There's a quick-and-dirty method I use for power weapons, that I've done before in some of the larger step-by-steps... but I thought it deserved its own post.
Step 1: Leadbelcher
 |
| Coat the weapon involved |
Step 2: White Scar
 |
| Paint lines like electricity flowing along the weapon. I usually cheat the lines a bit to follow edges |
Step 3: Glaze/Wash
 |
| Given that I want this particular Power Weapon to be red, I chose the Bloodletter Glaze, but really you can substitute for any wash or glaze. I've done blues, purples, greens, all to great effect. All other steps remain the same in this tutorial, all you have to do is swap this step out for the appropriate color you want. |
Step 4: White Scar
 |
| As the final step, go back in with the white and pick out some of the lines again. Not all of them, mind, just the areas that you want to emphasize |
