Alternative take on the Imperial Fists.
I find the metallic sprays from GW tend to be a little on the transparent side, so an initial undercoat of black helps.
- Prime with Chaos Black
- Prime over that with Leadbelcher
Silver (Armour Trim)
- Drybrush with Leadbelcher to even coverage
- Shade the recesses with Nuln Oil
- Highlight the edges with Stormhost Silver
For grenades, replace Nuln Oil with Athonian Camoshade
Yellow (Armour Panels)
When I originally tried this scheme I put the yellow directly over the dark silver but this required 5 thin layers to get full opacity. I would recommend covering the areas you want to be yellow with a thin layer of Celestra Grey

- Highlight the edges with Yriel Yellow
- Highlight fine points and sharp edges with Dorn Yellow

- Base with Kantor Blue
- Shade the recesses with Nuln Oil
- Highlight the edge with Caledor Sky

For gems, I added an additional extreme highlight of Baharroth Blue

- Base with Abaddon Black
- Highlight the edges with Eshin Grey
Brown (Leather)

Horns
