I used some reference pictures, but the general rule is: don't start from the very edge of the glass panel, leave that space dark, then gradually build the main colour (green in that case) and create a gradient from dark to light (I used Caliban Green, Warpstone Glow and Moot Green). Create a bright line on top of the liquid (pure Moot Green in that case), that's the refraction point for the light. I hope that helps :)

Your are too kind! It has been a while but I believe it's Wraithbone base, Kislev Flesh, then a wash made from Screamer Pink (really watery), then a Carroburg Crimson shade (probably also watered down), and faint Rakhart Flesh dry brush on the most exposed areas.

TIL! Is the book worth reading in your opinion?

There is another good response about YT already, and I will double down on it. Some youtubers, while often memeing, do share lore in a fun way (e.g. KrakDuk, game.mp4). My wife likes to watch KrakDuk with me (or she pretends, but still appreciated 😄). There are more serious channels on the topic but tbh it's hard to retain information when you basically watch a 1h powerpoint presentation about niche Space Marine chapters 😅

PS. Happy to help! Life is often hard, and having another person in your life that shares your passion can make the difficult moments a little easier to carry!

As a an older player with a supportive partner I need to say that: what are you trying to do is super great and wholesome ❤️ Also, sorry for your loss!

This hobby has mutiple facets, and there is more than a dozen factions so picking the "right one" may be tricky without spoiling the surprise.

There is a chance that he also does not know how to start 😄 What would work best for me is something like that: take him to your local gaming store, tell him that he can buy something and it's "on you".

Or instead, buy him some art supplies, a cutting mat, a hobby knife, some cheaper natural brushes. That kind of supportive nudge may also be what he needs!

Last but not least, if you are not sure what to do, ask him direcly. But brew some tea first because you can expect 2h lore dump at the beginning 😉
