Your a Huge Inspiration to my Daughter! She is starting a Rainbow Warrior combat patrol thanks you ! Good luck with your channel!

Totally not going to use this on Slaanesh models 👀

Glad to see yet another incredibly talented GW staffer branch out on their own and hopefully start to make the living that they always deserved to. Duncan, Peachy and now Louise. I remember seeing the Sphiranx on display at WHW and realising it was the best paint job in the building. Inspirational work.

I might try this for some eldar power weapons I'm also tempted to make a rainbow warrior Sergent for my deathwatch army. Your lore video turned that chapter from a meme chapter in my eyes to something pretty cool. Keep up the great work

The sword was such an eye-catching, jaw-dropping detail during the RW video! Thank you so much for sharing; your teaching is so clear and really fun!

I'm loving your channel! For my rainbow orks, I did the base with glitter mixed in clear elmer's glue. I think that would fit with your rainbow warriors

This is an amazing effect! I am going to be painting a dragon with opal horns and claws quite soon for my fiancee, so I will definitely be referring back to this video! I thought I would be stuck having to get a specific colorshift paint to get the effect, but now I have another amazing option!

I had Trolls in the Pantry and Oi Dats My Leg when I was a kid. The silly songs tapes that came with them were a very special experience.

This is genuinely my favorite power sword/weapon in general I’ve ever seen in miniature painting. It literally looks like it’s made of opal. It’s beautiful and what a way to start a channel. I've not painted in months and I immediately snapped out of it and started cleaning and prepping my painting area after seeing the first Rainbow Warriors video. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

It looks like the legendary effect in the game warhammer tacticus, Thanks!

I like the old paint bottles in the background. I have one old, hex-shaped, paint bottle with still flowing paint. That is how I learned not to lick my paint brush, whatever chemicals they added to keep the paint flowing is not for consumption. :)

The middle highlight looks great still! I'd love to see a Rainbow warriors Dreadnought or maybe even a Knight.

I can't get over just how detailed the entire paint job is.

Just used this technique, worked great. To add a step, I hit it with daler rowney’s shimmering blue ink. When the light hits it the entire blade lights up with the opalescent pattern. Amazing result.

👍👍 I for one welcome our new Prismatic Overlords! Such a cool effect, reminds me of bismuth crystals!

tip for that middle line on the sword, use pinstriping tape, basically like 3-6mm wide painters tape, stick it either side and use the side of an old but ok brush to stipple on the line lightly

Thank you for validating my struggle to highlight the middle edge of a sword. I feel validated.

I've created my own home-brew chapter called the "Crystal Warriors" so will definitely give their power weapons a go using this method :-) LOVE your channel already, and can't wait to see where you take us with your awesome painting tutorials as well as your Lore videos :-D

Omg finally a painter on youtube that pronounces Vallejo correctly.

I'm definitely going to try this on my Craftworlds army, I rekon it'll suit their weird magical swords perfectly!

Releasing your background music so early was a genius move! Now watching your videos feels like "coming home" to me, when I hear it! Also: Cool sword bro! You smart!

This is an amazing effect you did there. Have you ever thought of doing this for the entire Armor of a marine? Imagine that, The Prismatic Legion Marine!

Glad to support a GW refugee! Great painting videos that are super easy to follow.

I love how you've incorporated painting tips and techniques learned from pros adapted to your style and what your painting.

I'm enthralled by this beauty! Oh, yeah, Louise is pretty, too. Gonna look for a mini that will get the honour of holding such a majestic sword

One thing I would like to see more of in painting tutorials videos in general (unless I keep missing them) is not just how to do one type of model idea, but an entire group or set. Like for example when you see said model paint scheme, we eventually see a unit to get an idea of how the rest would look on the tabletop before fully committing to said idea. Like Outrun-Neon Necrons. Though understandably AFTER you get your one paint scheme idea done for video based on one model or sure! But it be so need to see a unit displaying said ideas. I'm always up to know how to do something like 10 Skaven Clanrats, or 13 Tyranid Termagants in an interesting way through the best and fastest methods possible, and it not feel like a chore.

Ty so much. I was a bit disappointed that you first put this guide behind a Paywall. I love that sword

It's really great to see your personality come through on your new channel!

The copy of 'Ere we go in the background is pure nostalgia

I admit, I'm gonna miss you from the Citadel Masterclass - your amazing techniques were great, but your charisma really made the channel. I'm gonna sliiide on over to Patreon now and...

A really nice twist on Power Weapons that I can't wait to find a place for!

Mindblowing! Love how it looks

Great tut, congrats on the new channel!

Wonderful video! Thank you for showing us the step by step of how you got such an amazing effect. I can't wait for more.

Always love your tutorials, they helped me so much. So cool that you got you own channel now.

Loved this video and can’t wait to try this technique. Thank you so much.

This is such a great effect! This is such an easy tutorial to follow too. I bet I have some vintage Eldar in a box somewhere that this would look amazing on.

Simply explained and fun to watch thanks!

Thank you Louise! Your tutorials are the best!

A fantastic style for power swords! Thanks for sharing this. Definitely going to give it a try.

Thank you for sharing. The sword looks beautiful and I can't wait to try this

I love your videos! Thanks so much for this one 🤘 Also: glad to see you using some of warcolours' paints. My new favorite brand for painting old school style 😁

Can't wait to try this out, thank you! Opal is my favorite stone so I'm so excited for this!

