Yes, that's consistent with my fluff. When the sternguard isn't called up, they go back into the ranks.

I'ts over-highlighted because eventually the whole thing will get a heavy wash in Nuln Oil, which will tone it down quite a bit.
It... pretty much looks like it's glowing in RL too.

OK, so maybe I overdid it a bit... sue me. I'm using the quad gun as an example for an article I'm writing... so the gradients need to be screamingly obvious.
The barrels? Bright red/orange with glowing OSL on the surrounding green bits as if they're red hot from repeatedly being fired.
OK... I jest. Probably just boltgun metal.

Alternatively, the easiest way to do this would probably to take some of MajorTom11's heat airbrushing that he did on his necrons here:

Damn straight... you people are crazy!
Base is done.
I've done some research on the glowing gun barrels thing. I get the impression that if you shoot the gun until the barrel glows you've kind of ruined the gun.

The amount of work you put into things like the quad gun which most other people (myself included) would rush through is astounding. Really good job.

I'm glad you feel that way Anpu! Helps make all the work worth while.
I must admit... looking at everything laid out, I think this is the best looking army I've ever put together. I'm looking forward to getting it finished up. Speaking of which... work on the gun is progressing. Man this thing is really detailed & complicated. Hopefully a pic later on today for you.
