In the next step were used magical blue (VGC) + Space wolves grey (GW) again your stroke is getting smaller. The highlights continue with Magical blue (VGC) but now we start to decrease the area painted leaving some of the previous color showing.Īt this time there is no need to be overcautious when painting since this will make the effect more real. Now begins the highlighting of the reactor by brushing just the lines that define the several rings of the reactor with a mix of Necron Abyss (GW foundation) + Magical blue (VGC) and the bottom of the reactor, leaving always the darkest parts untouched. The result is almost unnoticeable but in the end will give you the blue shine needed to stand out from the black. This was made painting always three levels: top ring, middle ring and bottom of the reactor (fig.2) Next all the recesses were painted with Necron Abyss (GW foundation) leaving the rest of the reactor untouched. Then I decided my jump packs should look like this but in standby mode, I didn’t want to sculpt the flame.Īfter I painted the jump packs and gave them a dirty look with black and Smoke (VGC) they looked a bit boring So I remember just how fantastic is the effect of a welding torch when in use, something like this:

I’m painting an assault squad form my Imperial Fist Army and decided to give it an extra touch to the jump packs, usually we give them the burnt effect some battle damage and we are happy, but what about give them something more? This is a little tutorial on how to paint OSL to give a little color to your assault packs, giving them a brighter and yet a very real effect making them unique in a table without spending lots of time, since the end result can be achieved in more or less than 15 minutes to a full 5 man crew.
