For my first attempt I followed Game Workshop's step by step. Unfortunately by the time I got to the main color there was no detail left because of primer, basecoat, and color. I suspect this is because I was learning to fly before I learned to walk. I feel those techniques are for someone experienced, or willing to fail many times.
Actually it's not that bad, just lacks the nice contrasting detail. I think I can do better.
So I tried to do drybrushing. This was an epic fail. I think this would look very good with many hours and experience, but I am not there yet.
My third and best attempt follows. I skipped the basecoat and went straight to the color. Also by now I was much better at pushing the brush. I stayed in the lines so to speak.
This is the way I will go for now. It looks pretty good for a first army. I will finish the details such as gun, pants, shoulder emblem, etc.
All in all this was pretty hard for me. At this pace, I can do 1 model every 2 hours. Hopefully I get better and faster.
