| Sure why not? I think it looks great. White is usually a hard colour to work with, but you pulled it of nice. Face looks good too BTW, although I am not fond of the modelling of it (but that's not your fault ). | |

| It's... white. Not bad actually. Are You sure You don't want to add more depth?

What can I say, this is first thing that come in mind when I see white DE.
Also, You may try using different colour for metal - gold IMHO fit. Red, Blue, Purple - any of those colours work for squad markings. | |

| The scheme itself works wonderfully. The bases, however, don't IMHO. Try to paint your bases in colours contrasting the minis themselves (maybe desert/wasteland stuff?) so they pop out more. | |

| yeah the bases right now have me stumped. i have rubble and metal grates right now but i cant think what else to put there. i was thinking maybe some skulls and bones in brown dirty tones but any suggestions are very much appreciated. | |

| ya, I'd definitely agree about the bases. Right now the feet sorta look like they blend into the base.
Something like a red earthed tone, or even just a straight green grass would probably make them pop. If you are staying with the rubble, add some more decapitated/dismembered pieces with splashes of red blood? | |

| I think they look great! They'll stand out from the usual DE fare but they still manage to look cold and cruel. I am experimenting with a similar scheme myself, I hope it turns out as well as yours. I agree with the others concerning the basing, but I almost feel that a wintry/snow theme would look very nice alongside them. Did you prime them white? | |

| I like it. It's a nice break from the stereotypical dark schemes. In addition, it shows your Kabal is ballsy. A Kabal wearing white in the dark of Commorragh would be highly visible. It's like a super manly taunt. | |

| A great scheme, luv it! Something very different. Maybe some more shading or highlighting to break it up a little bit more, but that's just a suggestion. | |
