- In this video I'll be giving a tutorial on how I paint the Szarekhan Dynasty Skorpekh Destroyers. They're great miniatures and tower over primaris and regular marines alike. Their Hyperphase Reap-Blades are a good way of setting the model off with a very simple technique too.

Thank you for the detailed tutorial mate! First models of mine I liked in a while and it's all thanks to your instructions. Both applying Tesseract Glow and painting the blades are incredibly useful for my Necrons!
Cheers FullmetalBrain, very much appreciated! :) Was really pleased with the skorpekhs. I've done a tutorial for an easier way to do the blades than in this video that should be in the Necrons playlist too if that's any use! Glad you've found them useful! :-)
This is the first video i have fully followed all the steps including highlighting lol, normally i skip highlighting because i dont have the extra paints. Cheers!
No worries, cheers Doomguy! Glad it’ll be of use start to finish! :)
Great video and superb paint job on the model, looks amazing! I’m just getting into the hobby and ordered some Necrons to start with. This has given me a lot of ideas and inspiration... If mine turn out half as good, I’ll be chuffed 😉
Cheers EddandJenn, very much appreciated! :) Welcome to the hobby! There's so many great games and miniatures around there's always something excellent to paint! The Necrons are superb, and there's some new ones coming soon that look ace too! :)
I have been using your scheme for my new necrons that I got with my command edition starter set. I realize that this is a sci fi fantasy setting, but I love the realistic natural look of the way that you do necrons. Alot of painters that I see really do a good job with crazy colors, and I appreciate those, but they end up looking like an action figure out of a cartoon. Everything down to your bases make this collection of models look like they really exist somewhere and I love it.
Ahh, cheers Adam, very much appreciated! That's really cool that you think that - it's the look I'm trying to go for, so it pleases me greatly that you've said so! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, and so long as folk keep watching them I'll keep making them! :)
I used a small makeup brush, or any brush would work, to make a white to black drybrushed gradient over the black blade, then used the orange contrast paint for my Mephrit, it took 5 mins and looks much better than my layered attempt!
I was thinking of making a far quicker version of this - I did it in waaaaay less layers on illuminor Szeras. If you find a quicker and more effective way, use that! 🤣☺️ Thanks for watching shaunsprogress! :)
Congratulations and thanks for the video, even if it's 2 years late, following you for a long time, keep it up!!! Felicidades!
Cheers Rafael, very much appreciated! I appreciate the support! :-)
This is an old one, August 2020 for the Skorpekh Destroyer, was one of the first Indomitus miniatures. I couldn't not after the videos before it's release! Wow! Still love that animation! :-)
wow, so awesome looking. well done Sir.
Cheers Colin, very much appreciated! :-) It's such a cool mini, the urge to Necron is growing! haha
Really enjoyed that. Got some good ideas to do mine
Cheers Jono, very much appreciated! :-) They're great miniatures, and seeing some wicked paint jobs for them online. :-)
That really came out good! I just need to get some of those new colors before I start on mine. Very nice effect on the weapons!
Cheers John, very much appreciated! :). Yeah, they're really good and work so well together. I think the colour scheme for the new Dynasty is ace too, it's prompted me to start painting all my old Necrons.:)
Good job
Cheers Alex, very much appreciated! :)
really nice work, I have done very little painting due to our heatwave (did finish one small goblin though)
Cheers Spacetoy, very much appreciated! Oh man, tell me about it. It's not as hot here as it is elsewhere (only about 26') but it doesn't make me want to sit at my desk perspiring all night! haha
@@BrushandBoltgun we had about 5 or 6 days above 30 down near the southcoast... ended up watching netflix in my garden with a beer on evenings
you can say what you like the Runelord Brass Paints looks amazing
It's a proper nice colour isn't it? Really impressed with the new paints! :-) Cheers for watching Dantioch, very much appreciated. :)
@@BrushandBoltgun mate you tought me to paint my Howling Griffons might aswell have the Decency to learn more from you :D
Ah, that's awesome to hear! :) Howling Griffons are superb aren't they? The red and yellow looks so good! :-)
I thought I was following you on IG, just popped on and realised I wasn't! Those Indomitus minis in HG colours are MEGA! :-)
@@BrushandBoltgun wow that really means a lot thanks man!
Great job! I love the new colors of the Necrons. The primer coat is Spray Leadbelcher, right? Greetings, Rob!
Cheers La Biblioteca, very much appreciated! Yeah that's right. Came out weirdly matt (I put it down to humidity when spraying?), but that's what I used. :)
Did you get loads of ads in the vid too? Didn't realise they were auto-adding more than one...
@@BrushandBoltgun
Ah okay, Spray Leadbelcher, perfect! As for the ads, I've seen a couple of them, but I don't care because you do a commendable job with your videos! :)
Haha, ah you're too kind man! I've turned them off on all vids because I'm not a fan of the interruptions. One I don't mind, multiple... pfft! haha :)
@@BrushandBoltgun Thank you! You have brandished the necron blade against the ads !! haha
Haha, well and truly Hyperphased! :-)
There must already be the information somewhere, but how do you prime your necrons ? seemingly not with abaddon black ...
Hey there Nicolas, thanks for watching! I prime them with the Runelord Brass spray! :)
i am loving the tutorial, but i do have a question. the Cryptek Armor shade is no longer available. what would you recommend as an alternative?
