Get ready to paint some glowing runes on your miniatures. Lots of weapons and creatures in the Warhammer universe need glowing runes. Learn how to paint them here!
Next Level Painting is doing it again with some secret Eldar painting techniques. The focus will be on painting glowing runes, so get ready to add some shiny Xenos flash to your models. This tutorial will run down some simple glowing runes effects that you can use on your miniatures.
A good way to start is to fill in the runic lines with an ivory or off white color. Keep it loose and moist to keep it in pre-shade mode. To get the glow effect, start with some D&D Green Flame paint. Get it nice and thin to start the glazing process on the runes.
After building up a few thin coats, grab some D&D Feywild Emerald paint to trace the border of the runes with a green glaze. Build up a nice perimeter to give the effect of the glowing rune. This will turn the focus to the center of the rune, where the glow originates.
Grab the initial dark green and get some of it on your paintbrush. This will serve as another glaze to bring the glow together. Dry off the excess moisture and glaze your rune. Next, grab your highlight green mix to further glaze your rune to create a subtle transition of color.
And there you have it; glowing runes! Your airbrush is a valuable tool in your hobby tool kit, but painting on glazes with your brush can achieve similar results to get your glowing runes to the Next Level.
