Nice test model and army :)

To my tastes it looks a bit clean, bright and cartoony. I would apply a thinned down black wash over the whole model to make it a bit darker / grittier looking. It entirely depends what sort of look you want for them though.

I am going to try a test with Army Painters Alien Purple primer and some quickshade next. Also the primer and regular freehand. See if theres a way to speed up completing this without too much loss of quality.

Great job on that model. Would love to see it in full red scheme like the Narn had, but I feel like your scheme is so well worked out already and looks right for the model.

Nice to see people remembering B5. I feel like nothing I've seen since has quite managed to surpass it.

Ya i had wanted to do a bright red, but I will be doing that on Eldar or Tau in the future so i wanted to play off the darker tone of the Necron fluff. And i do want the brighter highlighted edges as opposed to the gritty, rusty theme usually seen as thats all i did last year with my Iron Warriors....but a purple primer + quickshade + highlights might be a good combo, going to try that out soon.

Doing some tests on processes. Not sure about base color yet. Thoughts?

thanks. ya after a year's worth of Iron Warriors I wasnt about to do another "metal" army....wanted to get that old school GW highlighting going on...more painterly, but ironically takes WAY less time than my IW...which had so many layers and what not.

Im thinking dark grey or brown base with some sort of foliage added...

For these I used Army Painter Alien Purple as a primer and then a coat of GW naggaroth base color. Love the purple the primer comes out as....but just using a wash on top didnt make the color deep enough.

The tests are getting my seal of approval!

For the infantry i'd vote for the option on the far left.
The colour combinations seem to create the most visual interest and help define the different parts of the model.

Only thing i'd recommend doing different is the Doomsday Ark.
It feels like it needs some small conversion to make it look more like a weird alien engine of war rather then a 40k bit ;)

Hope that helps :)
Keep it coming!

Hey guys/gals, no movement as of late. New job and family issues have kept me from gaming for a while. But they will be back sometime in 2016...still collecting new models as well!

Gone under the sand for a bit, but the crons will rise for sure!

still creeping the forums from time to time.

we'll be back...

-V
