You're welcome Boris! Glad you found it useful :) You can get a lot done with just a brush, that's for sure.
What I love about sandy/dusty Tomb Kings and these kinds of Necrons is that drybrushing actually makes the model look better, due to the rough texture actually being desirable. So, rather than being a method that sacrifices the quality of the paint job for time and ease, drybrushing actually ends up being an all-round win. This applies to wooden/bark things like Sylvaneth as well...
I loved this tutorial! I've wanted to try a glow effect on my minis for a while and this is perfect!
This video was exactly what I was looking for, for my newest minni. Thanks!

Thanks Vinnie! That's very kind of you to say :) Glad you're getting a bit of inspiration from my videos.
This is absolutely the theme I'm going with for all the new Necrons in the 9th edition starter box set. I fell in love with them the moment I saw them on one of your battle reports. Though I'm considering making a couple modifications and would like your thoughts. Primarily, doing the glow effect with Citadel's Calledor Sky, then highlighted with Teclis Blue, followed with a top-most highlight of Ulthuan Grey, and finished with the Guilliman Blue recess shading. I'm also considering PVA gluing sand and rocks to the mini before priming and sponging on some leadbelcher to give the effect of areas that the caked-on sand is starting to come off.

Yo! That's true, it certainly is a big step, but it's not a necessary one. It's really just a time saver, and lets you do some easier tricks with colour and light transitions, but those are all basic techniques. Getting "good" with an airbrush takes just as long, if not longer, than getting good with a brush.
Great video with detailed commentary 👍🏻

I like the effect you have here, not too over the top. Just needed a refresher as had a long break of a few years from painting. Strangely I seem to be far better at it than I used to be, the Ultramine Primeris guys are coming out really nicely and figured on the hellblasters I would have some fun with a bit of OSL. Hopefully I don't wreck them with the attempted glow! P.S add some tweezers to your painting kit for those pesky hairs :-)
Looks pretty nice I would of liked to see you add the "light" to the 4 ends facing the center glowing thing also maybe working out just a bit of light on those ball joints and on the curve of those hoses would of looked really good.
good leçon , thank you Mate.
