I am one for contrast. EIther White/offwhite or Red. Green would look ok, but might clash with that color blue.

Something like this is what I would do


My 2 cents

i think you need to move into more advanced techniques of painting to get the glowing effect
i would recomend asking these guys about their glowing orbs/gems and how they do it
they wil be more than happy to assist you
my hands are to shaky to do them
but they are very good

hmmmmm .... If you are talking light sourcing, then that is something I have yet to master (actually I've never tried).

If the following is what you are looking for (look at the Necron Res Orb) Then that is quite simple.

well, a while ago some helpful soul knocked up a tute on making things glow that you might find useful. it can be found right here. while perple wasn't a featured colour it describes the process fairly well. the bit about the power sword you'll find particularly handy i think

sorry I didn't pay attention to the tyranid thread.... But Hairy hit it good for me! Any good glowing power sword tut should be helpful. just change the colors keeping the core value the same.
