Very nice. I like your attention to details like the wave pattern on the swords’ blades 8)

Can I say "very nice" too?   lol

They are beautifully done, though. I love the chap in the Hellboy mask  :-*

Thanks Guys! The horned one is also my favorite. I hope Werner Klocke will do some more asian themed stuff for Reaper.

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.

I use Vallejo Steel and Silver and even if I mix it with gray you can barely see any highlighting, specially in photographs :( I love the blue glare on those swords.

They look great.  I have always wanted to paint up some Samurai and these are just what I would hope mine would turn out like.

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...
