Necron Ghost Ark/Doomsday Ark magnetized & painted

[Vehementi]

I prefer the "half repaired dudes", I didn't paint their eyes, I left them black, to make it look like they've been temporerily shut down whilst undergoing repairs.

Hi again, its been bugging me for a while with my own paints, but how do YOU paint on your gold? how do you get it so perfect, step by step, id be very grateful

[EldarCorsair]

@cmuhley Believe it or not it's usually extremely simple: Shining Gold basecoat (sometimes over a dark brown base if it's on white priming), heavy wash with Devlan Mud, highlight just little edges with Shining Gold again.

[cmuhley]

@EldarCorsair Thankyou ever so much, it's for my Lychguard you see, and i sprayed them black first though, if that's correct?

[EldarCorsair]

@cmuhley For sure, I always prime my Necrons black to start. Good luck with your painting!

[Vehementi]

@EldarCorsair When I paint gold, I find that gryphonne sepia looks slightly better than devlan mud. :)

What size on the magnet do you use for the big gun? Is 3/16 enough?

[originalAoitora]

Hey EC what did you do with the warriors that came in the Ghost Ark kit? Can they be turned into warriors like DE raider crew can be used as normal models? Objective markers perhaps?

[EldarCorsair]

@originalAoitora You could use them for little conversions perhaps but they are unfortunately all the same - folded arms molded to the chest, limbs missing, etc.

I have found a great Idea for the stalker since there is no model. The ghost ark rear is perfect. Do not add the front park add some legs coming out of the vents and it looks dead on the artwork from the codex!. I want to do it bad however I dunno if the price of the model is worth it for making a stalker.

[EldarCorsair]

@TheMadMedek I'm going to wait to see what the official model looks like before I try any conversions, recent GW kits have been exemplary so I'm hoping the Stalker will continue that trend!

[Kirigakure9]

could you explain where you placed the magnets for the Doomsday Ark cannon? trying to do this same exact thing, but can't see if you magnetized the cannon on the bottom or on the end. excellent video, thanks for posting!

Love the living metal effect.

[truewargaming]

what size mag did you use?

[CornettoMTG]

@EldarCorsair

I'll hold you to that promise ;)

[CSMatherly]

I do the same thing except i just pile them into the ghost ark. When they're getting out i turn it over and dump them out :P

[EldarCorsair]

@CSMatherly Lol, Necron avalanche!

[gorefangz]

lol if i get one or more, would you mind if i did this too

[EldarCorsair]

@gorefangz Go for it :)

[TheCelsork]

great model. Lots of good ideas. 

[CornettoMTG]

Eldar? :(

[EldarCorsair]

@CornettoMTG I'm a bit too addicted to my Necrons right now - I promise I will have some Eldar content after Christmas :).

[Tophawtdog4411]

@EldarCorsair are you going to try a 20 warrior blob squad with res orb and ghost ark? damn tough to get of an obj

[EldarCorsair]

@Tophawtdog4411 Absolutely, it's one of the main reasons I got an Ark :).

[MightOfKhorne]
