Yes, it's the Necrons! I have finished the Wraiths and Heavy Destroyer, which - predictably - didn't take very long. A quick highlight of the blue armour plates, a few details here and there, some Tesseract Glow and gloss varnish, and Bob's your relative:

The Gauss destroyer or whatever it's called ended up being black because I checked how I'd painted the Gauss blasters on the Warriors I did a few years ago. I don't think they got theirs highlighted, but this is quite a big model so I think benefits from it, and it also differentiates the piping a bit too

 |
I really like the sort of brushed metal effect on the body of the machine
|
 |
I particularly like the little mini-scarab you can see on top of the rock on the top left of the base here
|
 |
The funky Necron glyphs on the side probably do actually mean something, but I have no idea what
|
Without checking my army list, I think I need another two of these to complete the unit, but they are fieldable on their own so that does mean I have a Heavy Support choice for the army completed now. The Wraiths, which look very different to the 3rd Edition ones, are a completed unit entry as they came in sizes of 1-3 per unit:
 |
I actually much prefer these to the 3rd Edition ones - these look really alien and menacing, like hideous mechanical insects, coiled and threatening, ready to strike
|
 |
I ummed and ahhed over whether or not to paint the little globes-on-sticks in the glowing green, but decided not to in the end. Who knows what they are, these strange ancient alien pieces of technology
|
I have a bunch more Necrons to paint up, I think - some Flayed Ones, some Immortals, more Warriors - so I might well work on them while I have the Necron mojo in my system. Those poor Royalist Quar are going to be waiting a while, it seems.
