Alright thats a tiny lie, it isnt quite my first model i used to paint when I was 8 but never bothered with shading etc and have just got back into the hobby bout 9 yrs later, this is my first attepmt with a decent amount of colours. This is only a test model, hoepfully my painting shall improve for the real ones, well without further ado here it is:

Critical comments are welcome. By the way my bad photography skills hide the fact that the bolter is highlighted some what. Also a question, is it worth doing nmm on a simple marine or is it best saved for commanders etc?

They look really good for a first attempt, kudos. I think the only reason the sarge looks a little odd is because there is so much red on him, it might clash a little with the green, probably just because you've painted the focal point of the model (the helmet) entirely red. Maybe next time for a bit of balance just try painting a red stripe on his helmet ^_^

Those are two very respectable models. I'm looking over to my first two after a long hiatus and they're not quite up to your level of painting! In regards of the figure the only element I would change would be the base. I think that a base of flock looks a little odd (just my opinion) so perhaps you could look at using sand instead with a bit of flock added here or there? Also the ring of the base could use a couple of watered down layers of green so that the colour is a bit more solid.

 

Overall I'm very impressed with your figures - I might sound a little picky about the base but it's only because your figures look so good!
