About the Project
I saw an instagram post from Gamemat_eu to caption a photo of a Necron and Gargant and added my caption... and won. So ended up getting sent a start collecting magazine thingy with a Primaris Marine and a Necron Warrior, Having never painted either, that I can remember (painted plenty of old school marines back in the day) I thought let's have a punt...

The prize
This was the prize... a Getting Started With Warhammer 40,000 bookletThe painting
They were push fit, so I stuck the two minis together and undercoated them with white, followed by a wash of Army painter soft tone to show off the detail
The paints used for them… just made up a simple scheme for the marine on the spot (yellow, cream, white and silver) no real thought behind it.
Continuing
After basecoats I applied Army Painter Dark Tone as I wanted to make them a bit Grim Dark, so it was a few passes of Base Colours and Washes to work in shadow and pick up basic highlights… and that was kind of it for the Necron apart from bilious green (yup an old GW Bilious Green… probably a 30 year old pot of paint!) for the gun glow, bit of gold to break up the silver body on joints, spine and back of head and Bob’s your Uncle
I wanted to add weathering to the marine so I applied bits of Dark Flesh (another older GW paint… in fact all my paints are ancient) and silver with dark tone smudges to achieve a grubby battered look.
Didn’t like the moulded bases so it is sand and homemade dead/dried vegetation (aka dyed pencil shaving).
Pretty happy with the overall result on the minis for a quick experiment. Threw on a couple of transfers I found in my bits box and… done
