the main question is how much time you plan on each model as to get this type of quality would take several hours per model
are you familiar with wet blending as a technique? i can def tell you on the tubing for both models that is what they used.
in terms of the first dark blue/ orange guy i can tell you how they did it but with the old range (still havent memorized new equivalents so sorry if its confusing)
id say the range for orange lighting was blood red, white scars white, blazing orange, red gore, and possibly scab red in the mix.
gradually build the highlights and mix repeatedly to try and blend to get that smooth lighting effect. the actual shoulders look to be done with regal blue, space wolves grey or white scars white, and black. basically get as fine of an edge highlight as possible.
it looks to me like the second guy heavily uses washes. devlan mud and tin bits are in there. part of this almost looks non metallic metal so you might want to experiment a bit. weathering powders or the new dry brush range appear to be possibilities as well. experiment with bright colors and washes over in this guys case.
