What would be everyone's best guess at what citadel colors/order of colors were used to achieve this look.

I have no idea...other than to say ThirdEyeNuke is my all-time favourite painter...for everything.

This is the first time I've seen any of his work and it's a phenomenal paint job. I really like the aesthic.

You can find some demos on their YouTube page (thought ThirdEyeNuke was a chick, but I guess not)

They use a similar palette on a lot of things, so you'll get an idea.

It looks like they went from a bone color (Zandri Dust maybe?) and went up to a pure white. The transitions are gorgeous and I suspect a lot of paint mixing went into them ontop of airbrushing. If you wanted to replicate the colors used here use a gradient from Zandri Dust to Ushabti Bone to White Scar. You could try contacting the painter themselves and ask for the color palette used but it might not be citadel.

To me it looks a lot like what happened when I mistakenly grabbed my can of white primer thinking it was matte varnish. If I'd realized it could get rave reviews like this, I wouldn't have stripped and repainted it...
