I love the teal and silver, I hate the pink horns.

Wow, I really love the color of the armor. Is that how it looks in real life? (Since the blood on the horns looks a little purply I'm wondering if the photo is distorting the colors a bit.)
How do you do the teal?

My critique is that this is the Painting and Modeling Showcase. Were you post finished miniatures with finished bases.

I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body! |

Who says that? What if someone never bases his minis for any reasons?
As long as the paintjob is finished it's fine for me.
Btw. It IS based. It does not have the level of detail intended by the OP but it has every right to be in this foum.
If that is everything you have to add, why don't you just leave this thread?
Back to topic: I really like the green. WOuld you mind to share your recipe?

Thanks for the backup. 
The green is actually a color GW used to sell, called Scaly Green. They've discontinued it, but Vallejo carries a similar color called Scurvy Green. For highlights, I use a 50:50 mix of Scurvy Green (or Scaly Green if it still exists) and Jade Green.
Oh, and I hate the horns too. I always mess up shading them properly, so I just slathered some Gore Red on them.

It's very nice. I wouldn't expect this color scheme to work so well, but it does. It's great.
Maybe take the blood off the horns, as others have mentioned. Standard bone color will go really well with the teal.
I'd love to see a whole army of these!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll work on the horns and bases this weekend. I've finished the squad now with some minor bitswapping. Here's what they look like so far:
Yes, I know one's missing a backpack. It'll be added during the weekend along with the rest.

No particular chapter. I originally intended it to be a splinter chapter of Emperor's Children, but now I'm thinking of making it undivided or possibly a Fallen Angels sect.

The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.

Thanks. As for a name, I haven't settled for anything good yet. And believe me, if my local game store had started stocking them sooner, I would've used them from the start!

Narp, they are the same as in other boxes (e.g. the tactical marines in the SM battleforce are the same as in the SM tactical marine box), just bundled together and give a reasonable discount

Alas, Scaly Green, how I loved thee! Why would thou have to stop being produced? 
As you may see, I like the colours you have on these. Keep it up. They are slightly similar in colour to Alpha Legion (at least the AL-guy in WD when the new CSM-codex came out), you know.

Yes, I do know. When the new CSM codex came out, everyone was like "Hey, you play Alpha Legion!" and I was like "feth YOU! THEY'RE NOT ALPHA LEGION!" XD Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and a little update:

Though actually, you should suspect anyone to be of the Alpha Legion

I especially love the contrast of the bright red muscles with the teal armour
I would really like to see these as a finished army, as I think all together, that would look quite impressive
