Rusty Regiment part 3

Yes there will be more to come, and yes I know this figure is not very rusty. In Fact not rusty at all. The reason for the lack of rust on this one is very simple. This is a Necron Lord. As we all know nobility does not get covered in brown smelly stuff, be that rust or something more organic. So this was not a very lengthy paint job, just a simple change of colour from silver to gold (well gold-ish). As we all know gold does not rust so I have not added any rust effect paint anywhere on the model. There was a slight repair, just drilled and pinned in one place denoted by the different coloured section on the staff of light. (Just above his hand as I know you will want to look for it and why should I make it hard for you. )

I have tried at least in my head to use a colour palate close to how I would imagine ancient Egyptians might use, but deliberately staying away from actually looking at the colours they did actually use.  That is the kind of crazy mixed up way I think as I did not want to make exact copies of ancient Egypt. I used ancient Egypt as the codex has lots of ancient Egyptian names often ending in KH. Which while they may not be authentic names does give them a hint towards ancient Egypt. I have not named my "Dynasty" so far but I am sure I will before the first game.

Tomorrow I will be one of the very few of the Rainham wargames club (3 of us I think) putting on a game at the Broadside show. All the terrain and figures and rules and knowledge this year is down to Tim so I can take no credit for any of it. But if you want to come and say hallo you will be more than welcome, BUT I must warn you that this time I am not bringing any home made fudge. NONE at all.

While at the show I do have a VERY small shopping list:
  • 1 pack of Redoubt figures for the French Indian wars
  • 2 Pots of paint, (I always NEED paint)
  • Maybe a platoon or a squad of 20mm WW2 Japanese for "Chain of Command"
Like I said a very small list, so I wonder what I might actually buy!

Thanks for looking today, maybe a swag post tomorrow night or on Monday IF I buy anything exciting. If not I hope to do a show report early next week.

Thanks for looking today, all the best to you and yours from Clint.

  1. Wonderful painting Clint, and this has been a series of lovely posts. I'm a huge Necron fan. But haven't bought any since GW wheeled out "Failcast" :-)

    1. Thanks Simon. I know what you mean as a gent of a certain age I recall before there was any 40k at all. So like you I am not embracing the changes to the figures or my wallet.
