What Immortals looks like

Colour schemes

Necrons — Immortals

Beginner · 4 areas

The Warrior recipe with brighter metal and a wider energy channel — a good place to practise the glow before committing to a whole phalanx.

Necrodermis

Leadbelcher Citadel
Nuln Oil Citadel
Necron Compound Citadel
Runefang Steel Citadel

Basecoat the whole model Basecoat — Leadbelcher over black, or straight from a Leadbelcher spray — Necrons are the fastest army in the game to base.
Shade hard All-over shade — Nuln Oil over everything. Living metal wants to look tarnished, not polished.
Drybrush the ribs and skull Drybrush — Necron Compound across the spine, ribs and cranium, then Runefang Steel on the sharpest edges only.

Tesla carbine

Basecoat the energy channel Basecoat — Immortals carry a wider coil than a Warrior — leave the outer ring dark.
Build the glow outward Layer — Warpstone Glow, then Moot Green kept to the centre of the channel so the edges stay dark.
Hot core and glaze Glaze — A thin line of Gauss Blaster Green down the middle, then a Tesseract Glow glaze over the whole channel.

Bronze plating

Pick out the chest and shoulder plates Layer — Warplock Bronze separates an Immortal from a Warrior at arm’s length.
Shade and verdigris Recess shade — Agrax Earthshade into the recesses, then the smallest touch of Nihilakh Oxide in the deepest corners.
Highlight the bronze Edge highlight

Tomb world base

Martian Ironearth Citadel
Ryza Rust Citadel
Abaddon Black Citadel

Crack the surface Texture — Martian Ironearth applied thickly cracks as it dries — thin patches will not crack at all.
Drybrush the plates Drybrush — Ryza Rust across the raised earth to warm it, then Terminatus-dry ochre if you have it.
