Hey chaps n Chappettes

I'm finally looking at painting my iron warriors, however what GW paints should i buy to do so? And what combination should i paint them? I would love to have a my iron warriors, emperor's children and death guard all looking excellent when i put them in my soon to be arriving display case, as i have just moved to a new place. I'm currently painting mine somewhat like this -

Black undercoat + Chainmail + detailing + Wash is all I've been doing on some test models.
I'm not particularly knowledgeable at painting btw, i just convert and game most of the time :p

I would say, black primer, leadbelcher. Then wash with either nuln oil or agarax (personal preference on your part), re go over with leadbelcher. On yellows you might want someone else's opinion cause I don't paint much yellow, but looks like averland sunset base, with a lighter highlight, don't quote me though. For the bronze I would say balthasar gold, with a wash, highlight of ghenna or auric armor gold. Hope I could help a bit

Check my iron warriors blog if interested but I started with a grey primer plus a thinned down chaos black over that. When that was dry I liberally coated the models with thinned down bolt gun metal & inked with nuln oil then agrax earthshade & then highlight with bolt gun metal, drybrush with chainmail.

For the yellows:
White, thinned elf flesh, tausept ochre, averland sunset, sepia wash.

Excellent! Thank you for the help! If anyone has any more tips, that'd be well appreciated!
