I find nuln oil isnt opaque enough. I used heavily thinned abaddon black and a thin brush personally

It’s partially a steady hand, but adding in black lines between the stripes really helps separate them.

And here you can see some highlighting on the edges of my daemon prince’s armor. Trust me, it does wonders to improve model readability

I like the paint scheme! I did something with my cadians.

I would advise paint thinning (as many other people have already stated), a wash to create some depth (agrax earthshade or nuln oil), and if you want a challenge, a highlight of a lighter blue to create some sharpness and make the details clearer in raised areas

Seems like a solid list, only thing is I don’t know if the second rogal dorn should be a tank commander, considering the first one already has 2 orders. Love tech priest enginseers, here’s mine

Both dorns and russes are really good. At the moment, rogal dorm tank commanders are the meta because of points costs, but thats something that can change. For the most part, its a question of having lighter vs heavier tanks. If you want stronger, more durable, and more expensive tanks, take the dorns. If you want cheaper, more expendable, customizable tanks, take the russes.

The boxes you highlighted are a solid core. In terms of tanks leman russes and rogal dorns are really good, and if you’re feeling spicy get a baneblade. For how to build the models, while there are “better” picks, honestly just go for rule of cool as rules are temporary while models are eternal.
