Emperor's Spears Metallic Questions

[Aothaine]

Hello everyone!

 

Gonna test this out as soon as I get my airbrush in April for my birthday. I've been watching a bunch of air brush tutorials and one I found I really enjoyed was this:

 

1) Prime in Dark Silver

2) Create light source in Light Silver

3) Apply Hoeth Blue over armor focusing more coats over the spots hit by the light source but not completely covering the silver.

 

 

 

I'm going to try and get the metallic look in the image below.

 

These questions are about blue Vallejo Air paints

 

My question is I much prefer the paint droppers that Vallejo puts their paint in. But I'm having difficulties finding the right paint to match Hoeth Blue. I think it is USAF Light Blue or IDF Blue but it could be Faded P.R.U. Blue. What do you guys think? What about UK Azure Blue?

 

Also, what color should I use for the shade areas? I was thinking Dark Blue RLM24 could work. 

 

I will be working a lot with painter's tape and thin plastic to do as much work as possible with the air brush. I want to only have to do edge highlighting with my brush. I plan on getting the 3 sculpts for the runes and the chapter badges as well as unique helms. 

 

 

 

Thank you in advance everyone!
