There's no tutorial (that I know of, and trust me that's not saying much), but what you really need to do to get a glowing effect is paint green on all the raised areas within a certain radius. I've found it helps if you just move the brush around the weapon in said radius and the paint gets on anything there. Mind you don't go too par, or it'll dominate the model and the light source will look too strong, diminishing that eerie feeling.
Here's how I did it:

Whilst I won't deny that VD's method works, I'd have to advise you to look at tutorials for painting power/force swords for space marines on 40k forums. They have nailed that down to a fine point, so go to any website, or indeed the gw webpage, and you'd be bound to find something.

That said, there are some nice tutorials for working spirit host effects, and ghostly paint jobs, here somewhere so If you do a search you'll come up aces
