I usually try and make a "lightning" effcet by doing progressively thinner jagged lines of enchanted blue, ice blue and skull white. It looks ok but not as good as i would like.

I see some pics where people manage to really amazing looking coruscating effects on their weapon. Another method that realy caught my eye was the effect on the Glaives encarmine on the sanguinary guards from last months WD.


Does anyone have any tips on how to get good, powerful looking power weapons?

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498078.page GMT Re:Painting Power weapons?

So say i was painting a sword and i wanted a blue effect.....

Paint the whole thing regal blue, then slowly try to blend out to enchanted blue, ice blue and then edge it in white?

Making the blend presumably i start with the darkest colour and slowy add mor eand more of the light colout into it, right?


Undead, you use UV paint or a UV light? Do yo ahve any pics coz that sounds interestign but i can't picture it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498110.page GMT Painting Power weapons? That should do the trick.

I wouldn't. I've heard white gets washed out pretty easily. So start with white and go darker, and make sure to keep it nice and bright.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498111.page GMT Painting Power weapons? WD i.e. the one before Blood Angels (Battle Mission's cover?). They do a great painting workshop on reflective blades that looks amazing. You need blending powers though, which is currently beyond me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290077/1498122.page GMT Re:Painting Power weapons?
