So I finished my tac of Dark Angels. Please comment

Very nice, care to share your method, as that Armour looks amazing.

Very nice, my only critique would be to paint the rim of the bases.

They look great. The quality of the models from Dark Vengeance still amazes me. These models are fairly quick to paint up and give great results. Thanks for sharing.

I don't like GW style with Space Marines looking a bit Tronish. I prefer more smooth finish let's say.

Doing that armour is simple, but just time consuming. I just updated my blog with instructions:

Yup, like those a lot! will be picking up my DV box soon I hope. So seeing stuff like this really is an inspiration!

Very nice and agree your armour looks great! Also agree the method is simple if a little time consuming, I will give it a try as I'm trying a couple of methods on my guys to find one I like and get a good look with.

!!!!!

I really like the detalis of the Sergeant's face. Would you mind to share a little tutorial for it?

Awesome squad.

Nice squad. The green on the those troops is not as dark as I would have expected. It kind of mutes them and brings out a lot of detail that would have been otherwise obscurred. I like your bases too, I've been trying to figure out something for my own bases for quite a while now. Very good job, keep it up.

Really awesome work on the eyes. Not many people can do human heads as lifelike as that one there.

Awesome paint job, really nice job.

Excellent effort! Really liking the green armour.

Thanks for all kind comments guys I really appreciate this!

I may post something about painting faces, but to be frank it will be rather later than sooner. Work is calling

Do you paint the armour with an airbrush?

they look very good. I look the face of the sargaent. He reminds me of our generic 80s action hero

Great paintjob, very smooth looking colours.

Amazing job, the left shoulder pad really stands out to me and looks so smooth. How many layers of white was it?

very nice paintjob!

They're painted black, as base rims should be

This. Black base rims create a negative space which I feel looks superior to the usual standby of painting the edge brown - this makes your miniatures look like transplanted garden flowers with the soil clumped on the roots!

A little bright, but otherwise great! The rims are already good, too.

The paint job is so smooth, I almost dismissed it as a one coat paint job till I realized just how much detail was actually popping out. Really really sharp paint work.

@JohnnoM: No, just ordinary brushes. Click on my blog for details.

@termin8r: It was wolf's gray first than 2 layers of white. It builds up more depth.

About rims: it's hard to see on the picture, but they are actually very dark brown: oak brown + black.

Very nice. I like the models. A good mix of realism with smooth weathering.
