Recommended steps

Basecoat the main surfaces with Castellan Green, Zandri Dust, and Abaddon Black.

Apply Bugman's Glow and Ushabti Bone to the secondary details and support areas.

Use Kislev Flesh and Steel Legion Drab to sharpen highlights and final contrast.

Keep the strongest accent colours for the focal zones so the scheme stays readable across the army.
Tips
Hints for this army
1
Keep the foundation colours dominant so the army still reads clearly at tabletop distance.
2
Use the last accent and highlight paints sparingly to sharpen the focal points instead of repainting every surface.
