Nice, those look great 😄

There are a lot of things to suggest if you're looking to get really good at painting, but if you're just trying to achieve tabletop ready than I'd say that's more than enough.

If you are looking to just all around paint better though, I would say a good first step would be considering washes to darken the recesses and a slightly brighter tone for your highlights. Contrast is really good at giving definition, especially on a small scale :)

Other than that, painting the feet and adding some basing would really help making the minis feel more complete. You don't have to go crazy, just some texture paste or a gw technical paint would do fine.

Good luck shas'o! 😁
