The "Oh. It's done," made me cackle, so thanks for that. 😂

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I’m glad. I always hope my humour lands and people get it

[@mirage809]

Necrons are very fun to paint. The official colour schemes go ham with the metallics, but they can work really well with almost any colour scheme. I've seen some really good looking ghostly white ones.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I was surprised how much I enjoyed painting them. I was going to cover none metallic schemes but I felt it would become too much. I recon there will be more necrons videos in the future 😁

[@jperlas55]

These tutorials rock! They have simple enough detailing for a total newbie like me. Many other videos lose me wayyyy too fast.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you.I'm glad you like my content and its been able to help :)

[@MrTpimms]

Amazing work once more Michael, I love that there are clearly multiple options to get similar effects and it’s down to you as the painter to choose the level of detail! Thanks as ever for sharing!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I was really happy with the flow of this tutorial and being able to show the multiple ways you can paint Necrons. I've definitely got more confident in how I want to show how to paint things in different ways and not just in the standard box art scheme

[@ezragreenlees-parrish7292]

What paint should I use instead of iron hands steel on the gauss weapon (I have leadbelcher and runefang steel)

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Leadbelcher is fine, I just use ironhands because that’s just what I tend to use personally 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Ghosutoo]

What paints would you use for a black and purple color scheme? Trying to make the majority of the necron body black with that metal look and a purple glow! Any advice or suggestions?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

really its a personal choice, have a look at what colours are available and what you think would work. all the steps are the same, its just changing the colours

[@MorrowindES17]

Just bought a box set of necrons was wondering what dynasties to paint think I will do the green necron warrior shade green look so cool.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

That’s a classic 👌🏻

[@carrozero9314]

How would you tackle a Necron Figure like Illuminor Szeras?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

there really isn't much dfference, hes just a bigger Necron so I would do it the same. maybe figure out some sub assemblies to make it easier

[@sheaparkersp]

What can you use in place of cryptek armor shade now that it is discontinued? The reikland looks too orange to me

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I’m not sure. I never used cryptek shade. I think it was a gloss shade. You’ll probably find it was a mixture. If your painting a whole army though I would decided on a colour you don’t have to mix to make life easier. Try them out and see which you like. They’re your miniatures 😃 there’s no right or wrong, just what you like

[@MilesFlynn-ez3il]

I like to put blood for the blood gods on the necrons like blood splatter on the face and on the axe blades at the end

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Blood for the blood god is a fantastic technical paint. I want to do a short tutorial on how it can be used 🤔

[@asoisdatt]

Hi there. Thanks for the vid. Well explained and easy to follow. Does anyone have a recommandation on which brush size to use for the highlighting ? I tried various sizes.... but it keeps looking B A D and clumsy....not much control, even with a very detailled one... thx

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I tend to use a small layer or a size 0. When it comes to highlighting it’s just gonna take practice. A brush will only do so much of the work for yah. Any brush around £5 is usually good enough. You can try getting some magnifiers or reading glasses to help see what your doing better.

[@WargamingHistory]

Great stuff

[@Kekton]

I Want to start painint some necrons, like the idea with the shading on the weapons but dont think it would look good in blue. I want to go for a more darkish silver/grey do you can recommend me some paints that would fit for the weaopn casing ? also maybe in the grey, darkish ways ?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Go for Eshin grey. Then dawnstone

[@Kekton]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin thanks m8 i try it :)

[@ImperialDiecast]

what is the difference between fire dragon and trollslayer orange?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

ummm fire dragon bright is a brighter orange, closer to the yellow and troll slayer is closer to the red

[@stephen.s5089]

Would Necron Compund work OK for the dry brush ??

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

absolutely, just make sure to get as much off your brush as possible before dry brushing the miniature. because its mainly pigment it can be sploggy

[@akacenturio500]

Thank you! As a new player, it's confusing navigating through the inconsistent and somewhat outdated GW official guides, and I find yours to be the best ones! I'd love to see an admech tutorial, or something about slapchop!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

The warhammer tv tutorials confuse me as well. Everyone wants to paint things like they look on the box most of the time 🤷🏼‍♂️ it’s one of the reasons I wanted to start my channel. I’m sure I’ll do admech in the future and I ain’t got a clue about this slapchop approach. I’ll just let all the other channels cover it. I don’t think it’s for me

