Speaking of WW2 stuff, does anyone have any advice for painting (semi-realistic) cockpit canopies? I have a bunch of small 1/200 hurricanes and such which I've just painted the canopies of black-grey cause I'm not sure how to approach them in a way that doesn't look overly exaggerated.

I dunno, but as soon as I print off some tiny WW2 planes I'll experiment and let you know what I come up with. Also, at tiny scales overexaggerated actually looks really good. See also most of Nebalebadingdong's tiny 6mm trucks.

Anyone have any advice on using pigments or how to lock them into bases? Im planning on using some for dust build up on some bases but not quite sure how to do it yet. I am planning to watch some tutorials online later.
You can fix them in place with mineral spirits. If you're going to do the dust before you varnish, you're best off varnishing with an airbrush at very low pressure (so as not to blast the pigment off in the process).

I legit loved the old clear green necrom bits. A common kitbash back then was to find other colored clear rods of the same size, so you'd see necrons with red or orange guns
I did bespoke red ones for my Necrons back in the day. They were a pain in the rear end to do, but I loved the way they turned out.
