Khonner in case it takes him a bit to answer, it looks like he starts with a gray, or maybe even a blue gray, and goes progressively closer to white as it gets smaller. I'll do a tutorial next week if you'd like.

"Sky Earth Non-Metallic Metals," as far as I understand. You can see it on the (crazy well done) gun--the surface of the metal is so shiny that it reflects the brown of the ground and the blue of the sky.

That's right. Other basics of it are like this. From the bottom of a surface and up you start out with the grounds color, normally green or brown. Make it the lightest brown at the bottom and work up, making the brown darker and darker until you get to the horizon line (HL) which should be near black. Now start with the sky, and this starts out pure white turn goes to the lightest color of the sky-normally blue. Get progressively darker as you go up. That's it basically, add a glint for the sun maybe and edge highlight in white on places. The HL is shaped differently depending on the type of surface. On a shield it would be curved extreme on the edges. On a cylinder no matter what it must go across the x axis, even if this make no sense in relation to the actual horizon. The tilt of the surface determines how much sky or earth is shown. That's it in a nut shell. A fun effect to paint, looks exceptional on multiple chrome surfaces in close proximity, like a robot.

Oh, also sky earth doesn't have to be done with steel. You can do it with gold, blue, whatever color. Just keep the same principles but substitute the brown and blue with the appropriate colors. A reflective gold is sometimes appropriate rather than standard gold NMM for example.

Did you use a metallic or just plain white for the highlights on the black armor? Nice job!

Paints used on black armor: grey(VMC), white(VMC), chaos black(GW) and for glazes Liche purple(GW), Khorne Red(GW), Evil sunz scarlet(GW) - shade midtones and regal blue(GW) - highlight midtone. That's all :)

Airbrush work done, now time for boring black lining. After that it will be fun with highlighting, shadowing and weathering ;) #Spacewolves

Terrain and bases are a great things to practice airbrushing on. If your friend have unpainted terrain offer to do it for them, even some stores will accept offers to paint their gaming terrain or repaint it if it needs updating/repair.

Yeah Hooy is another gr8 painter who's work is so crisp and technically perfect. Not much room for improvement with this guy painting like this. Another one with "superhuman abilities" like Michael Jordan can dunk a ball from a free throw line. Like a modern day fast gunslinger can empty the barrel of a six shooter in under 1.2 seconds and hit everything he aims for dead center . Guys like bohun , jarhead, rapaz, and HooY these guys paint well well well above the fantastic mark. Just everybody be thankful we get to witness their works in our lifetimes.

Thank you! :)
Shading, highlighting and midtones are done for blue. I hope I've achieved icy look of the armor :) Now it's time for yellow parts, NMM and at last weathering :p
