Since my last post I have made some head way in my urban assault themed dark angels army and here are some of the pics. (this time with finished bases )

I love your urban camo. Maybe not the best fit for DA, but to each their own. Going to look sick on the rhinos and flyers.

Its very different I'll say that, nice job with the camo

Camo looks great, though I don't know that Camo would be my first choice on Space Marines, they're not exactly what you would call "Stealthy" in fact a good majority of them WANT to be seen, as an intimidation tactic.

Nice, very diferent, and great work on the paintjob...

Marines can like to be seem, but they like to do that at their weapons range, not before of it. Thinking about city fighting against tau, the cammo make a lot of sense... But yet, not for DA... :(

Most urban schemes have different shades of gray. Think it would add a lot to your work.

So.. the gray on the stone parts of the camo is not painted at all?
To me the colors lack any real depth. Its seems to hastily done, the gray areas in particular. I cant see any highlights and I cant see any shading, at all. And not even the base-stone is painted. Forgive me, but I don't think that justifies these great models. I know we are all at different levels here, regarding painting skills, but most people can at least apply some shades and/or highlights to make it a little bit more interesting. Both to look at and to play against. perhaps more satisfying for the painter to?

Escuse me if I sound a bit harsh here, but I'm just beeing honest.

How are they Dark Angels if they're in a completely different scheme?

The dark angels arn't cowards, what is this?

Neither of the two previous comments are helpful - thanks for your opinion, but the models belong to Iron Death so he can paint them as he pleases.

I think Gravity says it best - the current scheme lacks depth. Apply a wash, retouch the base block colors, add a highlight.

Meh, I'm not really a fan of that camo. Too blocky on the light colours. Other than that well done.
