Mystical Sword

Hey guys been working on the sword. I didn't do the o.s.l in the end as it would not look right on the mini. There are too many light tones of paint with the silver armor and pale tabbard, and too have a strong lighting effect on it might look a bit odd. The armor would have to be darker in order for the effect to look right so decided to do an energy field effect that was fun too paint. I'm not done on the sword yet though there is some neatening up and a bit of shading to add some contrast although it will be quite subtle it should make a lot of difference. Ive also added a bit of purple in there with the blue to make it a bit more interesting and mystical. happy with it so far. More soon guys  :)
