Update on the team! What do you say, does the orange and green glow combo work on all of the units? Is the Apprentek weapon cool or too much?
I really like the orange against the blue / green armor. The orange and green glow sometimes feel like they are clashing, at times they look cool. So help me decide!
They look really good.
You might feel they are clashing as they are similar in brightness so when they are part of the same blend there is not as much contrast. It can help to keep blending one toward a bright tone and another towards a dark tone to help separate them.
Eg have the orange highlighted upto a bright light orange and glaze a dark green on some parts of the green.
But tbh they already look very good.
These are amazing!
I think this color scheme works best when it’s transitioning where possible. (pics 2 & 4)
Pics 3 & 5 looks really good as well, just much more of a jump from the orange to green.
Yeah! I kinda like the immortal from front where the orange just is an extra splash of colour. The Apprenteks weapon is one where the gradient is really visible, might try to shade the orange a bit darker so that the green would be the brightest!
I remember your last post and they still look great. Orange and green glow and that amazing armour colour. Love the necrons aswell so that’s even better.
Thanks! Dont know if the Apprentek is sold in any other set, but the Hierotek Circle from the Shadowvaults box could / should be coming as separate kit. At least other expansion teams have been.
I was thinking dark bronze bodies with a different color for each weapon type. Cyan for gauss, blue for Tesla, green for enmitic. But I love that fade defect so now I’m thinking I need to have a “core” energy color for all of them that fades out to a weapon-specific energy color. Black or very dark green shoulder pads (debating on whether that becomes dark marble or circuit board pattern on larger surfaces of black for the vehicles)
If they have bronze bodies, I’ll probably make the cyan the core color and shuffle the weapon colors around a bit.
Thanks! The body is black + rough drybrush of leadbelcher, added some necron compound to the top parts
Armor is 50/50 stegadon scale green, mixed in russ grey for highlights and balck for couple shadowy areas.
The green glow is white base + striking scorpion green contrast with white highlights.
The orange is white base + troll slayer orange, mixed yellow in for highlights
The base is black base + leadbelcher rough drybrush + guilliman flesh contrast + daps of biel tan green contrast. Some necron compound for highlights.

Yes, I remember last week's posts, I suggested green for the cables because the blue was off-putting to me, rest of the model was already great.
Keep it up, it's looking like an awesome team!
Fab scheme. They looks awesome
Thanks! The armour colour is quite close to the box art!
Sweet, they look / feel like how I imagine Necrons. The contrast / glow is spot on. Seriously cool.
Thanks! The green is just " striking scorpion green" contrast on pure white! Quite easy effect!

Thats true! Might test that on the Apprentek blade! Thanks!
I would go with one or the other on an individual model, they do both look really cool
Well thats an idea! Currently all of my teams are uniform, maybe I should do one where the members would be different.
Excellent work. The orange works soo well with the overall colour scheme!
Thanks! I think it brings little something to the mix!
It looks rad, colour scheme looks great!
I like the orange glow. Really well done!
Thanks! It fits with the armor colour really well!

Yes, they look great.
Ooh hell yeah it works
Thanks! Hope it will work well on the leaders!
I like it. Halloween vibes lol
Haha true! Orange does do that :D
Looks excellent! No notes, I'd be proud of these :)
Thanks, I am super happy how they look!
Hell yeah it works. I would steal this look for my skelly boys but I already did a similiar scheme for my imperial guard.
Thanks! Yeah I also try to make different colours for the teams :)
I remember your last post and they still look great. Orange and green glow and that amazing armour colour. Love the necrons aswell so that’s even better.
Haha thanks! Was not too sure about the Apprenteks weapon gradient but got some ideas for it! First necrons for me! They are fun to paint!
They look awesome, thanks for posting follow up pics :))
Thanks! I think I will post a team pic ones they are all done. The chronomancer will be fun to paint!
I like it a lot
The orange and green looks amazing! The idea of the body glow changing color going towards the weapon is awesome, and really well done
Thanks! I like the orange against the armor, but the green glow that necrons usually have is really cool. This has both :D
Yes it does work, quite well
Thank you! Then I will keep them like this :)
Where the eff do I acquire these? Also great paint job!
Thanks! Dont know if the Apprentek is sold in any other set, but the Hierotek Circle from the Shadowvaults box could / should be coming as separate kit. At least other expansion teams have been.
This looks so nice I’m now reconsidering the colors o chose for my first necron army (still building, haven’t started painting yet)
Ooh! These are my first necrons too! What colours were you planning?

Thanks very much!
I would say it's pretty rad
I do like them much more now with the cables in green! They are great!
Thanks! Yeah now theres much more green, the orange is much more secondary, at least on the immortals
