I built both sms and fusion so i can swap between but decided ill probably never use the rail rifles. I always make sure to use minimal glue anway so can always use nail polish remover to break the bond if i ever want to swap. The models are sweet tho! Didnt realise they were on dreadnought bases!

I would imagine the Yellow and blending is made easier with an Airbrush. But Nick is very very good with his, so the effect always seems to look great.
Nick did you edge the plates by hand, or is it more precise work with the Airbrush?
Few criticisms -
1) Looks like the paint on the Inquisitors Power Sword is a little thick. This close up, it's noticeable although at gaming distance it's probably not. Do you thin your paints, because the rest of the colours look really smooth.
2) Again something that at gaming distance doesn't matter, but you seem to have put a lot of effort into the faces, having their eyes done would rally make them shine. Don't go back and try (heaven forbid you ruin them trying to fix them,) but maybe next time.
3) The Runes on Njals Runic Weapon could do with being a contrasting colour, to the main body of the staff. Possibly also doing them on his Armour (although looking at the GW site [I wanted to make sure it was Njal, and not my memory playing up,]) they have left the Armour ones alone. But at the moment, on the Staff for definite, it appears to be notches that are in the shadows, rather than something of power.
