Hey!
Finally I finished rust part on scythes. Here we have second layer. I used here Valleho Air Rust.
This is the final layer - fiery orange mixed with rust. Please note that photo is too bright.
Final effect on all vehicles:
Brovatar finished modelling bases, Im gonna do them fully magnetized to make them easier to transport. There is also a spot for a model to show embarked unit. Now I need to find cool colour scheme for those desert bases. Any ideas guys?

Very nice desert effect, how did you get it to look that sandy?
The rust though i am not a fan off. It looks too much like paint, and could really use for some rust weathering powders added to them. The rust looks to red, it would look more realistic either more brownish or orange.
You could also vary the rust color so it is less uniform, that would look great aswell. I have found airbrushing blotches of purple ink or wash looks cool!

Hey!
I didn't take pics of all steps but hope to make it clear. I did all the sponge steps on Catacomb Command Barge. Then covered it with Worn Effects Acrylic Fluid using airbrush.
After that I sprayed whole model with GW Skull White. Then using brush I wetted parts of the model - which I scratched using toothpicks, brushes and hobby knife.
Next I'm gonna make metallic parts and use Rust Wash to make it more realistic.
There are gonna be sandy and black pigments, green OSL etc... much work ahead of me.

Now it's starting to come together. Well done.
It's coming together nicely. I would you would have used a silver metal during the sponging steps too, the black showing undersneahth the rust is a bit odd. Looking for more.
How are AK products compared to MIG's? Never used their weathering agents, but it's something I'm considering as some seem quite useful, and easier to apply.

Hey!
I have finally finished bases. Really like those scarabs - wish I had more to put. Special thanks to Brovatar for modelling and sculpting. Those are magnetized - both the place for Scythe and embarked unit.
Below some WIPs, Warriors and Blades still need a lot of work. Weapons for Scythes are almost done - some washes here and there and a little highlight and should look awesome
Next update should be about Scythes. At the end of the project I'll definitely make better photos of the whole army.

Hey!
Here are some new WIPs of Scythes. Its a stage just before green OSL and glueing weaponery. I've added Black and Rust Wash and used black pigment on the engine exausts and Sand Pigments everywhere to make them look like they were just risen from the desert.

Hey!
That was a busy week. I finished the army and attended the first major 6th edition national tournament - 3City Heresy in Gdansk, Poland. Army has won the "Players Choice" award and finished on 6th place (similar roster was first - it probably had better general )
Scythes have really attracted attention.
Those guys were praying for their transport to survive At the end they've held some objectives and almost never have died.
It was my first tournament using Necrons and I never really had a chance to face Overlord with my Space Wolves but holy cow he is OP With mindshackles, 2+/3+ and Warscythe - no one could match him (except other Lords )
Who cares about them? 20 points, no value, no firepower etc. Super fast denial unit that's what those guys are - real pain to deal with them
And another look on bases. People said those are cool - especially the "embarked unit" spot and magnetized sticks for easier transport.
Finally whole army is on ebay now - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170903294421#ht_6264wt_1397. Time for new project!
