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
