Following a quick prime and base coat, I washed Shrike in a mix of 2:1 Lahmian Medium and Agrax Earthshade. Although GW prescribes Nuln Oil as a wash for white power armor, I preferred to paint Shrike as he would appear during his guerrilla campaign against the Orks - there's no time for the artificer when you're behind enemy lines!
As opposed to the Celesta Grey / Ulthuan Grey method of painting white, i applied a base of Rakarth Earth. I imagine 10,000 year old power armor as an "earthy" relic and accordingly, painted the white helmet and arms to are a little dingey and weathered. From there, I layered up with pallid wych flesh and white scar highlights.
For some of the difficult areas to access, greaves, under the arms, etc. I've used a fine tip micron marker to clean up the lines around black armor and purity seals, sigils, etc.
Stay tuned for the final installment, coming soon!
