WIP: Necron Doom Scythe #3
In this update I’ve painted the metals, base coated the weaponry and painted the base. I’m planning on painting all the weaponry like my Necron Warriors. I’m not too sure about the lichen on base now, it looks stuck on. I’m thinking I need to...
Showcase: Necron Scarabs
My lichen turned up today, so I finished off my scarabs and superglued some lichen to the bases. I think the lichen is a good addition to the bases. Before it was quite red, and now it helps break it all up. Happy with these....
WIP: Necron Doom Scythe #2
This is update number two for this project. I’ve highlighted the edges of the craft using a fine detail brush and some vallejo fiery orange + white and used some Citedal Temple Guard blue to line the circuitry patterns on the hull. I think I...
WIP: Necrons Scarabs
These are nearly finished. I just have to highlight the red armour and tidy the base edges. They are the easiest thing I’ve painted in a very long time I think… it’s all been massive Tyranids, flyers or Warhammer Fantasy monsters. It was nice to...
Tutorial: Airbrushing Necron Vehicles – Doom Scythe
With the Grey Knights completed, and my next army choice not even on the new release radar yet (Chaos), I thought I would spend the next few months revisiting my Necrons. Having just enjoyed Flyer Friday I decided to purchase another flyer, the awesome Doom Scythe /...
Showcase: Ultramarines Storm Talon + Other fliers
It’s flyer Friday here on Tale of Painters! Read on to see my flyers including the completed Storm Talon. Dog fighting! Those twin linked assault cannons are going to shred the Razorwing Jetfighter. The Storm Talon is quite a small bulky aircraft. The Storm Talon...

WIP: Ultramarines Storm Talon #3
The freehand has been added. Typically 40k with skulls and lightning bolts to the usual Chapter Insignia. It helps break up all the blue and makes it a bit more interesting. Otherwise it’s just highlighting a flying blue lego brick. I’m going to work on...
WIP: Ultramarines Storm Talon #2
I’ve lined all the armour panels, which has given some depth to the model. I won’t add the highlights until I’ve added some chipping because I can do the under lights to the chips the same time as the edge highlights. I can’t do the...
WIP: Storm Talon Gunship #1
I always paint the base of flyers quite early on in a project so I can glue the stand to the base. This then gives me somewhere to rest the model. I really like this model. It looks a lot better in the flesh then...
