Necron Warrior and Scarabs
These are the first finished miniatures painted for a Necron army I'm now starting. While the color scheme is intentionally designed to be fairly straightforwards, quick to paint, replicable, and I don't consider these particular figures "competition pieces," I did put some extra work into them in terms of lighting effects, muted source lighting, and battle damage since these guys are more or less the test figures for the rest of my troops. For those familiar with Games Workshop 40K backstory, my theme for these troops is that they've been in statis on a Tomb World which is now near the present-day Eye of Terror, and thus have slept for millenia while being subtly and indirectly touched by the Warp. While I understand that Necrons are essentially mechanical constructs housing remnants of their former essence, are not linked to the Warp at all, and are made of "living metal" with the ability to self-repair, I thought it would be a neat background for my army and give me opportunity for limited conversion - one of the Scarabs has a portion of its carapace that has been "mutated" by the Warp, for example. Comments and/or criticisms appreciated!
