They look decent man but there is room for improvement without having to do lots of work.

 

Main thing I notice is while the red is nice and even and smooth, it is also quite flat. Such large areas of one colour really need to be broken up a bit and really shaded and highlighted t make it pop.

 

Mainly on your assault squad there are bits between the armour joints that are also red that would look better black/metal to break up the armour.

 

Also if you can get into some washed directed into the recesses. I can see evidence of washes used on some of the models but it could do with being darker for a stronger effect. Again it's really noticable on the assault marines for example on the legs behind the joints and the ridges in the armour on the thighs. Once it's dry you can go back over any areas you let it spill over a couple of times with your main colour.

 

Like I say this isn't a lot of work really but can really make the models look a lot more defined and give them some depth. Maybe try a dark browny wash and applied directly to the recesses. Maybe even water it down and give it a try, LET IT DRY and give it another go.

 

One other thing, there is a skull on one of the marines legs that has been painted red with the armour...Definately get that painted bone!

 

Hope that halps man
