I’m not sure what size it is. I picked it up in a hobby stare called antics which are all across the UK... I don't know any hobby stores in the US but just have a look around various art/hobby shops any you'll find some good brushes

Cool Tutorial and well painted. Sounds like it might work well with a mirrored effect too.

I absolutely love how these look! Whenever I try power weapons they dont quite have the same "electric" feel that yours do

"I like being shorter than the average person, makes the enemy work for their target "

I did it with enchanted blue, then a thinner mix of 1:1 enchanted blue and skull white, then an even thinner line of skull white. I then put several thin laers of gloss varnish on. (even before this tut was here!)
really well done though, a lot better than mine.