Vibrant colors are the best colors! Thank you for making such a cool army theme come to life. The sword rocks!

I really love how this turned out

Super happy to see you venturing out on your own and am excited to see your awesome rainbow marines in the spotlight!

This is an incredible tutorial. Thank you so much!

Definitely taking notes, great tutorial!!!

Awesome video. This has turned out fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Lovely colors!

Fantastic tutorial and content, very useful and entertaining. Glad to see you doing your own thing!

This has just given me so much inspiration for painting my Lumineth. Great video!

That's such a unique and different way to paint power weapons, definitely something to try out. Nice work 👏.

I think it looks fantastic! I might have to have a go at it myself one day.

Love this! such a cool effect, really enjoying your videos :)

Looking forward to more from you 😊 Very well spoken and descriptive while still adding your own personality. Subscribed!

Love the colour, it's gorgeous

Might have to try this at some point. thanks for the awesome tutorial!

"And ready to be bathed in the blood of your enemies" - 😀 (Said as I'm staring at a rainbow sword)

Love this affect, it helps that even the model is looking at it like, "woah 🤯"

that is stunning!!

Music sounds like Blue Monday, I love it! Great video, Louise!

I'm so excited for this channel's future!

Middly bit looks great. Love the word. Great vid.

Beautiful work! I'm glad to see your paint job on youtube, after Warhammer+ masterclass 😊

Such an amazing painter and then asks for tips! I can't wait to see more of her videos! -John

Rainbow Warrior just keeps bring up the former Nascar Jeff Gordon and his Dupont sponsored car. LOL

Congratulations on your KZfaq channel! Im excited your tutorials. For your WHTV tutorials have vastly improved my skill and I was able to finally grasp more complex techniques! Cant wait to see what you create here! Though its disconcerting why so many talented people have left GW to strike out on their own.

I love Louise for her use of technical terms, e.g. the middly bit of the sword.

That's a next level paint job.

I'm glad to hear you also struggle with the central line of the sword, it makes us mortals feel more normal 😂

I love the shot transitions

This is so good, I want to go try it straight away!

Perfect timing. No joke, I was looking for a way and deciding on how to paint my sergeants energy sword for intercessor kill team just now!!!

what an absolute mad lass, I have the feeling i'm gonna love this channel n its gonna become huuuge

Love ur channel so far str8 to the point . Inspirational and fun to watch . Deffo right move to leave gw

Wow i love this!! it'll look awesome on my Aeldari Barharoth thanks! definetly trying this!

Absolutely love this!

thats a seriously nice effect, never even thought of stuff like that but thats wonderfully different and effective and as a bonus doesn't look that difficult (in theory).. and if you think that sword centre line isn't straight I'm going to go and cry in a corner :)

So fun! Love how it's going, Louise

Awesome work

Looks great. Thank you

Lovely! Both the mini and the music.

That was really awesome! Thanks

I enjoy your esthetics so much!

Definitely gonna have to try this out because yours looked awesome. A tip for painting the mid section on a sword : use a small flat or chisel brush and use just the very tip of it to get a controlled straight line. It's a lot handier then using a round brush. Awesome video Though 👉😎👉

Welcome to the KZfaq family. Where the real painters live. 😂 When it comes to that central ridge on the sword I tend to make sure I've got a colour down that I can easily go back to. Take my recently finished Roboute Guilliman's the Emperor's Sword.I did two edge-highlights, one of Yriel Yellow and one of White Scar. Sadly the lines went a little wonky, so I used some Iyanden Yellow (which was used to shade the blade) and slowly feathered it on to reduce the size of the smudged line. Really cool sword effect. I always struggle to paint these types of effects on weapons, usually just go with a silver. But I have been practising my glazing method on my Necron characters.

Cool to see you doing this.

Ohhh cool sword painting!

I love that effect, a very unique sword style. Can't wait to see what you do with the plasma. On a side note have you thought of trying it with pearlescent pigments (for eyeshadows etc), I get them from Ali express and make them up with a bit of linseed oil, fantastic to blend with and I got a good coloured metalic transition (i used metal havent used my irridencent yet) but planning to do it eventually on my Nurgle fly's (as bluebottles) and something like this on the shell of the giant snail guy. Also for the line in the center I use tamia thin masking tape (2mm) to mask both sides of the line as thin and accurate as I can get (with magnifying goggles) then use normal masking tape to cover the rest. Good tip though is add tape to the top and bottom of the stencil and you can just peel it off an use it on the back and then on other models. Otherwise, more fancy is if you have mylar sheets you can cut a very narrow line in one and use that with a little stencil glue

Good work the sword looks great

It’s the little things in life that bring peace. Taking your dog for a walk, frying up bacon, Sugs starting her own channel, etc. Awesome 🗡️!

The sword painted like this reminds me of the crystals that Fulgrim finds. Perfect for the Children of the Emperor.

holy crap this just showed up in my recommended and this is my first video of yours! This is amazing!

Looks amazing - will definitely be using this on my Amallyn Shadowguide's sword

Thank you for saying Vallejo correctly

Thank you so much for this tutorial, when I watched the thumbnail for your Rainbow SM the sword really caught my attention, it's so 😍

Thanks so much for this! I can't wait to give it a go

Great video and great to see the channel doing so well so soon

Lovely colors used there! If the middle line goes wonky just add a few thin diagonal white stripes coming from the thickest wobbles to make it look like shiny reflections :) easy hack for the wobbly lines
