I posted an article about painting Lysander to our site, but I think it may be a bit dated now. So if you want to share a fresh take on the subject - we'd all appreciate it!

I might do him one day, let me finish the assault and i will decide whos next

forget Lysander, weren't they going to promote him to a chapter master in one of the new book?

but I liked the model very much back then when it was released...

he still is the number 1 of imperial fist

Oh man, much has changed then... The time that I remember he was a Captain - Captain Lysander.

Nothing changed Lysander still is a captain, but there are only two real imperial fists in GW Lysander and a chaplain the rest are sm

oh my, somebody was very cruel to Imperial Fists officers...

Reminds me of Stalin's purges

The glove is a frightening thing

So heres the Jump Pack Flame sort of tutorial

From top to bottom
1-Black and smoke

2- Foundation Necron Abyss just on the reactors

3- Foundation Necron Abyss and a magical blue (VGC) but just ond the middle of the reactor and highlighting the lines (dont paint everything leave the darkest areas alone, or like the song "cant touch this"

4- magical blue (VGC) again like before but you start to decrease the area where your paint goes leaving always a litte from before

5- magical blue (VGC) + Space wolves grey again your stroke is getting smaller

6- Space wolves grey almost in the edges but in the lower part you paint the middle and in the higher part of the reactor the edges are colored

7- finally you just do some dots of white in the edges, in the middle just drop a piece of paint

... And you are done, if you are not lazy like me, or if its not a gamming miniature dont forget to fill all the gaps, and remenber this was a fast way to do it, but with time and a nice blend the effect will be very good, even do that the end result of a speed painting looks good
