Hey everyone, please could you give me some advice on how to paint things like power weapons, lightning claws, and thunder hammers. I play salamanders so black and orange or fire coloured styles will help a lot.
You want to do a search for Catattafish's tutorials. He's got a thunder hammer tutorial that's pretty much to die for, and his other stuff is full of epic win.

I do my power weapons like this. In your case, I'd either have red be the dark color and orange be the lighter or teracotta be the dark color and red be the light color.
