A few of the recently finished center pieces for my ever expanding Dark Angels army. Constructive feedback/tips would be appreciated. I'm currently half way through painting an assault squad and recently finished a deathwing land raider crusader/redeemer which I will photo & post later. Have a very old land raider, vindicator, predator & scout land speeder which need a bit of work which i will also post later. As I said CONSTRUCTIVE feedback please guys, I'm here because I enjoy my hobby not to get spanked on by a group of strangers.

Picks as mentioned above of my main pieces so far

Sorry for the poor quality, they were all taken with my phone.

Ok first all the paint looks pretty clean, clean blocking is like 80% of the battle. Buuuut, those photos.... Get yourself a clear flat space and a nice long sheet of flat black craft paper - bam insta seamless! The second issue with the photos is the harsh lighting. Natural daylight can give you wonky results, just have a nice single bright light source and don't use the flash on your camera itself....

I'm by no means a pro photographer, but I got this pic from a little set-up at the office:


Now, the only thing I can say (again, it's hard to tell because of the pics), your paint may be going on just a tad thick. The Knight is looking nice (dig the shoulder areas and the metals that are showing), just wondering if the base is complete. Also, the use of the DA Banner/Skeleton is genius - just for me I like to "wash" my bone with a darker ink like Agrax, and only lightly drybrush the bone/white back in, but YMMV.

I think the pic quality could be affecting my comment, but i will provide it anyway. It looks like the dreadnought could use more shading/highlights, particularly on the appendages. Additionally, the highlights on the dark green armor could be more dramatic, as they seem kind of washed out or indistinct. Of course, that could be your preference or the picture quality not reflecting the highlighting accurately.