Cheers Rob, very much appreciated! :) Now there's a question, I was going to say Agrax Earthshade Gloss, but I think they've canned that too. You could go with Agrax Earthshade and maybe do a patchy second layer to get the lighter and darker patches. Once it's varnished at the end I think it might look very similar. Or a mix of Gor-Grunta Fur and Agrax? There will be a way. I'll have to have a play! :)
@@BrushandBoltguni used the Agrax Earthshade on the Brass and it seems like it may worked, though it also seems to have dulled the metallic shine of the Runelord Brass just a touch. its noticeable when holding unshaded and shaded models side by side.
i goofed up the technique a bit trying it. i didn't realize you had the dark shade of black and the lighter shade of white at the ends of the blades. i did the lighter shade of white more in the middle and darkening toward the black. do you usually use this EXACT method described or do you mix it up? if so, i suppose what i did won't look that bad. i'll definitely watch again for my next Destroyer.
Can you substitute the white for corax white or any other citadel white colour? Also, with cryptek armourshade gloss, could you use the normal one?
Hey, Your usual, thanks for watching.:) Yeah, any white paint should do it. The only difference a non-gloss shade would do would be a matt finish, so it shouldn't make too much difference. I spray them with matt varnish afterwards , so the pics at the end are all matt varnished. :)
@@BrushandBoltgun okay cool!
Thank you fr this tutorial! Looks amazing! What brushes do you use?
Cheers Juan, very much appreciated! :) I tend to use Citadel (small and medium Layer Brushes) and Army Painter (wargamer: character and Insane detail brushes). They've served me well over the years :)
hi rob i like using bassilcanum grey over the joints and the skeleton bits instead of the black Templar
Hey MOB TIES, thanks for watching. :) There’s some great methods of doing the same/similar paint schemes, always best to go with what you like best! :)
Did you spray the undercoat with Leadbelcher?
is there a difference between Runelord Brass and Canoptek Alloy? On screen it's very hard to discern the difference. They look almost identical or am i wrong? Please let me know. Thank you
Hey there M F, thanks for watching. :) Yeah, Runelord Brass is a darker shade than the Canoptek Alloy. It might be the video lighting that's a little off and hides the difference :)
@@BrushandBoltgun i ordered them both and the tesseract glow amongst other things today. I didn't get the armor shade gloss because i don't like using shades because i find they dirty the models and they go from looking rich to those that look like they been smoking crack. I do apply shades but pin wash/panel line type of applications
That works, I know a lot of folk who pin shade and lots who shade the whole model. It depends what effect are you going for. :)
the primer is leadbelcher spray?? I'm not sure hehe
Hey xPoKY, thanks for watching. :) It's the Runelord Brass Spray I used on these, but depending on the Dynasty Leadbelcher would be fine to use :)
Awesome video and model. I'm buying the Elite Edition starter set next week. I've grown really fond of the Necrons.
Just a question, though. I really like the Cryptek Armourshade shade but it's a bit too rich for me. Would it dull it slightly if I mix it with contrast medium or water? And if so, which would be the better option, medium or water?
Cheers Charlie, very much appreciated! :) The new Necron miniatures are superb, I started building a force in 8th, then got distracted by Sisters of Battle... The new Necrons really rekindled my love for them though! Quality! :)
Ahhh, you know, I'm not the best person to ask - I don't thin anything unless it's really necessary (like freehanding thin lines where the paint dries too quickly). I'm not sure how shades thin. :-| Hopefully someone on here will know though! :)
@@BrushandBoltgun Hey mate, really appreciate your response.
What I love about this hobby is the trial and error aspect so i'll just try my luck and see what works.
Subbed, BTW.
@@Andy-ok7wy Since its a shade, I'd try Lahmian Medium, though what the Eavy Metal Team does is the shade, then layer Runelord brass back over it some, keeping the dark areas dark (then highlighting with Canoptek alloy and Stormhost silver)
The Runelord brass looks good. What is the coverage like? Would you recommend it? I’m not a fan of 40k but still love these tutorials. Cheers 👍
Cheers Mark, very much appreciated! Also thanks again! :-) I really like it, it seems to give a really good coat (which over a metallic is pretty good), but it's really smooth, so if you need to touch it up you can't tell it's had a few layers. :-) I recommend it. :)
What do you play/paint? :)
How long did that take?
Appreciate the pai t job. Didnt appreciate the 18 ads you hit me with in a 27min video :(
What?! I thought they were automatically putting 1 ad somewhere in it. Multiple ads would do my head in. There won't be midroll ads anymore, I've just turned them off, and turning off for all others too! Many thanks for the kind words despite the interruptions! :)
This is a great video, but it would be better uf there were not 8 ads in the 27 minutes it takes to watch it.
Cheers Roy, very much appreciated! :) I didn't realise they were automatically inserting that many ads into videos, so apologies for that. I'm disabling midroll ads from now on so it is ad free. :)
@@BrushandBoltgun I believe CZcams has done it to everyone from what I have saw the last couple if days. It seens to be every video from every content creator. Brilliant work as always though from you! Love those blade transitions.
Ah cheers Roy, I'm glad you liked the vid. I've turned the midrolls off because I don't like loads of interruptions. If there's any more in the future it's my absent mind... haha! :)
Painting is great but don’t like the model at all..
Cheers Steve, very much appreciated. :) I wasn’t too keen when I first saw them, but in the flesh I really like them. :)
