Dark Angel Commission – First Rifleman Dread done

Here’s the first of the pair of riflemen contemptors I’m doing for Dave. I went ahead and knocked out one dread completely as I’m pretty unfamiliar with the Dark Angel scheme and wanted to build some experience since I’ll be doing so many for him soon.

I have to say the DA scheme is pretty boring. They don’t have any additional colors to add some contrast. That being the case I tried to add some visual interest by adding some red lenses here and there and some glowing sections on the abdomen and back furnace. I also did the base in lighter colors to add a little contrast.

Not bad. Four more to go.

  1. I might suggest transfers to add interest to the model. I’ve learned how to do them pretty well but they must be on flat surfaces and this model has plenty.

    Other than that I could suggest some battle-damage…up to you though. This is decent tabletop quality but yes, a little boring as you point out.
