So I ordered some dwarves from http://www.momminiaturas.com/catalog-cat%C3%A1logo/figuras-28mm/
and I really, really like the paint job he has done to them in his gallery.

I have an airbrush and use it some, but I've never achieved or seen results like this. Is this a mix of layering metals and non-metals? Any advice would be highly appreciated

Looks like pure NMM with little blends and glazes to give those green and purple tints. You've got to know your stuff to pull off that sort of thing. I can simply drool in appreciation.

Looks like NMM to me, and probably brushwork rather than an airbrush.

However, don't let that pull you off, learning NMM is far easier than it looks. All I did when I decided I wanted to learn it was stare at NMM paintjobs, zoom in, see the colours, where they are, break that down to simple steps. Then, just practice. And practice. And practice.

Ah, I see. Well, that makes a problem. I want to make my dwarf army look good, but I have over 100 miniatures to paint for them and I would like to use the air brush where possible. I'll do a couple test runs with different methods to see what I like best.

I've looked up guides on NMM and it's hard to find good ones in my experience. Any links to those?
