Warhammer 40k: Necron Raiders

I recently bought the the new Indomitus box for 40K and after building all the Necrons in that I had the sudden desire to work on my 2nd Ed Necron Raiders which have been hiding in my pile of shame for let's say quite a while.  I've always loved the look of the original Necron sculpts, really chunky and menacing, I mean look at those faces!


Luckily I snagged all these off of eBay years ago at a really low price and in a decent condition.  All I had to do was give them a bath in Iso to help remove to excessive super glue and then rebuild them.  As I had two Lords I decided to do a simple conversion to add a little variety which has worked out quite well combined with the different paint scheme.


For the paint job I have tried to keep as close to the original paint scheme they had back in the day but with some added pop thanks to the new contrast paints (which work great over metallics) and the Necron neon glow paint.





I kept the basing the same as Amy's Necron army so that they could be used as one whole force if desired and I think it works very well with them, Vallejo's Black Lava texture paint with a green dry brush and the odd crystal or two here and there.

As always I've thoroughly enjoyed working on these old miniatures, so much so that I've starteds to put some paint on my Black Legion now but more on them later...
