These are some of my first miniatures I've painted, suggestions and tips are much appreciated!

pretty awesome for a first time! Ive found with gw metals you should make sure the layer you are building on is totally dry before you put another coat on as it keeps it from looking chunky. Also just drill out your gun barrels and you're all set.
I can't tell if you did it in the pics but a light wash or glaze of blue will really make that silver armor pop ( unless you're going for a more gritty type thing)
You're off to a great start man.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when I start on my terminators!

I can't see the Justicar's pauldrons very well, but a brown wash around the raised letters with really bring them out. Then for an extra pop, do a VERY light drybrush of a bright gold. This can be done for the Terminators too.

They look great though. Love the blue glaze around the eyes.
