Wow, the whole model is amazing but the sword really stands out. Love it.

Thank you. The blades are a bit of a headache, but they're worth it!

Great jo b as always!
Question: How did you make that blueish steel? Is it the Runefang, Arsurmen Blue and tons of layering?

Thanks!
As usual I go for a simple and fast approach: Leadbelcher Base, Asurmen Blue Wash, 1 (or 2) Iron Breaker layer(s) and Runefang Steel highlights. That's it.

Makes sense. The steel is pretty dark, a leadbealcher base is the way to go. Yes. Runefang as the very last highlight... should have seen that coming!
It is hard for me to know which colors they are, i am not using the GW palett anymore (Vallejo is easier for airbrushing)

Yes it's difficult if you are not familiar with the colours. I myself prefer regular brush work, it's more satisfying.

I think both are awesome! But it is true, blending and transitions are more impressive as brushwork rather than airbrushed!

Dunno, it's just that I never really liked airbrushing, not even when I studied illustration.
Don't get me wrong, you need mad skills to use effectively an airbrush, so I do respect the technique, it just isn't for me.

Like Everything, thats a Personal decision. I like it a lot. When I started painting plane models this tool made my models look sooo much better.
It does crave some practice to use it. But I feel using the airbrush is more a craftsmanship than talent.
