What Skorpekh Destroyers looks like

Colour schemes

Necrons — Skorpekh Destroyers

Intermediate · 4 areas

Corrupted necrodermis: the same metal recipe pushed dirtier, with hyperphase blades that need to look hot rather than clean.

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.

Hyperphase blades

Ground the blade Basecoat — Incubi Darkness along the whole blade — darker than the body so the glow has somewhere to come from.
Bring the edge up Layer — Sotek Green then Temple Guard Blue, each a narrower band along the cutting edge.
White-hot line Detail — A fine White Scar line on the very edge, then Tesseract Glow to bleed it back into the blade.

Corroded plating

Typhus Corrosion Citadel
Ryza Rust Citadel

Stipple the corrosion Stipple — Typhus Corrosion around the joints and the underside of the thorax.
Catch the rust Drybrush — Ryza Rust over the corrosion while it is still matt.

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.
Rim the base Detail
