As the title states, I'm wanting either a reference guide or pictures on how best to paint Blackshield marines in 30k.

I really like the FW colour scheme, but I haven't a clue on where to start, and Google goes "nope" when searching for a guide, so I'm asking you, the painters of DakkaDakka for help in painting these guys!

Do you have a picture of FW colour scheme?

With the scrolling photos, 5ge scheme that is on the Rhino is the one I want to go for.

Looks like mostly drybrushing will get you the look you're after.

In would have said starting with a deep blue then doing a lot of sponging.with dark grey and Brown before picking a few edges out with the silver scrapes.

With the Rhino I''d say they've used a very dark grey (something like vallejo heavy charcoal) , possibly adding a little black to it so it's just about not quite black. Then dry-brushed a first highlight of the dark grey, then a second drybrush of a slightly lighter grey. The weathering, with usual techniques, though it looks like a green-yellow in alot of spots rather than rust.
