How To Paint Rusty Necrons Fast With Speedpaint: Army Painter Tutorial
To start, they are going to Zenithal highlight all the models, and now that you can take characters in units, they are going to paint one at the same time! Just remember, this is how to paint very fast, so it will look great on the tabletop but probably not win you any painting awards.
Step 1:
To start, he does a basecoat with the Speedpaint metallic, and this should only take about 45 seconds a model, then repeat this across all the minis in the squad. Next up is the base. He basecoats it with the Satchel Brown Speedpaint.
Step 2:
Now it’s time to add the rust. He thins down Dry Rust with water and applies this over all the metal parts of your Necrons. The orange will run into the recesses and give you that rusted feel. You could use a brush to edge highlight all the models, but a faster method is taking a sponge with Polished Silver on it and just dabbing it all over the raised areas of the miniature. For all the glowing bits, he’s going to do a thinned downed coat of Matte White on everything he wants to glow.
Step 3:
To make the glow effect, he applied the Air Fluo Guass Green to all the areas he had just painted white. To finish everything, grab your favorite drybrush and hit the base with Arid Earth, and finally, throw some tufts to the base.
