Just finished painting some of these myself; [New Paints]
Paint with watered down snakebite leather [Balor Brown] (so as not to lose detail)
Heavy drybrush with Dheneb Stone [Rakarth Flesh]
Wash with Badab Black [Nuln Oil]
Light drybrush with Bubonic Brown [Zamesi Desert]

Worked out pretty well for me, just dont do it gold like games workshop would have you do it. I tried it gold and it looked awfull.

I believe I did a snakebite leather base, then heavy drybrush of bubonic brown, then a light drybrush of bleached bone. You can see the results on my wip thread.

Thanks for the advice (and inspirational pics). I have followed talset's scheme and just need to do the final dry brush. I agree about the gold on the games workshop pics - though for some reason the Mahud with similar armour are done much better.
