Blue, Crimson fists I would would go to lbursleys site to check out his methods. I'm guessing it was mordian blue with a a 50-50 badab/asurmen wash, then mordian then ultra edge highlight. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338892/2313854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338892/2313854.page GMT
I avoid enchanted blue because it'll make the Crimson Fists look too "electric blue", and I haven't tested with Ultramarines blue because mine dried out :cries:

If I can get a camera, I'll try to post the results. MajorTom's suggestion is also good, LB does some pretty cool stuff. Doghouse over at Warseer also did some cool dark-blue marines, and m.ike here on dakka has recently posted a nice tutorial on Night Lords, but this one uses some colour mixing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338892/2313969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338892/2313969.page GMT SW Gray, and SW Gray alone, finally finished with a light glaze of Asurmen Blue and matte medium on the highlights.

For your gems, I think Major Tom's got the right idea. I do orange eyes and gems for my Crimson Fists that are basecoated white then Sunburst Yellow and a smaller offset concentric oval of Blazing Orange, followed by the traditional dot of Skull White between layers. It's backwards from the traditional method, but it's a lot easier for me than getting that razor thin streak of yellow around the edge.
