So, not much to say, i dont enjoy super neat and clean looking models and as a beginner this was really fun to mess up.

E: Super messed up, uploading pictures.

That Dread looks great!

I didn't actually see the cultist in the first picture, the hand just looked messed up. To make the cultist read as distinct from the dread, I'd suggest re-painting him in colours that are not found on the dread. A sand-coloured, blue, orange or red robe, lighter skin would help a lot to make him stand out.

In a similar direction, if your model is grey, don't make the base grey. ;-]

Hmm, cultist is pretty much painted up and in real life has a lot of blood that helps it to stick out but i see what you mean.
Yea, the rest of my army (Deathwing) is based the same way so i didnt really think about it but thanks for pointing it out (Y).
Im going to add some Battlefields XP - Winter Tuft (dark yellow) and Hobby Round: Winter/Dead Static Grass, do you think it will help it break out the model?

Yes, that will help seperate him from the base visually.

Mind you, I may not be the best person to ask. It occurs to me that the base is probably grey without any colour in there and the dread is dark green. The cultist has dark red on him. So all is quite dark.

I am sight-impaired for differentiating reds and greens, so maybe the separation is better for normally sighted people ;-]

I think because you've used a darker red than what's normal for Dark Angel weapon covers there's not a contrasting colour for all the darkness

Very nice. I like the cultist in the hand but it overall very dark. good weathering though.
