Necron Air Force so far...

Just a quick one to post as promised a shot of the growing Necron Air wing so far. three Night Scythes and a Doom Scythe. Maybe Father Crimbo will be good to me and get a FW Necron Night Shroud Bomber...

I think they look pretty darn awesome ;)

Necron Night Scythe #3

Here is another Necron Night Scythe for my ever growing ever-living Necron Army. Again, I have painted it Necron Abysss Blue and Metallics to match the other two, however I have added a few other blue plates, maybe this automaton is a veteran pilot?

The front view always looks awesome. Especially when swooping over the bombed out terrain.

The base shows some wreckage bits I had from a Relictor StormTalon, my other army, I cut it with a razor saw to appear half buried, and painted scorch marks on the wing. Hope you like - I'll post a shot of all three and the Doom Scythe next up. Thanks for dropping in.

Necron Night Scythe #2

Howdy readers, here is my latest offering, another Night Scythe for my growing Necron force.  I have used the same colours as before, a nice Necron Abyss blue with reddish Gauss energy and my oily looking metals with Platemetal Army Painter spray washed with Nuln Oil and Devlan Mud..

I wanted the base to be a feature for this new flyer, rather than a big expanse of nothing - so using some spares from the Obelisk kit, I made it look like part of the Necron Tomb world or a vehicle was rising above the surface from beneath the plains.

The only variation from the first Night Scythe was the tips of the croissant were painted blue, an easy way of differentiating between the two craft. The next one will probably have a few more panels blue, whilst I think the Doom Scythe I'll eventually do will be completely blue.

I do love the lookof these flyers, they look more dangerous than they actually are! They do look cool when they enter the battlefield, and at only 100pts I may get a few more yet.

And to prove it is not just a re-post! ;)

Necrons - Doom Scythe / Night Scythe Flyer

So I hinted with my last Necron post about the finalised colour scheme and how I am still using the Blue (Necron Abyss) colour carapace and now a new red for gauss energy.  Here is my latest offering dear readers, a Necron Night Scythe / Doom Scythe, shown above as a Doom Scythe.

The side profile of this craft is very 'Independence Day' and looks great. The colour scheme came about through functionality, I can spray the near completed craft completely silver and double wash (Devlan Mud and Badab Black) before any detailing and finally add the two blue pieces once painted too.

The addition of a few well placed transfers adds loads I think, maybe pilot name or honours?? Who knows if the pilots are sentimental? Ha. This scheme also leaves it easily open to adapt for the next craft, maybe more blue panels - or totally blue? Maybe to differentiate between Doom and Night Scythe's?

Here's a close up, a simple controls detailing and the lens panel was added after it was painted to make it easy. The Death Ray (great name) fits without glue and is interchangeable with the wormhole from the Night Scythe.

I added some simple rocks for some minor detail to break up the expanse of the base, plan is to add one or two spare Scarabs later on, or trophies from it's future battles.

Here is a close up of the Night Scythe trans dimensional Worm Hole thingy....

Thanks for reading, hope you like.
