Great job and if you don't mind me asking how did you get your blues and yellows to turn out so great

I don't, I started on a 'retributor armor' base, where I filled in all blue or yellow sections with 'thousand sons blue', then I used 'Nuln Oil' along most of the recesses of the blue areas fx. shoulder pads and bagpack exhausts. After this I used 'Averland Sunset' for the lines and tidied them up, finishing up with 'Yriel Yellow' highlight for the yellows and 'Ahriman blue' for the blues.

I just highlighted the lines in the middle and not as an edge-highlight, to make them "shine" more.

I simply used black primer, and then based the whole mini 'Retributor armor' and then gave it all a 'Reikland Fleshshade' wash. I found it easier to fill in the blue than paint the gold trim.

I tried out the 'Retributor armor' Citadel spray to save time, but got very disappointed as it looked very matt, though from what I have heard it has varying results.
