The masterclass was also in Chronicles 2003 which I have somewhere around here. I'll look for it and see if I can help.
EDIT: Found it. I'm just going to transcribe word for word what it says.

The four pieces of Archaons Daemonic steed were assembled first. Next the body, helmet and sword arm were fixed together but left unattached from the horses body. The shield was painted separately as were the reins. Each of these parts were then given and undercoat with a spray of Chaos Black followed by a touch of thinned chaos black to paint any areas of the model where paint had failed to catch.
The daemonic steed was painted first. The Chaos Black undercoat on the flesh was first highlighted with a mix of equal parts Chaos Black and Codex Grey. More Codex Grey was then added to this at each successive stage to bring the highlights up to Codex Grey on its own.
The mane and tail of the steed were then painted with the same highlights as the flesh except that Fortress Grey was then used to continue the highlight stages.
The chainmail around the saddle section was painted with Boltgun Metal. This was then drybrushed with Chainmail followed by Mithril Silver. Blazing Orange with a small amount of Bestial Brown mixed in was then thinned down with water and applied to the chainmail to create rusty patches.
To paint the steed's hooves an equal parts mix of Chaos Black and Bestial Brown was painted over the Chaos Black undercoat. This was then highlighted by adding Bubonic Brown to the mix, followed by Bleached Bone. The strap on the underside of the horse was painted with a basecoat if Scorched Brown. Bleached Bone was added to this for highlights and, to finish off, was given a wash with Brown Ink.
The rune on the rear of the steed was painted with a basecoat of Red Gore, which was highlighted by adding Bleached Bone, followed by a wash with Red Ink. The same colors were also applied to sections where horns emerge from the steeds flesh.
The first part of Archaon to be painted was the fur, as this would be drybrushed. A basecoat of Scorched Brown and Snakebite Leather was applied first. Increasing amounts of Bleached Bone were then added to the mix for each successive drybrush. The claws were given further highlights with Bleached Bone. To finish the fur, it was given a wash with thinned Brown Ink.
Archaons armor and shield were painted with Chaos Black. The edges of the armor were then picked out with a basecoat of Blood Red. This was also highlighted by adding small amounts of Fiery Orange to the basecoat. The spike on the shield was given extra highlights with Fiery Orange.
A basecoart of Scab Red was used to paint the cloak and reins. Small amounts of Bleached Bone were added to this for the highlight stages.
The helmet and Chaos symbol on the shield were painted with a basecoat of Dwarf Bronze. This was then given a wash with Brown Ink. Shining Gold was then painted over this, followed by a final highlight of an equal parts mix of Shining Gold and Mithril Silver.
The skulls were painted with a basecoat of Bestial Brown. Bubonic Brown was used for the first highlight stage, followed by Bleached Bone. Black Ink was then applied to the runes engraved in the bone.
The stirrups and buckle were painted with a basecoat of Boltgun Metal, which was highlighted with chainmail, followed by Mithril Silver.
The horns on the horse and Archaon were painted with a basecoat mix of Chaos Black and Bestial Brown. Small amounts of Bleached Bone were added for each successive highlight stage, bringing the highlights up to Bleached Bone on its own.
Archaons sword was painted with a basecoat of Boltgun Metal. This was then highlighted with Chainmail, followed by Mithril Silver. The section of the sword near the handle was given a glaze with thinned black ink. Moving up the blade a glaze of Red Ink was applied, blending it in with the black. This then changed to Yellow Ink further up the blade, again blending the inks together. The very tip of the blade was then repainted with Mithril Silver which had a little Yellow Ink mixed in.The inside of the blade was painted with Blood Red, highlighted by adding Fiery Orange, followed by Sunburst Yellow.
The base was given a drybrush with an equal parts mix of Chaos Black and Codex Grey. This was highlighted with Codex Grey on it's own, followed by a final highlight of Fortress Grey. The rock was given a subtle wash with a mix of Green Ink and Blue Ink to add a small amount of color. The Spikes were painted a basecoat of Scaly Green. Bleached Bone was then added to this for successive highlights.
Hope that helps.
