These are some tutorials I did around DeepPaint 2, which is now free. There is a basic introductory one on the app itself, then a simple beginners one for texturing a dress.

Deep Paint 2 Tutorials

The premise is basically the same no matter what you're texturing..so hopefully these will help a little. Turning photos of a face into a texture can be a little more involved...I remember seeing some tuts on this a while back, I'll see if I can't dig them back out again.

If you are creating textures for the Mil figures, do a search through the free stuff here for SnowSultan's seam guides. These help show you where all the parts of the UVmap match up when you're painting a texture. Even if you're not, they will still be a good guide to see how you'll want to lay out your UVmap and then match up the seams to help you with your textures.

Also, and I'm still learning this part myself....if you're modeling in Max, use the built in UV mapping stuff it has. I'd say start with simple things and work your way up. I use a combination of Max mapping, UV mapper and DeepUV for my projects. There's still quite a bit I need to figure out, but I can generally pull off something that's not too bad.
