My latest squad. Hope you like them

gorgeous work! Love the fists and sword! And the eyes are well done! Way better than I can ever hope to achieve!

These models look fantastic, but there is something that is bugging me about the fists. They look flat. If you are trying to get a glow effect then I think you need a bit more range in color; the light areas should be brighter.

Other than that no complaints.

They look well painted, good job! But I have to agree with ThatEdGuy on the fist. Atm I can't tell whether its OSL or a strange zenithal highlight

Nicely painted but they don't really look Blood Angels to me except for the colour red. Perhaps you could paint on chapter symbols and iconography to them or use transfers, make them actually look Blood Angels other then the use of red.

I was going for OSL on the eyes.

For the fists I mainly just wanted them to look more unique and not the same as the red armour. Use your imagination i guess

Very well done, love the eyes

Really nice, clean job! the OSL on the eyes looks great, not too overdone, and the shading and basing is top notch.
I have to agree though, the powerfists are the only parts I'm not keen on, they look like rust rather than heat/power.

Also where did you get the plants for the base

I like the solid gold pieces on the Sgt. It's a nice touch.

I would paint the cables on the hands a metal color, other than that, good job! Oh and have to agree about the fists. Maybe a bit more edge highlight on them?

On the fists, maybe either a little shadow in the cracks or highlights on the edges (definition) or a highlight in the cracks (inner glow)?

The alternate color is fine, but they look flat.

Also, really like the sergeant's shoulders and general choices/execution

maybe a yellow wash would help brighten up the fists even more and sell a power/glow effect. ill see what the client says first.

The taller greener one is from silflor. Its the prairie tuft. The other one is army painter steppe static grass.

They look really good! The glow on the eyes was done really well from what I can see and the paint job is top notch, I like how the sword looks like it's glowing and the little orange bolt going up it looks cool!

i went ahead and added some yellow washes to the fists. its not a huge difference.

I really like the eyes, subtle OSL, so many people (myself included) go really over board with it, you have nailed it though.

Nice, really clean and nice tones of red. Like the fists. Some shoulder insignia and markings would complete them.
