Very nice works.
If you are looking for some tips, I think the skin is a little bit too shiny (maybe the inks/washes are the culprit?). An hand of matte spray or matte medium by brush would help make it look more natural.
Anyway, I like your jacks, and I think in general the army is coming out very well.

The clothes from Amon are nice! If you could work a little bit on your pictures, lightbox or natural light, I'm sure, they would look even better  |

Thanks all for the feedback. I'll have make a light box or invest in one so I can take better pics.
I'll definitely look for a mat finish.

I can see that you've put a lot of work into your models. Unfortunately the photography is not being kind to them, so it's hard for me to give useful feedback. What I can say is that they look well painted, with a stark contrasts that I expect look good on the table. They do seem a bit shiny; a heavier application of matt varnish might be useful. Also, I'm personally not a fan of using bright colours on base rims, because I feel that they take away from the models themselves (the monk, with his very dark colour scheme, is a particularly good example of what I mean). Maybe you could try a darker colour to mark your arcs, just to see if you like it more than the cream/white you've used on these models.

Yeah never been too happy with my photos, so something to work on. I'll definitely give the arc a different color maybe sanguine base. As for the shine I think that was from my sealer I look into a good matt varnish one that I could apply by hand. Any recommendations? |

The only good brush-on matt varnish I've found is Vallejo's (simply called "matt varnish" I believe), but personally I've gone full aerosol now and use Mr UV Cut spray on gloss and matt varnish for everything. It's a pretty pricey option, but I get so few models painted these days that I can live with that. Luckily the weather where I live is pretty good for it; I know in some places and times using a spray-on is not easy.

It works great and actually that finish helps a lot making everything feel more uniform. The only problem is that it's very Matte, so if you don't pay attenction it risks to kill the shine of metals too. Nothing that a last hand on metal colors or an hand of a gloss varnish over the sealer can't fix, but it's something to keep in mind when you use spray Matte sealers.  |
