Power Weapon Week: how to do lightning effects by Duke

Hey everyone, this is the last article for power weapon week!  I hoped that some of you learned how to paint a little differently, if not then oh well.  The way I paint power weapons is somewhat similar to how Immortal does his, but I like to add the "lightning effect," to mine.  Read on and Ill give you a step by step on how I do it.  

Its power weapon week!

Not long ago Immortal did a post on his  Death (Star) From Above.  In the comments there was a clamoring for a tutorial on how to do power weapons the way he did it.  Well, I thought it would be a good idea to do a whole week of power weapon posts (we will still do other posts too).  As such, this week each of the writers has written a tutorial on how they do power weapons in their own style. This articles will be:

Immortal: Power weapons with glow effects
Swags: Hellblades
Duke: Power weapons with lightning effects.

I hope you like themed weeks...If so we will do more every so often.  Keep an eye out later today for the first 'power weapon week,' posts.
