Scythe's

Finished up my two scythes awhile back.  The cool thing about these guys is that the little bit that makes it either a Doom or Night Scythe go in the same spot and can be swapped out without magnets.  So now I can configure them however I want.  The models went together pretty easily actually and painting them was fairly straightforward.  I continued to evolve my patina technique and worked on making my tarnished gold a little more subtle.  With two of these guys I don't think I would need anymore.  I can see maybe getting another one, but realistically I won't use all of them in the same game so it probably wouldn't be worth my time.

Speaking of purchasing more Necrons, I pulled the trigger and finished getting everything I plan on getting.  5 more deathmarks (so I can have a unit of 10), 5 destroyers, 1 destroyer lord, a ghost ark, and another 10 immortals that I intend on arming with tesla (I'm embracing the lightning).  There are a few special character models I may get down the road, but I'm pretty comfortable saying that I'm done buying robots.  Once everything is assembled I will have just under 4000 points without purchasing upgrades.  Necrons are pretty customizable so I figure all decked out I can get close to 5000 points without much of an issue (who wants to play apocalypse?).

To go along with all of those robots I got a new "Big Beef" bag coming from battle foam loaded up with robot pillows.  By November I want to see how close I get to having everything completed.

ZOOOooooommm!!

I tried washing over the black-green I use to tarnish the gold, it looks more subtle then the work on my monolith, but at the wrong angle is just looks dirty.
