Hey Warhipster wanted to let you know i've finished my silent king following your video and by far its the best model i've painted thanks for the effort of making the video!
Yes, absolutely You'd want to switch the colour palette over to something Like Talassar Blue, and Ultramarines Blue probably a highlight of something like Blue Horror and then potentially a really thinned down Akhelian Green or a Super thin Leviadon Blue over all of it to get it to be bluer than it is here.
I reckon you could absolutely do that! I'd maybe try a tester model or two first to see if you like the result before committing to it on something the size of Szarekh.
out of curiosity I tried using Volupus pink its not as smooth(brush marks) as your Akhelian Green coats, did you thin it or could it possibly just different paints?
I love your videos but I honestly can’t help feeling like the way you apply the turquoise is such an ineffective way of edge highlighting. If you go over it, it screws it up. Seems a much better idea to highlight with incubi darkness or something
It can create a really nice highlight, though I dont do it for everything. It can be unforgiving if you mess up. I have used etherium blue or grays etc to add an edge highlight instead for some parts
On something as big as him you're working with such a large area that the highlight that the Terradon turquoise provides will shine through unless you actively apply a lot of black templar over the top of it. You could highlight with Incubi Darkness or even Sotek Green for a really bright highlight but honestly with the surface area you're working with it's a lot of effort. You're right though on smaller models it can be annoying and can sometimes be counter productive. There's no right or wrong answer after all!

Job well done. Thank you again. I am really liking the choice of intro music.
Glad you like it! It was this or some sort of Moulin Rouge esque thing as he does look like he's about to start a musical number...
Absolutely FANTASTIC, sir!!! Thank you for sharing your work!! Truely inspiring to me!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You are so very welcome! :D

Nice work! I'm glad to hear that. I've got the Void Dragon on my to do list if he's part of your future plans too.
You deserve so much more views !!!
Thanks! We're getting there!
Time to start painting mine!
Void dragon soon too!
Perfect choice of colour for the menhirs. I've been fallen in love with them and going to copy your choice for my model!
That’s ace to hear! If you post it on Twitter or Instagram at all please be sure to tag me!
Thank you for this tutorial! Absolutely stunning and so easy to follow! I am very happy with my Silent King now
That’s fantastic to hear! If you’ve posted it to Twitter or Instagram at all please tag me, I’d love to see it!
Thanks for the vids really helped me out a lot. Just finished my Szarekh after a month of painting
Glad I could help
Spectacular! Any plans for recording battle reports so we get to see this bad boy in action?
Many plans! I've just got a lot of terrain to buy, build and paint. And then have someone over to face his wrath!
This is fantastic work, and I love the effect on the menhirs. Any tips on how to achieve this if I'm using blue rather green for my energy colour?

@@Warhipster awesome. Thanks man. Happy New year.
Absolutely love this!
Thanks so much! I had a word with the Menhirs, they absolutely love you too.
Did you just use super glue when putting everything together when it was painted and was the bond any good
Yep just a tiny dot of super glue on the toons riding the throne and it's held absolutely fine. It's been through a house move and everything.
Mind-blowingly good looking, as usual! When can we expect a full army showcase? (goes for your blood angels too!)
Soon! I've got some ideas on how to do this, I also need to paint the rest of the Necrons first!
Hello, can i replace primer grey seer by leadbelcher primer for a « shiny » style ?
I reckon you could absolutely do that! I'd maybe try a tester model or two first to see if you like the result before committing to it on something the size of Szarekh.
How would you do an orange glow in lieu of a green glow?
