Written instructions: -Basecoat with Thousand Sons Blue. -Paint/glaze half of each side of the blade with Temple Guard Blue. -Glaze Gauss Blaster Green toward the tip, furthest from the Thousand Sons Blue. -Glaze Incubi Darkness on the opposing side, running in the opposite direction. -Enhance this shadow by glazing Abaddon Black towards the tip. -Edge highlight carefully with Gauss Blaster Green.
