Really nice minis are on your workbench :)
The first one is hard to comment, because there are only base colors. But this is a good start ;) On the cloth you need more contrast, I think by making the shades stronger.
Skorne guy - I am amazed that you didn't do the highlighting on armor with air brush, you really could go much further with it just like you did on the space marines ;)

As for the reds I would say, the base is good - now give it more contrast :)
You can go for the shades much further mixing red + a bit of dark blue + brown + black.
For the highlights go from red -> pink -> to white and at the very end give it a red wash or just diluted red paint. Because of the lower , lighter paints the red will look more reddish.

I think only a bit more contrast would help but actually glazing some more red into the colour to bring back much more of the colour instead of such a bleached out look. A nice progression so far tho :) keep going.

I pushed the highlights and shadows a bit more and did some more glazes as suggested it looks much better and is finished now just have to take some pics and post them , sorry about those photos as they are really hard to see the painting, had the flash on which destroyed the colours :doh:
