How to paint a Necron Cryptek

[@rexkingsleyang]

Just want to say a big thank you for your Necron painting videos, they've helped me a lot. I've copied your color scheme but put my own twist on it. Keep up the good work.

Really enjoying these painting videos - it’s amazing the difference that Cryptek Armourshade Gloss makes to give that grimdark feel

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Ed, very much appreciated! :) That’s it, it’s such a great shade, I don’t understand why GW are getting rid of it. Makes zero sense to me! 🤦‍♂️😒

Awesome work man. Really do like the look of the Necrons. Keep up the great work.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Wrath, very much appreciated! :) Catching up on comments on my lunch break in work - stupidly busy at the mo so this is a mellow distraction for 30 minutes! :)

Fantastic Rob I do like your Necrons 😎

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Jono, very much appreciated. :) Hopefully I’ll finish them one day and finally use them for battling! Haha :)

Gorgeous!

Cheers Corfe123, very much appreciated! :)

Always love the ‘cron blades, need to get to mine, and practice the blending

[@BrushandBoltgun]

I think this is the easiest way I've found to paint them so far, short from wet blending, but I know I'd make a huge mess of that! haha :)

[@brain0uk]

thank you for this

[@BrushandBoltgun]

No worries Brain, thank you for watching :)

[@naphaneal]

I really don't get, why GW discontinued necron based shade...this video shows the continous necessity for the shade...

[@BrushandBoltgun]

100% this. I think it’s such a great shade! It looks old and battered without any effort, and it’s only a couple of years old. Seems so odd to get rid to me!

[@metalblizzard6024]

Did you retire? Just found your channel and I really love it

[@danielellis3125]

Absolutely love your painting videos so informative. Also you somehow know what model I'm moving onto next 🤣 so will be following this to the letter. Question though what will you be using when the cryptek shade goes ?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Daniel, very much appreciated! :) It's the mystical forces at play, I swear! haha :) That's a toughie. I'm hoping i have enough of the Armourshade, I have about a pot and a half which should have all the necrons covered. After that though, maybe Agrax Earthshade Gloss (which is also going I think)... Will have to keep an eye out on other companies to see what they have. :-\ Will be interesting trying to work without it though! haha :)

[@davecossette101]

Might have missed it in the video but what color primer has been used? Thanks

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Sorry Dave, I've probably missed it from the description (will get it added!)! :) It's primed with Runelord Brass spray. :) Thanks for watching! :)

[@dracosummoner]

Thanks so much for this!

[@Sunnsz]

I feel too much work is put into painting all these diff shades and colors when just painting carefully enough using 4 or 5 colors is the exact same result.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey there David, thanks for watching. :) If you can achieve the same results with 4-5 colours then crack on, would love to see the results! :) As with everything painting, use what is best for you as a painter. :)
