Speed Painting Necrons: The Leadbelcher Method
Necrons are the ultimate “after-work” project. You can finish a full unit of Warriors in a single evening if you follow this efficient metallic workflow. No airbrush required.
The Rapid Recipe
- Step 1: Heavy drybrush of Leadbelcher over a black primer.
- Step 2: Wash the entire model with Nuln Oil.
- Step 3: Light drybrush of Ironbreaker to catch the edges.
The Energy Glow
The “glow” is what makes Necrons look alive. Use Tesseract Glow over a white basecoat on the weapon rods and eyes. It is a single-coat solution that looks like a complex blend. Fast, clean, and effective.
