Awesome! Mind me asking what paints you used? I'm considering starting a Necron army at some point and love the vibe of these.
Necron Body:
Dark Purple - Pro Acryl
Macragge Blue - Citadel
Magic Blue - Game Color
Voidshield Blue - Army Painter Warpaints
Full cover with the dark purple, then "directional color" ) akin to a zenithal prime. Each new layer gets smaller, to just highlights with the voidshield.
Energy glow:
Screamer pink - Citadel
Bold titanium white - Pro Acryl
Magenta fluorescent - vallejo model color
"Gold" Accents on characters:
Mephiston red - Citadel
Gryph-hound orange - Citadel
Trollslayer orange - Citadel
Dorn yellow - Citadel
Thanks to its transparency, it is easy to use the Magenta for simple "object source lighting" effects.
