I've watched Juan Hidalgo's "How to Paint TMM Sword" video so many times, I decided to make myself a written guide for reference. I have written down the paints I use specifically and a few tweaks I like to do too.
- Basecoat with Vallejo Metal Color Silver (Citadel equivilent is Ironbreaker .
- Glaze Gryph-charger Grey from the mid point, towards the darkest point on the blade. Do a couple of passes to re-enforce darker areas if needed.
- If you want to darken the blade further, consider mixing some Nuln Oil into your contrast paint and glaze a smaller area with this on later passes. You could even glaze with pure Nuln Oil when needed.
- Glaze Stormhost Silver towards the lightest point on the flat of the blade. Repeat as needed.
- Edge highlight the blade with your brightest silver metal colour. I like Vallejo Metal Color Chrome . If you have a line up the centre, paint the thinnest line you can up here too.
- If you want to accentuate the lightest point of the blade, glaze the tip with Chrome too.
