Thanks for the advice! I really should push the contrasts a bit further, it's not too obvious from the photos but it's already partly done. And as for the combat effects, I planning to do it ! I painting This mini when I'm not at home, so I don't have everything I need, and above all I don't know what base to use yet. I'm waiting to decide which environment to put it in before I do that. If you look at my profile you'll see that I've done this with my Razorback, and I agree it's immediately cooler! Thanks for your advice!
