Glow is about contrast and source lighting, so darken the undercoat before bringing out the light and determine the radiant points. Are you looking to have the whole hand glow, or just the fingertips?

You probably want to take a look at part 3 where they talk about the radiant light from the glow.
The whole hand.
and thank you.

And remember that it's going to light up the underside and lower edges of the gun (?) thing too. Looking good!
Yeah, I think the challenge is that the very large gun (storm bolter?) kind of draws attention away from the glowing hand. You'll have to involve it in the "glow" lighting if you want to really make it identifiable, I think. But you're on your way- the pose is cool, and I can totally see what you're going for, which is half the battle.

Thanks guys. Yeah, making the "glow" bounce off the storm bolter is the problem I am having. I want it to look real, but not over powering. If you catch my meaning.
btw... now that I hace converted two Librarians. Anyone interested in some Grey Knight bits. LOL !!!
