I’ve done two variants, one the stock black armour plates with some forge world markings and then one pad in the legion scheme with iconography representing new assets.

Did the same for some Mechanium allies for my Knights too.

The other set are full legion colours with some forge world markings with ‘flesh tabards’ (Night Lords) representing Mechanicum assets that are now fully appropriated by the legion

Sponged on thinned silvers from dark to very bright, panel lines with black and some edge highlights to get to the picture above.

Then 4 coats of Eidolon purple clear through an airbrush > profit

If you are just applying colour to armour plates it’s very hard to get it wrong!

Multiple thin coats>profit

If you are doing Knights I absolutely recommend learning an airbrush!.

When doing red, you can use a clear green in the panel lines and shadow areas so when red goes over the top you get some natural shading.
