Checkout this awesome Grey Knights that Next level Painting just finished up for a client! It’s pretty hot if you ask me.

Today I have a fast little tutorial on lightning effects on weapons, that is really easy to do. I’ve been painting up a bunch of Grey Knight Purifiers lately for lower point games of 40k, and really wanted the blades to stand out. So after a couple of tries I came up with this quick […]
