Ben, From the M4H team and on behalf of our beneficiaries - Thank you for your support and for creating this video. Well done for making and painting those fantastic miniatures, the ebay winner will be over the moon to receive them... Sterling advice on getting regular sleep and to hear you addressing good mental health.
If you wanted an easier way to do some very interesting things for a look. Prime with a flat black, dry brush with a bright neon color, use the same neon for the rim of the bases, use a bright glow effect for anything that would be lit up, then clean up the top of the base with a flat black. You could also swap the drybrush for edge highlighting for a similar effect, though it has a bit more work. You end up with a pseudo-wireframe look that looks a lot like older videogames (such as the unit frames in the original Starcraft) with the base forming the unit selection ring. Or something from a computer display. Minimal, but if done right A friend of mine did that for all of his xenomorphs with the old Prodos AvP game and the current Aliens game. He was originally inspired by the old Kenner Aliens toys...
Massively appreciate hearing you talk about prioritizing sleep and mental health! Great job with these and big props to you for giving so much of yourself to this charity 👏
I like the diesel-punk style paint job on the Necrons; it is very different to the normal rotting-robo-mummies look. I'm surprised that you woke up with your eyebrows intact; going to sleep around Luke.
I’m happy enough with how they turned out. Wish I’d done a test model first just to make sure it all went to plan. I think Luke was just as bad as I was at that point - we were all exhausted!
Awesome work on this challenge, Benji, even if you needed a little nap. It's Tahoe impressive that you got an entire Necron starter box finished in only 24 hours and they really look good! Also, Luke's mountain came out looking really impressive too! 🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the great work! ~ Wolfbrother Methos
That sounds like an awesome charity. I’ve been in the CAF for 36 years and I find miniature painting is an excellent way to ease stress. (I’m NOT trolling for anything, I’m fine and don’t need any support) I can see how something like this can help my brothers and sisters in arms. Is there a Canadian branch of this charity? Thanks 😊
Thanks for commenting man! it really is a fantastic cause. I have no idea if there is a Canadian branch I’m afraid - you might be best off reaching out to Malcolm at Models for Heroes. He may have some contacts a bit closer to home he could put you in touch with 😊
Haha! Thanks so much man! Both are cool forces - maybe start with Dark Angels and once you’ve got an army of them you could start collecting Necrons too!
