About this deal

The bottom line is simple enough: although Necrons are fairly technical, they are forgiving due to their durability, and the brute force of their weaponry. If nothing else this thing is HUGE, heavy, and surprisingly delicate, it would be pretty unmanageable to try and paint this thing while holding it like a baby as would be required. Thin the Umber ink about 1:1 with water (If you use Wyldwood contrast, water will work fine for thinning, contrast medium is not necessary for this technique) and splotch it around somewhat randomly to give the armor a stained/dirty look. The technical specifications for this Necron unit have not been obtained or released by the Ordo Xenos.

These are referred to as Blast weapons. In addition to the normal rules, the following rules apply to Blast weapons:Nothing is so emblematic of Necron implacability as the Monolith. Like all Necron constructs, it is composed of living metal a complex semi-sentient alloy that ripples and flows to repair damage in a blink of an eye. When combined with the vehicles slab-sided armour plates, this makes the Monolith an incredibly daunting opponent for any enemy.

This tactic also pairs well if you’ve got fliers. While it is very nice to have your occupants of a flyer live when it is just fine, a unit of Necron Warriors walking in on a board edge mid to late game is pretty unexciting. Popping out of a Monolith though around midfield, and suddenly the unit becomes an actual threat to Objectives. This thing just needs a few things to make it competitive but without them it’s just a giant floating turd on the battlefield.The Gathering Storm I and Shield of Baal campaign books from late 7th edition both feature Necrons in key roles working with the Imperium to protect key worlds from threats that they’d rather not deal with themselves. In Gather Storm, Trazyn works with Cawl and Imperial forces to stop Abaddon and in Shield of Baal Anrakyr works with the Blood Angels and the Mephrit dynasty to fend off a Tyranid invasion. For my scheme all the metal is done in one go, these days I much prefer to just base coat one metallic colour and then just use washes and contrast to build up the colour I want. In this case I wanted a rich dense feel to the metal for which the density of basilicanum is just fantastic, its effectively multiple coats of nuln in one go! While it is not super obvious in the final product, the agrax helps to give complexity to the tones in the metal that the grey wash does not really give.
