Since Night Lords are a dark blue I didn’t want to go with the typical turquoise or light blue traditionally seen on Plasma Guns. I wanted something warmer to contrast and offset the dark blue power armour.

 

I checked the ever handy Warhammer TV on Facebook and hybridised these two videos together for what I was aiming to achieve.

Here are the finished results on two models. The Plasma effect on the Obliterators are complete but the models overall are not done. Below are examples of finished models with finished Plasma effects.

I’m very happy with this one. Note that it’s a recycled picture from a previous entry, reused as a reference example. It is relevant, after all. I’m very happy with this one. Note that it’s a recycled picture from a previous entry, reused as a reference example. It is relevant, after all.
This one could have turned it better. It looks better in person though This one could have turned it better. It looks better in person though
