1st command Squad, I'm not 100% happy with them, looking for some feed back on what to change.

Let's try and keep it constructive.

Interesting colour variant. Although the banner looks a bit empty IMO, it looks pretty cool with the freehand painting.
Aside from game-wise stupid build, the only thing I would change would be the banner. Maybe try to come up with a design that uses the space around it?
Otherwise very cool and clean.

Same, I would use some lighter colours on the banner and use a meltagun rather than plasma (sorry, but I've lost too many to hot guns) otherwise it looks pretty good.

Great painting, I like it a lot.

Small points of critique:
- the very white of the apothecary clashes with the offwhite of the veterans
- The offwhite kneecaps look 'flat' but perhaps I'm too much of a highlighter

awesome stuff and the free hand on the flag looks great

Pretty nice!

Like the colours. Are they Ultramarines tho or dyu just mean 1st company of your own chapter?

Only tiny tiny nitty gritty thing that I would add other than whats already been said, is that I would add a bit O black ink on the bases, just to make more distiction and shadow. And I never use varnish in that all covering way but thats just me lol.

Im a matt guy!

Its well painted in general but to comply with your request:

- maybe change the blue parts of the company champion. Blue and green arent " best friends".
- maybe weather the white of the apothecary. The ( bleached bone?) helmets of the other veterans look less pristine.


Nice paint scheme. The green is like scaly green right?

Yes Scaly Green, had a real liking for this colour, but GW stopped making it.
Good job I have a stock pile of the stuff.

The painting is obviously very well done. My only critiscm is that I don't like the off white knee caps and I don't like the off white power fist. However I really like the off white helmets.

I'm not sure about you guys, I think thats the point? It distinguishes him from the group and I actually kinda like it. It gives him that sterile feeling that you get when you walk into medical facilities.

Very nicely done.

Pretty sweet.

I'd go with the bone shoulder pads and blue eagles on the chest like the champ.

Also, meltagun.

I really do love how the bold color scheme works. I would also have to agree about the apothocarys' white issue, perhaps a wash would help define his helmet better.

I think they look great, don't like the green on the Champ too much though.

Thanks for your in put so far.
The plasma weapon was fitted before the latest issue of the rules, have to agree a Melta will work better, so off it comes.
I want the apothocary to stand out hense the white, I may add a little battle damage to tone it down some.

Very nice Harms.

I actually really like the White on the Apoth. Like someone else said looks sterile, which is what you want IMO.

I may well be hitting you up for a lesson or two!

The colors do not go so well. Try adding another coller or changing the white.

Nice work!
