First I painted the blades gunmetal metal. then I washed them with blue shade. I panted the patterns with mithril silver and highlighted the edges with the same colour. All colours are from Vallejo.

Thanks for posting them.

I know your problem. Inks and washes are very helpful. Thinned down black ink allways helps to define metal parts. Brown ink for rust effects. For magical glares blue, green etc...
