Rusted Necrons: Update on Progress

This army is at the details stage, with the Flayed Ones requiring the most remaining work.  Here's a few pics that includes some detail missing from the Work in Progress shots I took before the tournament this past weekend.

A storm lord of any stripe needs a lightning rod.

WarGames Con Witching Hour Update

Gak!  It's already Saturday, and Lordy but I need some sleep!

Gauthic and I teamed up for the team tournament today under the name 'Not Another Grey Knights Army.'  We weren't really prepared for this, since my partner was supposed to be the Card Pimp in Question.  But he abandoned the cause, choosing his new job and existing relationship over a weekend trip to compete in an edition that will soon go the way of the Dodo.

Smart guy.  Work and family come first.  For my own part, this trip is on a shoestring budget...

Leaving Out: Morning Of... What's Up With That?

Morning of... *sigh*

Worked late spraying wash on the models...

More WiP Rusted Necrons... Night Before the Trip

It's a bit after midnight and I've got a full day of work before leaving tomorrow for Austin.  So where am I at?

(PS:  Overwatch, I'll be there this weekend, and in the tournament.  That said... with the end of 5th my competitive spirit has suffered.  That's reflected in the army I'm bringing, which is much more fluffy than fighty.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting you - make sure you introduce yourself, man!)

So stippling my undercoat took longer than I wanted... and so did drybrushing the silver topcoat.  I deviated greatly from Brian's recipe (see last post for the link) at this point, simply because my silver turned out much more pronounced!  Truth be told, it wasn't what I intended.

Rusted Necrons, Batch Painting for WarGames Con

Here's where I'm at... finishing the metal drybrush shouldn't take much more time, then it's on to washes, glows, and detailing..  The final steps will be airbrushed, with the exception of the Stormlord.

WiP: 2K Necrons for Wargames Con

If I don't make good progress today, I'm sunk!  Luckily, I've been planning this out for months - it's just time to put my money where my mouth is.

So to speak.  Let's walk through the process so far, and note I'm going to be using Brian's (A Gentleman's Ones) rust recipe, with some minor variations,  so follow the LINK for a perusal then hurry back!

Cleaning:  Many of the models had to be dropped in the bath...

Necro-Nid WiP... (BioPsychoAntiSocial)

I've been dropping shots of my work in progress 'Necro-Nid,' but after talking to Everyone Brother From Another Mother Big Whit on Friday, I realized it's a bit difficult to tell where I'm going with it.

This will correct that.

You see, his 'head' is meant to be a hologram projector, where this piece - from Greenman Designs Inc - will fit in, my homage to RoboCop II.

WG-Con WiP Pics: Team Tournament HQ

So for the team tournament, the Card Pimp in Question and I are busting out a TyraCron combo.  The HQ's are a Prime and a certain over-priced Necron Lord who drops lightning out of a clear blue sky.

The conversions I wanted to make present some unique challenges...

The Prime amalgamation.  He's magnatized so he can sit on a larger base, but...
