this is amazing thanks for the vid... i did have a question... im trying to paint a power balde that would look like a lightsaber... what would you suggest how i make it look more enegry like?

[epicfantasy]

I would use a fluorescent paint or a paint that glows in the dark. That would be cool!

[MrGiveuhell]

where do you get the miniature

[epicfantasy]

For the Spartan Miniatures a company called Crocodile Games.

@epicfantasy immortal miniatures also make some decent quality ones and theyre pretty cheap too like £3.50 for a spartan king and 2 bodyguards or like £12 for a 12 person phalanx. If you're still working on thermopylae battle diorama you should check out theyre range its only sold at Northstar figures but theyve a good selection of stuff and theyre focus is historical accuracy

@kreeperrock Thanks for the tip. I checked them out, nice miniatures, they look great.

What brand of paint do you use for those watercolors? I know you don't have a preference, but I'd just like some ideas. I heard watercolors make good washes.

Great video. Thinking about painting my first miniature of a DnD character I'm playing and thought your video was really helpful. The black washing technique sounds brilliant.
