Lupa15's Imperium Magazine

I decide on painting my Necrons in a version of the Novokh Dynasty colors.  But instead of using the Warhammer TV scheme I researched for a lot of fellow painters takes on it.

In the end this is what I think the color scheme will be:

Metal Body

Undercoat the miniature with Citadel Leadbelcher spray before using Citadel Leadbelcher thinned to ensure a smooth coverage.

Wash the metal with Citadel Basilicanum Grey Contrast and Citadel Contrast Medium at about a ratio of 1:3.

Red Armor

Use Citadel Mephiston Red on the skull and shoulder pads before washing with a 50/50 mix of Citadel Agrax Earthshade and Citadel Lahmian Medium to wash the areas.

Finally highlight with both Citadel Evil Sunz Scarlet and Citadel Wild Rider Red.

Gun Casing

Basecoat the gun casing with Citadel Corvus Black before washing with Citadel Basilicanum Grey Contrast and Citadel Contrast Medium at about a ratio of 1:3.

Finally highlight with Citadel Dawnstone.

White Armor

Base the tassels and other white armor with Citadel Corax White.

Wash the white armor with the same mixture as the metal body which is Citadel Basilicanum Grey Contrast and Citadel Contrast Medium at about a ratio of 1:3.

Use Citadel Corax White to leave the wash in the recesses before highlighting with Citadel White Scar.

Gold Trim

Base with Citadel Balthasar Gold.

At the same time as the Red Armor use a 50/50 mix of Citadel Agrax Earthshade and Citadel Lahmian Medium to wash the areas.

I haven’t yet determined an exact highlight but I am leaning towards using Citadel Gehennas Gold and dots of Citadel Stormhost Silver.

Orange Energy Glow

Base with Citadel Jokaero Orange.

Layer with Citadel Fire Dragon Bright leaving the basecoat in the recesses.

Highlight with Citadel Pallid Wych Flesh before using a wash of Cassandora Yellow with a 50/50 mix of Citadel Lahmian Medium.
