Necrons
Métal argenté avec énergie verte Gauss. Le plus iconique.
Necrons reward a simple workflow: metallic body, dark wash, then bright green energy. Spend your precision on the weapon coils and eyes because that is where the scheme comes alive.

Tips
Hints for this army
1
Leadbelcher spray is excellent for Necrons because it gives you a strong metallic base in one pass and speeds the whole army up.
2
For Gauss energy, keep the greens opaque enough to stay bright: Caliban Green first, then Warboss Green, then a sharp Moot Green finish.
3
Paint the glowing green effects last. If you slip onto the metal, the correction is easy; fixing metallic paint over finished glow is usually slower.
