Nice work.  Wondering what you used for the glowing effect on the axe rune?

Hi, Cheers for the comment

The axe was pretty straight forwards. Using thinned paints I started with khorne red, followed by evil sunz scarlet. I added kislev flesh to evil sunz for the first highlight and then pure kislev as the edge highlight. thinned evil sunz was used for the slight glow on the blade.

That's it really. I tried to keep it simple

Cheers matey, totally flattered! 

To be honest I followed the painting tutorial from Warhammer TV for the flesh initially. Using thin coats over a black undercoat. Rakarth flesh in 2 coats followed by flayed one flesh in 2 coats. the aim to get a nice smooth skin. After this I washed it all with reikland flesh shade, but thinned with lahmian medium to keep the colour less vibrant. after this it was a case of layering flayed one flesh where I wanted it and working up to pure white in the highest spots. I then added another layer of shading in the really deep recesses using firstly carroburg crimson and then druchii violet, thinned again, to alter the skin tone.

And that's it to be honest. Just took my time and thinned my paints. I've learnt to be very...more patient with my painting...

Thanks for your comment.

I find myself using the colour pallet a lot more and using thin layers instead of solid hits of colour. 

Also letting the sculpt dictate the paint effect has helped me. The lines and curved of the detail really help in making colour choice.

Do I think I'm better? I hope so! AoS has really reignited my hobby mojo and I am enjoying painting again

My problem now is to go back to my models I painted a few weeks ago and bring them up to par
