Looking nice, Bill!
Might I suggest you take the next step in your journey? Washes.
You can buy the actual 'Washes' like Badab Black or Ogryn Flesh from Games Workshop, or you can use a really watered down black or brown. Then you use this to cover almost the whole piece. Use the brown for flesh areas, and the black for all others. You can even do washes with other base colors like blue, red, green, purple, etc. The watered down paint basically tends to stick in the low areas of the model, and really make your features pop. This especially helps on things like faces, cloaks, armor, etc. Helps your 3-D features stand out better.
Also, looks like some of the models could use a coat of matte clear coat. Might just be the photos though.
Oh, and is it me, or does the Mando Gunsmith look like a Power Ranger?
I know nothing of washes, and all the Games Workshops around me closed down a couple of years ago. Whenever I get the chance I'll try to check out some hobby stores for these "washes" things. As for the clear coat, I have a spray can of glossy sealer, which now that I'm done, I intend to paint onto each mini (it was way cheaper to buy the spray). Should I not use gloss even though it's supposed to be totally clear?
And speaking of the Mando GS - I now have two just like it and I totally dig the power ranger look - that's what Erin was kind of going for. I told her I wanted these guys to really stand out on the battle field, and that's what she came up with
