Cool, I particularly like the paintjob on Njall. The base especially stands out. I think I'll be subbing in some hotter colors for what I have in mind.

"Orkses never lost a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!"

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

You spelt rune wrong.

Other than that, another quality tutorial from you, Cat. If I ever need to do glowy stuff on my Eldar and Menoth I'll try and see if I can do it while changing the colours.

Hope to see more or your CFs at a later date.

This is awesome! This scheme looks like it would work pretty well for Fantasy Dwarfs as well and I've been looking for a good tutorial in that area. Thanks a lot!

Awesome! If i were to try this on my Necrons, do you think snot green as rune base then highlight scorpion green then add skull white would do the trick?

Thanks guys, Bloodaxegit, I would think that would look very cool, just try it out on a piece of sprue and see how it turns out before you apply it to a model!

Interesting, you use a similar paint scheme for your SW armour as myself...though to be honest, I am suprised that it is not more common, given that it was featured in the 3rd edition SW codex as well as the coresponding WD article.

I like how you start by painting on paper to give viewers a large scale view of building up the highlights; a pitty you didn't have a model available to paint as well.

I'll have to try out the rune method you published when I start back on my SW. Should be fun.

Could this work on outset runes? Like the ones of dwarf armour?

Like this guy, only with the glow effect of this tutorial

Excellent. Was wondering how to get this effect. I plan to do it with a more red/orange, but the step by step is a great resource.
