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.
The new finecast standard bearer is a nice-looking model with a great bas-relief standard. It’s what appealed to me about it. The chance to paint the raised relief edges and also try my hand at the robes for the first time. I had mixed results but I was happy with my first effort:
I like the standard, though my edging could use some touch ups…This kind of shows how I tried to do the robes. Not bad but it could use some honing it.I’m actually most happy with the back of the figure and the banner. I like the red and gold. Again I need to touch up those highlights…The base of the banner was fun to try, and I used ANOTHER piece from the defiler to accent the base.
