Hello, I started a Space Marine project, no actual chapter or book yet. Mostly just having fun with painting and converting.
This is my first attempt with space marines and I have a question. As of yet with previous projects been unable to get a "glow" effect to look right, most notably off of plasma guns.

Here are the models so far, what I was hoping to ask for is how to make glow effects for force weapons, and the reflected glowing i have seen other perform on models carrying plasma guns

Very nice scheme and wings! just try some more edge highlighting on the armor and plasma and power weapons to get that glow effect
