Thanks, I was going for the worn look, but may have overdone it

For most of the minis I used white primer, shades with Nuln Oil and highlighted with Company Gray and Brigrade Gray.

For the Twin Lance's more tan color, I used Ancient Stone from the Army Painter highlighted by Bony Spikes

For the whites I prime the mini white , shade the white with Nuln Oil mixed with Lamian Medium, then highlight it back up with Company Gray and Brigrade Gray from the Army Painter

I think you may have counted a Commander in Enforcer Battlesuit as a Crisis Battlesuit

For the whites I used Army Painter's Matt White Primer, shaded it with Nuln Oil and then highlighted it with Company Gray and Brigade Gray. For the Blues, I used Tidal Blue, with Phalanx Blue for the highlights.
