Your WoW ones are reading flat because you're using just one hue and making it darker or lighter by just adding black or white to them. You need to understand painting light and shadow less as just adding black or white, but that you're changing the color temperature as well.

Thank you for the feedback Is there any tutorials you could point me towards that could help me with this?
Going back to art fundamentals will help your textures. A few years ago, I was struggling with hand painted textures until I took a step back and realized my art fundamentals were really bad. I took some online workshops such as "Becoming a Better Artist" and focused on perspective, figure drawing, lighting, color theory, values etc for about a year straight before I dove back into 3D. There are a lot of tutorials and books out there so I'll list out a few that helped me.

over all they look really clean and new, I would add some wear and tear to them. Mess them up a bit, that adds so much life to them.
As far as the painting is concerned, I try to use black and white as little as possible. The cool thing about the hand painted style normally is how colorful they are. Use some purples, blues, and other cool colors for your shadows, and similarly use some yellows, oranges, and other warm colors for your highlights.
