These are a few of my first Dark Angel space marines in a pre-heresy colour scheme, using the Dark Angels green like described in the Tales of Heresy short story about the Dark Angels.

some feed back and ideas would be great.

I'm not sure what to do about the bases?
Also i need to learn how to highlight :/

I'm no master painter, but the lines look clean.
You probably need to try adjusting your camera. Possibly the macro? surely someone on here will know what to do.
From what I can see a wash on the robes would help bring out the detail more, possibly devlan mud or gryphonne sypia.
great start though :-) keep it up :-)

We can't really say much using these pictures.

Okay cheers ill try getting some better pics
and thanks Grim ill see how thats goes

Straight away, I can see that you've roughly painted 'in the lines' which is always good . A very simple thing to add definition to the cloak as Grim said is use devlin mud as a wash on the cloak.

I would also advise you on looking up some of the articles on here about highlighting. Their very useful if, like you said about highlighting, your not sure about the technique.

Judging only by the blurry photos provided, the color tones and general paint work looks good. I can tell that you have taken your time to paint the models neat, which is always a task that gives most of its payback on the battlefield when your looking at your army. I like the colors chosen. My only recommendation would be to experiment with blending, drybrishing and inks/washes, as I can tell from the pictures that there are single colors used for each part of the model. Still, its a very nice job!
