Great tutorial. For those wondering what colors to use. just add white to your blue. I added white until it looked like how it looked in the video, and a final layer of pure white. Dont need a wet pallet, just mix on whatever you have on hand. Just did this, looks great. 10/10 would recomend
Magos Rhodes also does a good plasma tutorial over at GW's official channel, only his looks like a plasma gun in regular use rather than a plasma weapon that just rolled a 1
Loved trying this technique out work amazingly with my guardsmen, I used caledor sky, lothern blue, I then put an extra layer in with baharroth blue, finished with white scar hope this helps anyone wondering what colours to use
Very useful little trick that even beginner painters can learn. Thanks for sharing and helping other painters, especially newbies learn the secrets of painting figures.
About six steps: Dark green basecoat. Green wash/shade. Medium green drybrush. Lighter green drybrush. White/near white green highlight. Green glaze/GW glow paint.
What are these miniature battle board games? I've been watching painting videos, and videos of these little figurines and detailed battlescapes keep popping up. Where's the hype at fellas?
Look into games like Warhammer 40k, Warmachine, Bolt Action. I think those are some popular ones, you can get them for fantasy, sci-fi, historical, any kind of setting you could imagine. Check for your local board gaming store or GW store and go ask the guys who run the shops about all of it if you're interested, they'll generally offer you a few test games to see if you like it.
You mean Games Workshop's tabletop wargames, Warhammer Fantasy [Sigmar] and Warhammer 40,000? Well, this video shows a gun from Warhammer 40,000, a sci-fi tabletop wargame, namely, a dystopian far future filled with many races and armies, it was founded in the 1980s, and Games Workshop was founded in the 1970s, making it one of the first -- and greatest -- modern tabletop wargaming companies. You can see my channel for more on the matter of Warhammer 40,000/Games Workshop. My RUclips channel is 95% Warhammer-based, and I also have a Tumblr and Flickr by the same name. I plan on making some Warhammer 40,000 lore and history videos soon, as well. Although I don't play the game itself, I only build dioramas now.
Almost worth going back and redoing my plasma weapons. I did a green wash over an off white paint which looks OK. Then there's this. I got Ultramarines Blue and White, what is the middle color?
+Malvisk No those would be acrylic paints. Much easier to work with than enamels. Easy to mix and cleaned/thinned with water. If you're new it's definitely the type of paints you want to start with.
you can use any kind of blue - white spectrum. I did the same technique with Cobalt Blue by mister hobby, then I drybrushed Calgar Blue citadel and finished with 50/50 mix of Calgar Blue and Lifecolor White. It is almost as good as the one in the video.
you could do this with different shades of turd if you really wanted to... all you need is a bare minimum of 3 shades, a dark, a medium, and a light ... infact the same goes for painting anything not just glow, the only difference with glow is the light spill + building up to a white highlight for intensity. nothing else matters

Very refreshing to see a glow effect WITHOUT A FUCKING AIRBRUSH
I could only like your comment once :(
we shall like aanler's comment in spirit of doom doomd's comment

doom doomd yes!
I ALWAYS GET SCREWED OVER WITH PAINTING TUTORIALS AND THEN THEY FUCKING WIP OUT THE AIRBRUSH!!
Good tutorial. The mold line was driving me bonkers.

Thank you!
Man this relic of a video but it's still super useful! Just wait for 2024 when this video will say 10yrs under it.

that was really cool! I'm going to use a similar effect on my Gundams and Macross figures. thanks for sharing!
You don't state what the 2nd colour is
Junge machst du schon lange Videos Respekt
I have 10 combi plasmas to paint for a squad, so this is going to help immensely! Thank you, great vid!
Super simple, quick and good looking!
Such a quick an easy effect. Very nice!
Way easier than the blending technique I've learned. Will have to use it on chaff troops.
Great vid :) Keep it up, i learn heaps from your vids
Much better that warhammer tv one gj
Thanks, man. So simple and look great.
Was this for necrons
Thanks for the Tutorial you saved my Army!!!
Whoa, the “hey guyyyyys” hasn’t changed.
nice work, simple and looks great!
Really cool - Going to try this on my Tau weapons.
Too bad you say nothing of the colours you use after the obvious blue!
he doesn't say if it's a dry or a layer

@@TheCliffstudios I made a post on Pinterest 4 years ago and still get comments on it, this video is as old as it is and still gets comments.
Thank you so much, worked extremely well for me!
As always great tip!
Nice job
Clever idea.
Terrific! What were the exact colours you used?
oh dude great tip!
Awesome vid :) I could apply this technique to purples for my CSM so thanks :)
nice work
Great tip, very helpful :)
Thanks boy
Thanks !
How would you suggest taking this approach with green plasma? Yellow dry brushing? working up to white would make it minty.
About six steps:
Dark green basecoat.
Green wash/shade.
Medium green drybrush.
Lighter green drybrush.
White/near white green highlight.
Green glaze/GW glow paint.
great stuff!
Awesome! Whats the second colour?? :)
Legal de ver.👏☺😀
Nice!!!

Michael Sanchez this specific vid is for a sci if wargame called Warhammer 40,000.

I'm newish to painting, could you do a how to paint Cadian Imperial guardsman?
Almost worth going back and redoing my plasma weapons. I did a green wash over an off white paint which looks OK. Then there's this. I got Ultramarines Blue and White, what is the middle color?
Nice, i will try on gauss array :D
The area between the grills is white. All the vids i see have this reversed
Completely new to painting miniatures. Is that enamel paint?
+Malvisk No those would be acrylic paints. Much easier to work with than enamels. Easy to mix and cleaned/thinned with water. If you're new it's definitely the type of paints you want to start with.
Decent
Cool tip. :>
wow what a great tutorial, i wonder what colours he used............................. he didn't say.
still didn't find out the colours used XD
What do you use for a green plasma effect?
it so cool :)
Which colours is he using?
Nice. I use orange since everybody uses blue...but still, nice.
nice tutorial but holy moldlines batman
How does turned off plasma gun look like?
cold you write the name of the paint pleaze
sickkkkkkkkkkkk...thxs
I think its nice but it could have been more subtle and next time please show what colors you use.
Nice, A simple easy tutorial that works and looks great...

Coils not grills:D

If you refuse to describe the actual colours you used, I'm afraid this tutorial isn't very helpful.
+Myes Same. Didn't describe colors used. Cannot use.
Ultramarine blue, sky blue, white. You're welcome.
It's about the technique not the colour. it would work with many different colours. just go from dark to light and you'll get the effect :)
