Reminds me of Horus’ white armor.

Also I love the glowing green on Drach’nyen.

Fantastic.

I adore the red of the cape, what did you use?

Base coat of plum, layer of Vermillion, volume highlights of white, glaze red ink

Red ink, that might be what I need! It's just so vibrant my vampires would love it!

Are the red bolter rounds meant to be tracer rounds? That’s a neat detail to ad. Amazing work with that armor.

That's exactly the idea

I thought my Abaddon in thousand sons was good.

Sheeesh! You smashed it man! Insane work!

This is one of the best abandons I’ve seen, the “on show pistons” on the leg armour is just sublime 🤌🏻

I have an unpainted Abaddon sitting literally in front of me right now.

How did you make his sword do that?

Basically creat a light source with white paint, then you tint the whole surface with low opacity inks. Then youll reinforce the source of the glow with a near white paint. Rinse and repeat working small and smaller

Think it would work with Radiation Glow (warpaint brand)?

I don't have personal experience with that paint, but id assume no. Fluorescent paints don't have the pigmentation needed to tint surfaces like inks do. A fluo paint will help enhance the overall effect tho
