My "Gang of Green" Space Marines

Very... Striking?

They look good. A simple color scheme is a great way to unite an army and create a single, unified image. It'll carry a very powerful effect when viewed as a whole.

I do, however, think that the army cries out for heraldry. The overlarge shoulderpads of a Space Marine demand some kind of iconography, and there are several panels on the vehicles which could easily support matching designs. I think that it could only add to the army image.

It's very simple but effective. I would say that a lot of the colors look very flat, though. For example, take the chest plate of your average marine with a big eagle on it. You don't have to go and paint the eagle a different color, but I would suggest giving such detail a nice heavy green wash to add shadows, then going back and picking out the raised edges in your basic green. That will bring your models to life more fully.

Yes, bossfearless is right.

While they look great in the big picture once you get close up the green starts to over power and they look pretty basic. A nice wash of black will help those highlights to pop and hopefully tone down the green a tad.

Like the other guy said, you can then highlight with your base green for even more definition.

They do look nice a clean though. Good job!
