Metal are for the most part Warhammer 'Grey Knights Steel' paint with a dark blue wash. I satin varnish the whole chariot and soldiers to make a protective layer and then gloss varnish the armor and metal pieces to bring the luster back up.
Was a lot of back and forth with me trying stuff, but it wasn't really working out, so it'll sound like a lot. Could probably get away with just the spotting and a base coat, but the pictures were this:
Dark grey base coat, then a bit lighter grey dry brush.
A black wash (Warhammer's Nuln Oil) to blend that because the dry brushing didn't really look right to me.
Then I blotted randomly with a small chunk of soft packaging foam of the same two base colors from before and a third brighter grey than the two base colors.
Feathers were just hand painted with the white tips, but they were dotted in two passes with a white that didn't cover well so it built up the color.
Then a matte varnish to make it all look uniform and soft

Cool model. Can't get over the size of the bow though... that guys compensating for something.

Haha, right? I figure they're typical war time long bows, but with Warhammer's usual, over the top silliness.

The metals look fantastic. Is that a metal point + Wash?
