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

After each color is a 50/50 blend with the next color.

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

Coat the whole area in pink. Highlight areas in white. Coat everything (overlap onto the blue) with Magenta fluorescent, as it is transparent.

"Gold" Accents on characters:

Mephiston red - Citadel

Gryph-hound orange - Citadel

Trollslayer orange - Citadel

Dorn yellow - Citadel

Cost area in mephiston. Lightly coat with gryph-hound. Directional color with trollslayer (same direction as the blues), then light highlights with dorn yellow.

Thanks to its transparency, it is easy to use the Magenta for simple "object source lighting" effects.
