Wow, nice work with your first army

love the paint job i was the same way everyone loved my paint job and now iv got friends from out of town asking me to paint there armies hahaha but yea it wont be long before you get very good your off to a good start and as for a name what about sons of liberty i looked at your army and came up with that hahahaha but yea youll get there

Those terminators are blingin.

Wow. Really, really good. You already demonstrate a firm understanding of what colour schemes look best on Space Marines, and you've got a really unique look going to boot.

Very nice, I wish I could paint like that when I first started.

Those terminators look Badass. You got a name/background for this awesome chapter?

Like the look, the paint job is good also.

a little highlight on the bolters/weapons would go a long way to making awsomeness!!

kutgw!

oh yes.

definitely subscribed! If this is only the beginning I just know i'm gonna wanna see the end.

For the names how about something alone the lines of Knights of the Jade Cross or Order of the Jade Seal, something like that, you get the idea.

Soldiers of the jade? Jade swords? The Jade Knights?

That green looks awesome.

That's a wonderful work, but now, please, tell us how you managed to get this amazing green!

What did you use as a basecoat, Mithril silver? Boltgun metal? Thrakka green and badab black for the washes? how many layers?

How did you do that gold. I want to do some bloodletters for my fantasy army in all gold. But just dont know how to proceed.

This can't be your first army :O

I think the paintjob reflects a first army. Metals and washes are VERY forgiving when painted like this. Also, most beginners that I know paint their marines metallic colors first so it was a tad of a giveaway.

The army does look nice though. It isn't too overpowering of a metallic color and its unique. Good job.

No mold lines and keep the painting very neat and you can't go wrong. Also don't put paint on think. Lots of thin layers work best.

Stick to that and your army will rock. GW.

Here's how I did the green, basecoat black, then Mithril Silver, 1 coat of Badab Black wash, then about 4-5 coats of Thrakka Green.

A wash of delvan mud or gryphonne sepia would do wonders for the gold areas, and you clearly know how to wash!

Very Nice!!

Aside from name, this is very nice army even for some of us "more experienced" painters!
Looking forward to see more!

look pretty dang sweet, here are some names i came up with:
1. Jade Dragons
2. Emerald Dragons
3. Jade lions
4. Jade tigers
5. Jade Phoenix's
6. The Jade Councile

Just some of them i came up with as i was reading through your stuff

Cool, thanks for all the comments guys...


Cjsuner, thanks for the suggestions. I think I kind of like The Jade Council. Although I probably won't settle on a name until I'm done painting, that's one to think about.
