Anrakyr the Traveller

Awakening from stasis-sleep often leaves many Necrons in a state of confusion and slow mental recovery. However, Anrakyr defies this trend – emerging with his consciousness fully intact and a profound purpose driving him: to unite the dynasties once more. This destiny has become his driving force, leading him to relinquish control over his own Tomb World of Pyrrhia and instead command an army that ventures across the stars.

Anrakyr the Traveller, presented in intricate Citadel Finecast form, commands attention with his imposing posture. His colossal warscythe, adorned with an orb, is firmly held in one hand, while a tachyon arrow is mounted on his wrist as part of his formidable wargear. Resplendent with Necron insignia, orbs, and dynastic glyphs, Anrakyr the Traveller stands as the ideal figurehead to lead your Necron forces onto the battlefield.

How to paint the Anrakyr the Traveller set

1. Step 1: Prime the Model
   Begin by priming your Anrakyr the Traveller model with Chaos Black spray. This prepares the surface for paint and provides a solid base.
2. Step 2: Base Coat
   Paint the armor plates of Anrakyr’s model with Leadbelcher. Apply this metallic base coat evenly to cover the armor.
3. Step 3: Shading
   Use Nuln Oil to shade the armor, focusing on the recesses and crevices. This shading adds depth to the metallic surface.
4. Step 4: Layering
   Apply Ironbreaker in thin layers over the armor. This layering technique gradually builds up the metallic shine.
5. Step 5: Highlighting
   Add small highlights using Stormhost Silver. Apply this to edges and raised areas for a realistic metallic gleam.
6. Step 6: Crown
   Paint Anrakyr’s crown with Brass Scorpion to distinguish it from the rest of the model. This regal touch adds visual interest.
7. Step 7: Details
   Use Abaddon Black to paint the intricate details on the model, such as glyphs and smaller elements. This step adds contrast to the metallic surfaces.
8. Step 8: Energy Sources and Scythe Blade
   Apply Soulstone Blue to the energy sources and the blade of Anrakyr’s warscythe. This vibrant color gives the energy sources a distinct look.
9. Step 9: Final Touches
   Check for any areas that need touch-ups or corrections. Clean up edges and refine details as needed.
10. Step 10: Basing
    Consider the base of the model. Apply Astrogranite or another suitable texture paint to create a base that reflects the battlefield. Add additional elements like rocks or debris for realism.
11. Step 11: Varnish
    Finish your painting by applying a protective varnish. Choose a matte or satin varnish to preserve the model’s appearance during gaming and display.
