This is a Homebrew chapter trying to mix elements of the Iron Warriors with the Emperor's Children.
The main colours are brass, purple, silver, and green.
General Information:
My general method is to lay down all the base colours for the model, then do all the shading in the recesses before moving on to the highlights.
I don't own an airbrush so the recipe will mainly consist of Games Workshop spray cans and brush on paints.
Priming:
I find the metallic sprays from GW tend to be a little on the transparent side, so an initial undercoat of black helps.

- Prime over that with Leadbelcher
Silver (Armour Panels - Except for the Shoulder Pads)
