One of the best painting tips I can think of - thin your paints! Try not to use paint straight from the pot as it is - mix a little bit of water with it first, either on a palette or in the lid, if you're using GW paints. A few thin layers are better than one thick layer, and thinner layers also makes it easier to blend the colours together. The green on the cloak was done just with building up thinned layers of the three different greens, blending them together while they were still wet.
Also have a look around the 'net for stuff on wet palettes, they'll be able to explain them better than I can. I used a wet palette for some of the blending on this model, especially on the smoke and other white areas.
Try and get your hands on a really fine paintbrush too, that helps a lot with fine detail and small fiddly areas.
I hope that helps some, let me know if you have any other questions! Those models you linked look pretty good for a first go!
Luckily I don't think much.
Thank you!
