My Necron Scheme

[Stonewall]

Alrighty, so I just got some Necron Warriors in a trade from the wonderful Winged Menace, and I was so excited (and determined to avoid homework) That I went and painted one of them for a paint scheme test.





What say you, I feel like the face might be better a bit brighter, and maybe the body feels a little plain, but what does the hive think? Any suggestions?

When I think Necrons, the first thing that comes to mind is metal bodies. Your guys don't seem very metal but that is simply my preference. I think your paint looks a bit on the thick side, and the colors do seem slightly flat. Better pictures would really help

Maybe add some places where it looks like paint has chipped and come off, exposing the metal under-body?

Good luck

I like the red face, it makes the model look like it's wearing a battle mask, or even a burial mask. If the body feels plain to you, think about adding some of that same red to other parts of his body. Maybe make some panels on his shins and forearms red as well, it might help to unify the model.

Maybe a quick wash of some sort?

I like the ceramic look you have going with your colors. A little more depth would be nice and the suggested washes on the body might accomplish that quickly and easily. Thinner paint may do the same thing as well.

Some more detail too, like the coils and tubes on the gun would help with the "finished" look!

Original scheme for Necrons. I hate this army because they're all boltgun metal but to have a different color scheme is refreshing. It's also beautiful so...
