Glaive Encarmine

Hey guys, it's been a while. I've been tackling the daunting task of painting up my SG units in hopes they'll be elite again in 8th. I've done some reading and can't find a solid description of the appearance of these relic weapons when in use. I decided to go with a red glow instead of the traditional blue of common power weapons, and wanted to see what you all thought!

I know I'm not that great. I blame shaky hands

Haven't seen that before. What was your recipe? As for the model, don't make excuses as there's nought wrong with it :)

I appreciate you saying so! It's just a base of P3's Pig Iron then followed by Citadel's Spirit stone red at the power supply/hilt blended to a fade of Bloodletter glaze.

The more I look at it the more it looks like blood to me.  I don't necessarily have an issue with that, given they're used by Sanguinary Guard.  I usually use Blood for the Blood God for a  blood effect on chainswords etc.  Anyways, I like the idea of the blood red glow being a result of channeling the Great Angel's fury.

I think adding a rich of pink and white right around and then on the power lines in the sword might give it a more if a glow effect rather than just the red.

 

Otherwise, great idea and it looks good!

I was actually considering this.  Its good to have some other input as well.  Do you think blending to orange and then a dot of white would be sufficient?
