with the peeling off white bits.

[bravey]

Very cool stuff! The rusty white worked out quite well-though I would have gone for a more Bleached Bone color myself.

Also, your army list is just mean.

Yup, forgot about that one. I'll upload more pics tommorow morning.

Brovatar modeled those sand dunes using greenstuff, white glue and sand. Then we casted it and put on those some scarabs and GW Desert grass. Thank you for visiting our website!

There are gonna be some sand pigments on those Scythes so I hope they are gonna look even more realistic Thanks for the "mean" comment - mean was our goal

[TimLeeson]

Damn, that is one of teh best rust effects I've ever seen. it looks shockingly real. the contrast with the white just makes it look even better. This will be a great looking army.
