If you're looking for painting advice, I'd say start with picking up or making a wet palette and then thinning your paints.
Out of the pot the paint is usually too thick to properly apply to the model, so thinning it 1:1 with water will get you a far smoother application and give you more control.

The 1:1 is a rough guide but with experience you'll learn when to thin more or less.

Thinning your paint is usually the first bit of advice you'll get and it's always with good reason. You'll get a smoother finish, neater lines and have much more control. You will have to put on multiple coats to get an even finish, typically 2-3 depending on the pigment.

Using the GW paint system you usually prime the model, base coat it with your mid tone, which would be the green you used, wash using a shade which will give depth to the model, and then an edge highlight with a lighter green to give definition.

With practice and experience you'll add stages into this, like additional highlights or more depth to shadows.
