I used Catattafish's 'Paint a Thunder Hammer' technique (which can be found here), but modified it obviously to a sword shape. Let me know what you think.

Thank you very much Catattafish for the awesome tutorial!

I Like It. I am just finishing up some of my Assault Marines and I have a sergeant with a Power Sword. I like the look, I just need to go pick up a couple colors.

I like it alot.

WOW very nice i will have to give this a try

I appreciate the compliments. Just fyi this was done with chaos black (obviously), then enchanted bluen then ice blue, then skull white. I think however, that the look would best be served by widening the enchanted blue to greatly reduce the black and adding in hawk turqoise before the ice blue. That's what I've gleaned from this first try.

Nice application.

Thanks spireland.

Excellent execution on the technique!!!!!!! Thanks for the mention, NICELY DONE!

Thanks Catattafish. It means a lot coming from you. Your Crimson Fists are superbly painted!

Nice work !

Very cool looking sword, I had not seen the T-hammer technique before, but I may have to give it a shot tonight when I get home.

It's really rather easier than it looks. Make sure to watch the tutorial, seeing it done by Cat can explain it better than I ever could.
