not bad! it seems like a great way to get minis done quickly and to a nice standard!
however i would recommend spraypainting or undercoating your models first! it gives the paint a nice surface to stick to!!

I agree with this whole heartedly, I ALWAYS prime my models (though I use an airbrush so the coat is thin enough to not fill details). It gives you a great starting point to paint on and always gives everything a more even look.

Though these models look stunning so far, what are you going to be putting on top of the reds on these models to bring it more depth, make it pop?

A good start here, look forward to seeing them done. Nice simple effective method to, just the sort I like!

My dv deathwing are gonna be converted for chaos I'm afraid!

The termies have progressed well. most of them are painted to a decent table standard but need some clean up in places.

The red on the chests needs a wash and some highlights to bring out the definition.

The bolter barrels will be drilled once i find a small enough bit in the toolbox.

any other suggestions and improvements are as always welcome.

These look fantastic. I love the red accents, and your approach to the white armor looks great.
