right, my guard force is approx. 3500 points, and consists of three parts, the "cadians", the "catachan", and the baneblade, of which, the catachan are all painted currently, minus one sentinal, the baneblade is one quarter painted, and as for the cadians, well, three models are (re)  painted...

The only problem I have with the models is that I can't see them very well. But otherwise all the vehicles look fine.

Balmung: These are taken with a webcam? A phone-cam? You might want to try putting more light onto your subject matter... it will help the photos turn out better.

from what I can see they look pretty good, just let down by the photos.
Also, is the name deliberate? Cause I was expecting emperors children when I saw the title.

they all look pretty good but you need to work on taking better photos so we can see the models better.

yea i think light is your main problem man. same with me since my camera is broke. with my cell phone i turn all the lights on, and then hold them up near my ceiling which is white. then get as close to the white and light as you can. that way the camera/cellphone focuses on the mini. it helps with pictures. (cept my cellphone doesnt really focus lol)
nice guard from what i can see

Color correction would be a huge help. Any photo editor would be great.

I agree John...
Try adjusting the Brightness/Contrast value which helps quite a bit. If things look a bit off color (i.e. more green, blue, red than they should be), then add the opposing tone by adjusting the color balance or hue.
If you don't have a photo editor, try the GIMP. No, not the one with the leather suit, the other one. Search google or the like for "Gimp program" and you should find it. It's shareware and has tons of bells and whistles, but isn't as user friendly as some of the other programs.

I think they look pretty good...you also might try and take them outside (during the day of course) and take some pics. Should really help with the lighting.

its all good to my eye, they look better in real life by the way. Use white background. The only cricism i can make is the baneblade's name, its just a little odd. My opinion though.

Balmung, you need to invest in a camera. But of what I can make out these look pretty awesome.
