Overall, the color scheme is very...

...bright. Kinda refreshing to see in the "grim darkness of the far future".

I like how you put smoke in the barrel of the rocket launcher, as if a rocket shout out of it about ten seconds ago.

I have to say that your bases look pretty good from what i can see.

Point of personal taste, I think the models look too clean. This is coming from a person who plays and paints Ork and Imperial Guard stuff, and especially with the ork stuff, it doesn't look right without some grime, dirt, rust, or signs of wear. I know Space Marines are more likely to thoughtfully and thoroughly clean their armor, but in the middle of a battle, they're bound to get at least a little dust on their boots, some carbon scoring on the muzzles of their bolters from firing them so much, and perhaps a little soot on the helmet and hand of the guy firing the rocket launcher as the rocket shoots its exhaust backwards to go forwards. Purely optional, the models look great without it, but I prefer a little realism.

hehe well the colors are because it's a self made chapter, still wokring on all the chapter background and such.
A little grime and such will be added but i wanted to have them finished as far as they are now so i could play a game with at least some good looking models on the table.

The models would greatly benefit from painted bases, even if they are supposed to be snowy, it would help a great deal if they were a different colour from the models standing on them.

As far as your bases go, watch, learn, go to a beauty supply store.
