You can use inks as well, I just water them down to help flow into the cracks.  Use a test piece to get the right mixture that you like, I use a 50/50 blend myself.  If you are going for the white look try using a dark to medium gray, or for a more natural look a brown wash.  For my skulls and bones I do a base coat of Bleached Bone then a wash of brown, let it dry fully and then go over it with a dry bush of Bleached Bone again to bring out the highlights.

Forgot to say that I was taking about the horns and skulls, pretty much any part that is just the pure white.

Sorry that I'm a litle late to the party...
But these are amazingly good for a first effort at painting models!

I think these are probably even better than my current painting and I'm like 4 armies in...
Beslubber!

Just do what everyone else has suggested and you will have a (bare minimum) table top standard army in no time!

Those are some pretty damn nice looking minis, pittman!

I love the green color, blends in nicely with the darker ones.

Nice I say!

you do a great job on the base coating of the models and you really did well on the terminator's eyes ( For some unexplainable raisons I always have trouble painting Termi Eyes).


Maybe try to drybrush the black parts of the armor with boltgun metal to give it a metal feel to the armor, and some flesh wash on the gold parts tunes down the goldness of the trims, or black ink with a bit of 50% alcohol for some black wash on the gold for some shadding deepness.

Excuse me?
Mix ink with alcohol to paint?

Do you mean with like turps or metholated spirits?
Wouldnt that burn through the plastic and actually get rid of the paint?
