Arducius-
thank you!
it's rakarth flesh base coat (a pinky, purply, brown white), then stippled with screaming skull (sandy white) leaving some of the base coat showing. i use an old brush to get the paint texture.
then it's glazed with skeleton hoard
when it's dry i went back and edge highlighted the sharpest edges with screaming skull
recessed shadeed the deepest panels on the wings and such with agrax
you could push it further by adding a lighter off white to the stippling section, or a light dry brush after the glaze but i wanted it done in an afternoon.
the undercarridge is corvus black (grey black), dry brushed with leadbelcher (gun metal) then a lighter dry brush of bright silver. any heated engine parts i picked out with a off white and then glazed with blue contrast paint. again you could push this with an edge highllight and using a purple; orange glaze with the blue for heat effects.
at its core, base coat, lighter shade stippling, then glaze, i find is a great way to get a readable, quick paint job which has some interest to it. you can also use a sponge to stipple it instead to create something softer

Partner got me a box of shroud runners for Xmas, i don’t like flying bases so made then a regular base with the usual cork and texture paint, a little 2mm wire, still working out the angle to pose it so not drilled and tapped yet
I like how it came out! Done in one evening while watching chainsaw man and witch from mercury
my palette is cleansed now, I’m going to crack on with my orange space marine project. I also received some blooded and some skiitari (was clearly a good girl this year), then while I was in Nottingham for work I bought the sydonian skatros (I love him he’s so goofy). My plan is to paint the skitari in complimenting colours and base them the same as the space marines, then do the blooded in a similar way, hopefully long term build it out to having all of my fave 40K models based and painted in schemes which look like they’re all on the same battlefield.
No interest in playing but a lot in diorama