[@akacenturio500]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin Great! Also, again, as a new player, I think a video on the minis contained in the starter sets could be useful. I know that the colours are mostly the same, but even obvious things may be daunting for newcomers. I still have only painted some intercessors and necron warriors because I'm worried I'd mess up the other minis lol

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I have plans to do something with the bigger starter boxes and playing the game. Just need to figure out what I want to do

Great video! I just have one question, how do you paint the glowing eyes? I'm going for necrons with red glowy bits. Is there any way to make it look good? Cheers!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

The eyes are done the same as the Glowing Orbs and I cover painting red orbs in the video :)

[@darknightjester]

My necrons my friends helped me paint they're black and gold in color with my one friend using a little Earth shade on the gold to give it a slightly rusted appearance

[@nothanks1239]

Do you HAVE to paint the colours of the dynasty? Or can you just declare which dynasty you are at the beginning? My necrons are white with ice blue glow. I don't really want to change them.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

No you can use them as what ever dynasty you want. Especially in the new edition where colour scheme doesn’t really effect the rules

@@TableTopReadyKZbin Thanks for the reply. I'm new to this; so much to learn 🙂

[@hankscorpio8928]

This is phenomenal. Do you play as well and if so, do you do this much detail for your entire army?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I do play as well. Not as much as I would like though, I do like to collect armies. It depends on each project to be honest. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. I enjoy contrast and simple highlights on my age of Sigmar stuff because they have so much detail. A marine army I will do to a high standard though. Luckily I get to go all out and push myself for these tutorials and my armies not so much.

These look really awesome. I just started learning about this hobby yesterday. I saw that in some images online (and I think maybe on the box) that some of the Necrons were painted red. Is there a technique to make the paint look scratched/distressed/missing in places? Thanks!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. If you wanted to add scratches and texture, its really easy to do. you can see a google example of this in my ultramarine tutorial as I do this for the power armour.

[@cogthrone9312]

i really want to buy some Necrons as my first ever miniatures but I'm absolutely terrified of wasting my money by messing up the assembly or painting them poorly...

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

you shouldn't let that stop you. thats part of the fun and reward. you can go into a Warhammer store and they will take you through building and painting to give it a try and its free. Buy thos Necrons and enjoy the hobby, you'll regret it other wise. Necrons are a Great starter army as well. I do a beginner video for tutorials that goes into even more detail :) ebay is a great palce to buy cheap necrons as well :D

[@ahrimanmagic]

Necrons are very easy I'm new too just make sure you match the arms with the model your building so they fit and snap into place glue those parts and they stay solid.

[@Malarz-Amator]

Nice vid and channel :) I`m quite new to citadel paints and I see you are using those a lot can you tell me what is the best way to put those paints from pot to pallet? what to use?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, I choose to use the Citadel range because I think its what most people expect to use for Warhammer as it's the Warhammer brand of hobby products. The paints are hands down the best water based acrylics you can get, not only for quality but for variety of colours and different types like the contrast range and shades. I just use my paint brush to put paint on the pallet, nothing special. you can use an old brush for this and keep your painting brush purely for painting, which I really should do to be honest. So if you watch my how to start painting Warhammer miniatures, it goes through the process of paint from the pot to the miniature.

[@Malarz-Amator]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin Thanks I will watch it! I use valejjo and recently start to use some citadel and I can see a difference as you mention in quality in favor of citadel, wish they were using drop bottles but you cant get everything :)

Great video! Would it be possible for you to create a How To Paint playlist rather than putting these videos in your 40k getting started playlist, or add a new playlist that includes just these How To Paint? Thank you. This video is not a getting started video even though it deals with the models in the Indomitus boxed set. Such a video would be based on the basic concepts of Battle Ready and Parade Ready painting levels, not talking about subassemblies and more complex ideas &/or processes. Certainly Parade Ready is getting beyond the Getting Started moniker. I have been enjoying your painting videos and the methodologies used, I would just like to save your playlist instead of each individual video. Cheers.

Why does the Stegadon Scale Green look blue? Is it my TV screen? My eyes? My blue tinted sunglasses? My kindergarten understanding of color?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Scale green is a dark turquoise colour. As well when you start using it as a highlight, the colour it's painted on and the highlight you do after will also effect how it appears. It's just something you get use to and I find it's better to not worry about what colour you think it should look like and just accept the colour it is :P
