A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.
This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Awesome! Mind me asking what paints you used? I'm considering starting a Necron army at some point and love the vibe of these.
Necron Body:
Dark Purple - Pro Acryl
Macragge Blue - Citadel
Magic Blue - Game Color
Voidshield Blue - Army Painter Warpaints
After each color is a 50/50 blend with the next color.
Full cover with the dark purple, then "directional color" ) akin to a zenithal prime. Each new layer gets smaller, to just highlights with the voidshield.
Energy glow:
Screamer pink - Citadel
Bold titanium white - Pro Acryl
Magenta fluorescent - vallejo model color
Coat the whole area in pink. Highlight areas in white. Coat everything (overlap onto the blue) with Magenta fluorescent, as it is transparent.
"Gold" Accents on characters:
Mephiston red - Citadel
Gryph-hound orange - Citadel
Trollslayer orange - Citadel
Dorn yellow - Citadel
Cost area in mephiston. Lightly coat with gryph-hound. Directional color with trollslayer (same direction as the blues), then light highlights with dorn yellow.
Thanks to its transparency, it is easy to use the Magenta for simple "object source lighting" effects.
