marine77 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I recently discovered a method for painting power weapons that really works for me. I have put up a tutorial on how to do so on my blog here: Gone to Ground. I am curious as to what other methods people use. This particular method has proven to be fairly simple and yields a great tabletop result. It can even be tailored by adding more layers of color for a smoother transition should a painter want to use it for more high quality work. Has anyone tried something similar? What were your results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3mpl@r Crusade Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 thanks for the quick intro marine77. I did mine with about 10 colors: chaos black regal blue 50/50 regal enchanted blue enchanted blue 15/85 skull white/enchanted 30/70 skull white/enchanted 50/50 skull white/enchanted 75/25 skull white/enchanted 90/10 skull white/enchanted skull white each color was watered down significantly so I could wet blend and I would do 2 swords at a time to ensure my paint wouldnt dry out completely. turned out really nice, not the best, but it reminds me of henry walker's sharp jagged lightning post. maybe ill post a pic later similar same type of approach you used except I moved my brighter zones around to mix it up a bit. The swords remind me of the crystal swords you could get in diablo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3mpl@r Crusade Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Buy an airbrush and you can get an very nice power weapon in 5 minutes! :devil:Linky: Skip 2minutes and 22 seconds of the video.There you can see a awesome power weapon in abaout 5 minutes ;D wow that looks quite amazing! I'll have to give it a shot with my airbrush. not too sure how I'll do halberds yet, but I'll have to see. I'm thinking I may do that for my terminators and purifiers and keep the other method for PA. As the nemesis weapons power can be linked to a Grey Knights psychic ability, I'm thinking a brighter style like in the video will work well for Grey Knights that have more psychic potential such as terminators and characters. Edit: My results with the air brush. Challenges I experienced on my first try. putting the paint on too thick, and then not giving ample time to dry will allow the masking tape to pull up the paint on a finished blade half. I also lack enough paint pots so after every color for each side I was changing the color, remixing, cleaning. bah. Nest to have a color pot ready for each color (3) youll need.
