WH40K - How to paint Power Weapons

Hey guys! As some of you know, i've been working on my plastic converted Vanguard Veterans, and they all have power weapons, so I snapped some pics of a power axe I was working on, and made a guide on how to do awesome looking lightning. Enjoy!

So, base the weapon with chaos black.
Next, basecoat the lightning area with thin layers of regal blue until uniform
Paint lines of enchanted blue in sharp random directions to represent lightning
Go over the enchanted blue with a thinner layer of ice blue for the lightning.

You're done. Enjoy!

POWER SWORDSZ

Ive been trying this new power sword "prototype" for these swords, tell me what you think! If you want a guide, just ask! (also is a picture of my new SM commanders helmet. Opinions?)

2nd WIP blog! (i'll update all WIP's randomly whenever I can) This time, I wanted to try plastic Vanguard conersions, so I bought a set of sanguinary guard. They will look quite sanguiniusy but im going to change helmets and some shoulder pads the first "power axe" and "bolt pistol" are done - and there'll be a pic of the body here too. ENJOY!
