painting shadowsword

[akillys]

So I bought the shadowsword to go with with my nids. I liked acefaces nids on youtube that look like this static1.squarespace.com/static/575ac9a1ab48de91fcae0e90/57ffad0815d5db0c03b56d8c/5b5b414e70a6ade72fd15666/1538395252668/IMG_20160921_220617.jpg?format=1000w

My lines are not as clean but it looks close. How should I paint the storm sword to match this scheme?

Actually posting the picture helps. That is a beautiful paint scheme.

Lol I tried but couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the help. I just dont know how to paint the shadowsword to match. Pin stripes on a tank would just look silly. There are three colors blue to get that effect. So i thought about blue camo with those colors. Or use the three greens to do camo. Looking for suggestions.

That's the best feathering that I've ever seen on nids!

Again this isn't my work. I couldn't get my actual nids posted. This guy is Aceface's a guy I watch in YouTube. Mine are close but not nearly as clean my hand is not steady enough lol.

Now I really want to se yours. If it's almost as good as the one above it still has to be impressive.

Lol I'll see if I can figure out how to post mine. I havent painted my HT yet. But, I have my neurothrope/ zoanthrope, Hive Guard and carnifex painted. Close probably wasn't the right word choice. A better choice of words would have been, I attempted this paint scheme lol.

I'm still working on this one. I have to glaze the talons and legs, and paint the teeth but my striping has gotten better each time. My first attempt was the zoanthropes. I also have thinner stripes I think.

They will all have clear bases when I'm done thanks to the laser cutter at work 😁
