I already made a glow in the dark undead chaos space marine army: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/214404.page

now I want a new army with lots of lights! I first did sum testing on a guardian:

guardian:

with sum paint:

Farseer!

**biztheclown**

Cool. I'd like to see some details about how you did it or some work in progress pics.

**shogun**

Done a little painting!:

base with battery and switch (blue):

**Flachzange**

nicely done really. i like the scheme as well.

**3ff3ct**

Very cool!

**yermom**

I personally think the lights are too bright and they take away from the models paintjob.

**shogun**

It always looks like that on a photo. In real its not that bright..

**Orlanth**

I would stick with just the Farseer lit up. lit up guardians will make them look possessed.

**shogun**

Maybe the are..

**malfred**

I'd stick with the farseer just because I wouldn't want to switch on 30-50 guys before
every game. And then switch them off again.

**Necroagogo**

Does your opponent get to ignore nightfighting penalties against you?

'If those lights blink, hose 'em!'

Nice work - especially on the farseer.

**Tyrolean**

Awesome farseer, you definitely need to do a LED lighting tutorial for us

**DX3**

I would love to light up my Farseer like this!

Tutorial! Tutorial!

**jamsessionein**

I'm interested in what kind of assembly you have in the base (meaning, battery and such), since I've been having trouble fitting batteries under my own. Any chance you can share?

**Lorgar's_Blessed**

How... Is... This... Possible?

**Death Gear**

Wow great job on the lights

**shogun**

allright a small tutorial.. my englisch writing S**ks so bare with me...

bought sum electric candlelights. you have to use a 40mm base because thats the perfect size for the candlelights electronic device. remove the top from the candlelight and drill a big hole in the 40mm base so that the device fits in the base.

I use sum green (garden) wire and attach a led light (bending)

I dont know the englisch word but i use "schrinking" tubes. You can buy this at a "electro-shop". you have to heat these tubes with a hairblower and then it schrinks and it keeps the wires in place.

I drilled a hole from buttom to head, starting with a small drill en use bigger drills from there. place the led inside the model and then you got to attach the wires to the electronic device (soldering).

hope it helps!

SUPAR KAWAII ^_^

your english is fine.
this is heat shrink tubing and you can probably find it at home depot or radio shack.
