Off The Top of My Head

My dreadnought got me in the mood to paint more Dark Angels, and I decided to jump into robed characters rather than the standard green-armored tac-marines.

I like the standard, though my edging could use some touch ups...

I'm actually most happy with the back of the figure and the banner. I like the red and gold.

The base of the banner was fun to try, and I used ANOTHER piece from the defiler to accent the base.
