Should I paint the cultist leader's ccw the same scheme as the power sword on the right? It won't actually be a power sword but for aesthetics should I paint it fancy?

I love the effect, the purple is top notch, however I would be inclined to keep that for power swords if that is your general theme.

I have to say it looks brilliant so why not use it.

while the purple scheme is nice, I agree with Brokksamson: save the fancy effects for actual power swords to avoid confusion on the table. wysiwyg and all that

I could do it as blue, maybe just a little bit, to display that it was his commissar's sword before he went renegade? Hrmm, I understand how it could be confusing. However, I blame GW for making this model look like he needs to be wielding something powerful, but in actuality he's a wuss.

Sorry to dredge this back up again. I haven't been able to paint for a while. I moved and just got my painting desk set up again. Here's the semi-finished version. I think it may be a better choice than the power weapons purple effect.
