40K Necrons - Doom Scytheby ~Archibald-TK

Traditional Art / Sculpture / Models

My first and probably last flyer. They are ridiculously easy to build and paint (the custom base was a pain to prepare thought) but alas I'm not really into flyers in 40K.
The lack of luminosity when I take my pics make the silver and golden parts all look the same color.

In a few days I shall have a Royal Court and Obyron done so they'll probably be my next pic.

EDIT-
Changed the pic for a brighter one.

this one reminds me of jaffar/guauld gliders from star gate even more than they do regularly

~Archibald-TK Oct 3, 2012

I admit that GW were far from subtle with that one. Goa'uld looking flyer from Stargate with, in the Night Scythe case, a Wraith like transportation system from Stargate Atlantis.

to be honest i have a necron army from the old codex, but the looks of the new hq models? the wraiths? and other stuff.... just want far off of that mechanical undead thing i liked so much. tho i think i'll use some of it for my spacelizardmen alien empire army x3
the mainpart of the army wil go by tau rules n a minor part with the new allies system by necron rules as kind of social warrior elite, wachu think of that idea?

~Archibald-TK Oct 9, 2012

Excellent idea.

I'm 100% for the idea of creating new races/armies, combining two sets of rules thanks to the new allies system.
Using a Codex full of weak models for the bulk of the army, the common people, and another with stronger more elite models as allies for the upper echelons of society shall work very well.

~Necrotarch Oct 9, 2012

yay ^^ actually halo gave me the idea x3

Sweet work. I notice no external pilot?! Not to your liking I take it. Not to mine either that much.

~Archibald-TK Oct 3, 2012

Thanks. You're right, I removed all of the pilots from my vehicles. From Barges to Arches to Scythes, I wanted them to feel like autonomous machines instead of piloted vehicles.

~sejason Oct 1, 2012

By the look of it, you've a nicely painted Scythe here.
I like the simple and metallic look, even if it may seem dull ... but hey, we're talking about Necrons here

Perhaps you can take a picture with better lighting?

~Archibald-TK Oct 3, 2012

Thank you.

Indeed I wanted for my Necrons to look dull, to reinforce the feeling that they're just an unified wave of machines walking toward the enemy. That's why I went for a steel color for the majority of the model, with only a few specific parts and weapons being golden/bronze.

As for the lightning I never manage to get it right. As soon as I increase it everything becomes to bright/white.

~sejason Oct 3, 2012

I take my pictures without a lightning and use either the light of day or I increase the exposure time until the picture is bright enough to get all the details. Some newer pictures are taken in a photo box with light coming in from left, right and above. If you're going to take more pictures, it's worth investing the time to build one
