Checking what do you think I could do to improve the colour scheme. This should be a full 1500pt army.

I like the neon green and the solid coat, but a solid coat of Thraka Green probably would've looked better than the splotchy thing you have going on. What color did ya use for the main color?

Also digging those stealthsuits.

I would suggest mixing up the bases a little- adding some sand or other basing material so it doesn't look like they're on a perfectly manicured lawn. Also, I agree with kepora that the splotchy-ness looks a little odd. Other than that, nice work, it's very neat.

Perhaps try a camo pattern on the vehicles to break up the larger surfaces, as well as some gem or glowing effects?

I like the green but a few hard edge highlights would make a huge difference and as already suggested I'd have a different colour on the bases (perhaps an earthy brown) to give it some contrast.

I really like the effect you have going on the green, particularly in the large areas.

I agree about the basing thing though, try adding some basing sand, maybe painted in brown to have a nice deep color to contrast your bright models.

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?

Looks cool, one of my first thoughts was that the paint scheme is reminiscent of constructicons from transformers G1

I like the look of this, But I do feel the bases are a tad to nice looking.

Thanks for the reply, I am really happy with the result as well. I agree the bases are too neat but I don't have much experience basing my models and afraid to veer off simple flocking. May try to change this with my dark eldar army as I have continued the basing theme with my grey knights im currently work on.

I have recently been experimenting with ice blue glow so instead of the dark black recesses on the suits and the plasma rifles I instead paint ice blue in there to make it appear like a tron glowy effect will have to take pics to see if you think thats something i should put on the other models.
