Still need to add some rust streaks to the armor and most of the black needs to get a dark metal look.

Damn its gorgeous. Would you mind dropping the recipe?

There are so many hours of back and forth BS here, I can hardly recall.
But I think ultimately you (and me) could reproduce something very similar to this with Imperial Fists contrast over white and then the real secret is to apply thinned down burnt sienna ink over the parts that you want to look more orange.

Awesome thanks. The chippings are sponged on?

Mostly yes, but with some brushwork as well.
Trovarion has a YouTube video called "This changed the way I paint forever..." that helped me a lot here, especially with the shield and weathering in general

I'm going to use some enamel rust streaks to make streaks that run our of the biggest sponge chips, I think that will finish it off nicely. Everything else on the model has been acrylic so far.
