Hi all,
Well, I've got Necron fever and to me nothing says Necron better than ominous green glow. I have some scarabs on my computer desk and the green light from my router was shining on them in the dark and it just looked awesome, so I've decided that this will be my paint scheme.
This brings me to the dilemma - do I paint a nice silver paint scheme and get some high output LEDs to put the green glow on the models or do I push my painting skills to the limit and try to do some directional lighting on the models with paint.
The LED method seems much easier overall (although fiddly in some cases and hard to find a place to hide the LEDs in others) but the idea of the army ACTUALLY glowing green is cool. However, I'm worried that under the bright lights of a store the effect will be only marginally noticeable.
Ideas?
