I would say give the metalics a wash of something, and apply dry-brushed mettalics to the engine bits (vents, intakes, and exhaust... etc)
barring that, marveouls colors!

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from. |

I think that the black needs a little something extra. Like a slightly lighter shade of.. black.. before the final highlight of grey. Other than that, and some details which you said you just hadn't done yet, I think these look sweet! The red is nice and solid and red! And that TauKnight is turrriffying!

you're right, but I think some sort of a dark blue, like.... necron abyss for a highlight might make the colors pop

looks good man! The colors turned out great!
although now I have a much clearer understanding of why white is such a bad color on minis... one can't highlight it with anything, so it always washes out (not a criticism, just an observation of the color's behavior)

Yeah, aside from the incredible pain in the ~!@ that it is paint over black, white cannot be highlighted. But it does look great, in person (IMHO), on models when paired with the right colors! I just wish I had a better camera and more photo-fu for taking better pics...

Very nice! The painting is very crisp, and the white is nice and smooth. I like the color scheme, and the amazing conversions! You'll be one proud hobbyist when this army is finished, that's for sure.
