This is purely theoretical as I haven't tried it yet, but I've thought about trying to create lightning effects using strands of glue.
The plan is start with a single line of glue pulled out slightly, letting it dry, starting the next glue strand at the tip of the first, pulling it a different direction, letting dry. Repeat. You could achieve nice looking three dimensional lightnng effects instead of just trying to paint them on (if it works).
I know it needs to be a glue that is rubbery when dried, so it won't just break apart. Again, I haven't actually tried it, but I think it's possible if you use the right kind of glue.

I see where your going with that technique, but I'm afraid it would be just to fragile for anything other than display case only mini's. Any glue that you choose will be just too brittle when dry for that kind of look. Great idea, just don't think it will work, sorry.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

Maybe it'll give you an idea of how to transition between the red to white.

Are you looking for red bolts on a white field, or a red field with white bolts.
I did this for my space wolves.
Its the same way with any color. Paint the claw/sword your base color. Then using white lightning stripes. But keep your paint a little thin so some of the base color bleeds through. Then using a sharper point retrace the lines with a more solid white line. Then I accented any crossings with an even stronger dot.

I tried a black to pure blood red fade with a gloss coat and it looked really nice on chaos termie claws. You could add a lightning effect on top and it would be very Sith like.

Try heating a piece of sprue over a candle until it begins to soften, then pull it apart to stretch it into thin strands. It's an old car modeler's trick to make wires and antennas
