What are the lower legs from? Don't recognize them...
Group looks good though, aside from those huge guns.

Some look to be Beachhead uppers, with different lowers. Two sets are Jungle Duke...and one is the stand by Ultimate SE version.
Well that explains it. RoC Wild Bill... never got him.
What to improve?
The black is very dark, especially for photos. Details are lost too. A very good alternative would be Tamiya's NATO black, which is a very dark grey - shade or two close to black. If you were to paint with the NATO black, then dry-brush with a slightly lighter grey, the details would really stand out much better.
Also... are you using the "flower", or close-up feature on your camera? If so, set the zoom to normal and move the camera closer. Direct overhead lighting might help too. Trying to get light from a room lamp or ceiling light isn't enough to illuminate the subject when it's farther away from the light source.

Nice. Cohesive but plenty of individuality.
I like what you did to the helmets. Have a few and been holding off not knowing what/how to improve. Thanks you've answered some of my questions especially with the earpieces.
Have you tried shooting in Landscape mode?
That is the only mode I use. Never a flash. All natural light. Camera has to be 100% still on a tripod or stack of books.
For dios lighting doesn't have to be that great as the shutter stays open longer.
For the shots you posted lighting would have to be decent.
Try it man, if you haven't already.

Nice looking crew.
The issue you had here was not enough light. A little more and the focus should improve a good bit.
still trying to improve the photos
