It's definitely several layers of dry brushing. I couldn't tell you exactly which colors they used.But starting dark and then just building up a slightly lighter middle color. Then probably a wash in nuln oil. Then a final dry brush of the lightest color.

While I don't have a Forgeworld book telling me the exact colors they used I can tell you how I would paint something similar. Let's take a look:

Silver Metal: They have used a lot of stippling and sponging to create a very weathered and aged metal effect.
Base: Leadbelcher Wash: Diluted Nuln Oil 1:1 with Lahmian Medium in recesses Now the interesting part: Using sponging technique apply dark grey/black to the outside of the panel lines. Using light grey drybrush/stipple middle of panels. Stipple the panels uniformly with leadbelcher to create broken/mottled pattern within the black/grey. Highlight: Drybrush and edge highlight all the edges with ironbreaker or similar silver. Add random silver streaks to taste within the darker areas.

Bronze areas: Base: Runelord Brass all over. Wash: Diluted Agrax earth shade all over. Stipple with Dryad Bark on edges of bronze. (Very conservatively) Stipple/sponge with Runelord brass to create mottled pattern. Stipple/sponge on Sycorax Bronze. Edge highlight with Silver.

Orange Orbs: Base: Jokaero Orange, Layer Troll Slayer Orange, very top highlight with yriel yellow. (Blend each color into the previous one, painting a smaller and smaller area)

Markings: Wash undiluted Serapin Sepia into markings. Edge highlight with Ushabti Bone. Give finer edge highlight with Screaming skull at very corners.

I hope this helps. Cheers!

These are some of my works in case you wanted to gage if I have any idea what i'm talking about:

One thing to keep in mind is Forgeworld's studio standard is much higher than GW's. So painting it to match your army as a coherent whole can yield some good results as well.
