You could do them in a cream or a light grey, don't shade and highlight as normal but on the final highlight try to do light sourcing in pure white, you could add tiny white crosshairs on corners etc.

An very very fine example of this technique painted by Joseph Summerfield, look at the sword in particular, although it is edged probably with Runefang steel the technique is the same.

That terminator is absolutely amazing. It's awe inspiring that some people possess that level of talent.

Another great painter, Michal Pisarski look how he has used white to edge the gold and make it shine, also look at the gem on the sword it is highlighted gold at the bottom as a reflection from the sword hilt.

Check out his Witch elves they are amazing.

These guys are professional painters but the level of quality and detail is mind blowing.

It's scary how alive they look, I just love how this guy uses colours as well, very simple, never too many.

I always try to limit the amount of colours I use to around 5/6 but Michal "Lan" has it down to an art form.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I thought you may find the pics of interest.

I wonder how long it takes him to paint one of those witch elves?

His work is so good that it's discouraging... kind of makes me want to throw all my paints out the window. That level of skill can't be learned by ordinary folk.

Maybe you can't learn to that level but you sure can take inspiration and loads of hints and tips.
 
80hours... OMG!! I'm happy if have 5 hours a week!
 
That's right! But I think he's making some profit with his skills instead of working as a landscaper like me. Great skills
 
@Crowsfoot
thanks for the tips and inspiration now just have to work out how to do it on skin/scale without making it look tacky

@tom ndege
who knows you may end up as a full time painter for a company and you'll have all the time u want to paint
 
I like how you have made each model feel unique. I did the same thing with many of my lizard men units. Lizard men make it easy to get away with since they aren't wearing uniforms. I love the skink priest he looks pretty cool
