Mh, the deffkopta looks alright, but it needs to be even reddah.
You've done an okay job with the marine aswell, he's a bit too colorful for my tastes, but it's up to you for what you want to paint your marines like, that, and bolter magazines usually aren't dark and neither are scopes, you could also try painting a bit of gold if you find a little gold emblem like the one on the bolter.
For both models, i noticed that you've left some parts unpainted, are those models still unfinished?

The Deffkopta I painted some parts gray. The marine, I accidentally glued the gun on him first so that's why it looks like that. But if your talking about his head that I painted gray.

It's Ceramite Armour. It's worn by both Space Marines and IG (Depending on regiment and/or rank.)

His mind was touched by Slaanesh when he decided those color schemes.
Also the marine was my on color scheme of my favorites. I think he looks ok, but he's not hardcore in your face kick ass.

Just goes to show that Jonah has so little hit points that he dies a mile away from battle.

Thin your paints, provide basecoats and use washes. The marine is also a bit too bright for my taste, but it is really up to you how to paint it.
At least he's not a boring Ultramarine.

Ultramarine and boring are literally synonym.
I had to replace titus's texture because it was fucking depressing looking at the bland blue.

When I do basecoats it comes out too shiny.

This. I tried a basecoat on my first one and well...

And this is a reminder why I'll refrain from buying WH figurines. I've been terrible at painting since kindergarten. I'd prolly just create some monstrosity.
[QUOTE=Space Jesus;32720772]Thin your paints, get a 10/0 brush, and take your time. I'm no artist and my fist mini came out ok.

This pretty much. I was painting with a big brush and didn't wait for it to dry in between paints.

what sort of paint are you using?
[QUOTE=Mikesword221;32720801]This pretty much. I was painting with a big brush and didn't wait for it to dry in between paints.[/QUOTE]
Looks like you weren't wiping off any excess from your brush either
What's the proper way to thin paints? Water to paint ratio or tricks to get it right?
Personally, the Tau I did I like a lot the way they are but everyone says to thin my paints so I'll try it. I want to get better at it painting anyway, so if this is something I need to learn I'll learn it.

I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks, I could have made the same mistake with my next one. :v:
So, in my journeys today of trying to find a store that sells model kits I found an awesome military surplus/gun store... and a Warhammer/40k/Magic the Gathering place.
Didn't want to come out of the 40k store empty handed so I bought a box of five marines. :v:

Add water and a [I]tiny[/I] amount of dish soap, to break the surface tension of the water, an absoloutely teeny bit. and personally I've found 2:1 water to paint for normal paints good and 3:1 water to paint for foundation paints.
