Keeping it Simple: Painting Rebel Alliance Troops [How I Paint Things]

There's an old saying where painting is concerned: "Faces and bases make everything aces." Just pick a couple of details that stand out on a miniature and spend a tiny bit of extra time on really making them pop, and the rest will serve as an interesting backdrop to that effort.

This miniature was assembled from the Alliance Pathfinders set over at Dark Fire Games' webstore: https://darkfiredesigns.com/products/...
