Not much to say about this fellow really, other than he was a study in how quickly it was possible to paint up a Necron Warrior.

Well, a little more background won't hurt. A friend's son appears to have accumulated a large number of Necrons courtesy of his father ("although if you don't want to play with them son" etc) but to give him an opportunity of retaining interest while painting, I wanted to come up with a very quick way to paint them to tabletop quality with minimum effort. All told, not including drying time ... this was about ten minutes work and a filler project while I painted other things.

Basic colours are simply spray painted silver over the plastic, several washes of Badab Black to line and shadow everything. Gryphon Sepia was used around the joints and the back half of the head to differentiate between the different metals. The gun details were painted blue, although with hindsight I'd paint the rod before spraying and glueing it into place. The chest detail has been left silver, although I'd be tempted to paint this as a glowing blue or green if there was more time.

Another figure without a finished base, but in my defence this was deliberately left alone as I haven't a clue what the young man would like to do as a basing scheme.

On a related note, I did make a small error and happened to purchase three vehicles for my Orks as well. So that's doubled my otherwise rather good figures for the year. One Necron being worth the same as an Ork Battlewagon doesn't bode well for the coming month's painting achievements methinks. At this point the tally stands at ... 2009 Pledge. Purchased: 6. Completed: 29.
