10 Easy Schemes To Paint A Necron Army: Tutorial
Just a sample of some of the super-fast schemes we’ll see today! If you love Goobertown, check out what else he has going on! Just as a note, each of these schemes only has about four steps. They are really that easy!
Scheme 1:
Spray the whole model with a Silver Primer. Then use Nuln Oil, and wash the entire thing. After that dries do a bright silver highlight on everything. He just then bases with some sand and adds some Gamers Grass Alien Tufts. To get the green on the weapon he uses a Green Contrast Paint and finishes it with a Nuln Oil wash. And that’s it, really that simple.
Scheme 2:
Start with a Dark Green Primer. Once dry hit the whole thing with a Nuln Oil Wash. To give it a camo look, make splotches in odd shapes with smooth-edges using black, brown, and light green. Apply the colors in one good coat but don’t get anyone too goopy. Also, don’t worry too much about one individual splotch.
The gun was painted black and then dry brushed gray. You can add some plants from the store to the base to really give it that jungle look. Finally, finish the model with red eyes.
Scheme 3:
Start by spraying this blue and then hit it with the Nuln Oil Wash. Then use a big soft makeup brush and hit a light blue highlight from the top down on the whole model. To finish the armor, hit a teal dry brush using the same technique. He then just simply paints the gun silver, all one color. For the base, he uses texture paste and puts a few rocks on top. Finish the model with red eyes and a trace of blue in the gun. Quick and easy!
Scheme 4:
Start with a bright silver primer then apply a green contrast paint on top of that. He then used black contrast paint on the gun and blue on the glowing bits. Texture paste for the base with some rocks and that’s it! The easiest one yet.
Scheme 5
Prime white for this one. Then add some Pledge floor care and a couple of Yellow washes in different containers together. Then wash them from dark to light over the model. Just doing a few coats and getting good coverage. For the gun, he does a silver wash and then a blue wash for the glowing bits. Follow the same procedure for the base as the other models.
Scheme 6:
Start this scheme with a white primer again. Then paint little black dots all over the model. Use the same pledge floor care trick as the last scheme but this time use a greenwash. Once ready give the model three washes with the mix. To finish off the mini hit the gun with purple and black washes and paint the eyes silver.
Scheme 7:
Prime with a red-brown spray to start here. Then hit a Nuln Oil Wash over the whole model. Next, take a brown and orange and use a sponge to push it on the model. No need to be precise here. Just do it anywhere you feel you want. It’s basically impossible to mess up. Then paint the gun silver with the glowing bits being green. He uses an almost identical technique on the base here as the other models but finishes it with a pale blue.
Scheme 8
Next is a different kind of beat up Necron. Start with a green prime then paint a lighter shade of green over the whole thing. Then give it an all-over green drybrush. For the gun paint it straight black and the indents silver. Last he takes silver on a sponge and hits it all over the mini in random spots. It’s a beat-up Necron, no reason to be precise. For the base, he uses texture paint to give it a rusty feel.
Scheme 9
Prime the model with a glossy black to start. Then take Vallejo color shifter paint and hit the whole mini with it. This time he uses green-blue violet for the body and turquoise violet for the gun, doing two coats of each. You never really know what it looks like till it dries so just choose your colors and have faith! For the base, he throws down some rocks and gives them a gray dry brush.
Scheme 10
For the last scheme, he sprays the whole thing black. Then mix blue and silver together to make an alien metal, apply it to the whole model other than the gun. For the gun, he painted it straight silver, and then he gave the whole mini a Nuln Oil Wash, including the gun. To finish it up he hits the majority of the model with a texture paint to make it look like he’s a robot in a sandstorm. Really simple!
