Step by Step painting my Dwarf SciFi/Steampunk Force

I am going to show step by step my creation of a sci-fi/steam punk dwarf army. I am using the Kharadon Overlords from Games Workshop and the Einherjar from Wargames Atlantic. During the build I swapped in some parts from the GW kit into the WA kit to make them a little funkier. 

Above is the state of the models after giving them a prime of black spray paint and an attempt to zenethal highlight them with white spray paint. The paint was not the best and the coverage was spotty  but at least the paint was smooth.
The next step was to even out the zenethal highlighting using Golden High Flow Acrylic Tittinium White using a dry brush technique. Now the white on the top of each model is far smoother and the dark of the black is much more shadowy.
The final part of the day's work was using Citadal Contrast paint Snakebite Leather to  coat the models. tThe picture above shows two of the WA Einherjar models one with just the black and white and the other with the Snakebite Leather. The head on the model on the right game from the GW set.  The next step will be to dry brush all of the metal parts with Weapon Bronze by Army Painter. 

The overall goal here is to use mostly warm colors on the armor, weapons and clothing and then highlight the power areas with blue and/or green so that they really pop.
