Seahawk's Nekthyst Dynasty

Recommended Posts

Greetings! Looks like I have the privilege of starting one of the first threads in here.

 

This will be showing off my Nekthyst Dynasty. I've only ever found one blurb about them from the 5th edition codex, but I really liked where it could lead. Basically, they're known as betrayers and are not trusted at all by other dynasties. That left the door open for the oddball units! So, here we go...

Bender (my Adepticon team was themed around Futurama characters, so he was a "counts-as Illuminor Szeras", hence the laser pistol)

Roberto (used as a Flayed One)

Flayed Ones (I figured they'd be attracted to the fighting; plus they were really freaking good in 7th)

Deathmarks (I knew my dynasty wasn't too good to hire assassins, so they did)

I think this is my favorite because it was so fun to light up.

 

As I paint more I'll post pics in here to continue the thread.

Hmm, the board doesn't auto-resize them anymore? Yea, I can reduce.

 

To achieve the Nekthyst dynasty colors is a simple thing.

 

- Black primer

- Rustoleum Camouflage earth brown zenithal spray

- Army Painter Warpaints Dark Tone wash

- GW Shining Gold light drybrush

- GW Burnished Gold highlight drybrush

 

That's for the majority of them at least. The characters have more fine stages.

Bloody hell, I haven't yet written my blog post about it! I'll write it tonight; the link is in my sig.

 

 

[edit] I've now written it and it's ready to read! Guess it didn't take as long as I thought...heh

:facepalm:   

 

They are painted that way because those are the colors of the Nekthyst Dynasty! :lol:

"During the Necron Wars of Secession, the nobles of the Nekthyst Dynasty earned reputations as betrayers and traitors, a result of many broken alliances with other Necrontyr Dynasties. Though these events occurred long ago, the taint of dishonor still hangs over the Necrons of the Nekthyst Dynasty and they are fiercely distrusted and disliked by the Phaerons of the other dynasties."

Thanks! I couldn't bring myself to get the failcrap ones for bunches of monies, and they were stuck in monopose. These I was able to adjust the claws enough to get variation at least. Acquiring them wasn't easy...ha.
