Hey guys, these are my first space marines ive painted and also the beginnings of a new army woo. They are only WIP, still need to do the LC for them all. Ive done some battle damage both physical, with my knife and painted. Also tried a bit of weathering around the feet and legs but its all kind of hard to see in the pics! C&C welcome.

good job on the face!
purple and black are a bit dark for me though

Thanks! As in together they are too dark and i should paint the face white? OR more highlights are needed? I wanted to paint this army dark and gritty as i feel space marines should be like that, as opposed to squeaky clean all the time

Try useing some Warlock Purple (or whatever the friggin color is called now...it's a pinkish shade) to add highlites and bring up the color a notch.

Thanks for the advice! Nice too see some more purple marines
