No like techniques, resources, that kind of stuff

Well, I'm on a budget so I mainly use the cheap acrylic paint from Walmart, Apple Barrel brand.
1.) With nearly all figures, I clean then start out with a black acrylic primer. Really large figures, like a Carnegie Brachi, would get a primer the same color as their primary color scheme.
2.) I then dry-brush the figure with white, to start bringing out the details.
3.) Now, then the fun part = painting!
4.) After painting is completed, I'll cover it with a ink-wash, which really isn't ink, I guess. Its just 5-6 drops of a dark color mixed with floor finish. This helps the details pop out more.
5.) Last step is spraying it with a gloss finish. Some like to use a matte finish, but I like my figures shiney and glisteny.

Nice works! I like them. But you drybrush them AFTER the Primer? I drybrush in the End of everything.

Nice work! I find the Concavenator especially mesmerizing.
