Forge World Diemos has a pretty unusual colour scheme. Heres my take on it.

  1. Priming in black (I like Vallejo mecha colour because it's a bit glossy and goes through the airbrush better)
  2. Dry Brush or base coat in a steel. I used Sir Coates Silver but anything goes.
  3. Dry brush trim in gold. I used Dragon's Gold but whatever you want.
  4. Base coat non metallic sections in Dark Sea Blue
  5. Highlight with Turquoise
  6. Highlight with Blue Green . You may prefer Light Blue Green for a less subtle highlight
  7. Wash with Coelia Greenshade , base using Burnt Red
  8. Final highlight using a mix of the original Blue Green highlight mixed in with Ice Yellow but you may prefer using Nihilakh Oxide . Wash the base using a mix of red and orange oxide pigment powders, mixed into Vallejo airbrush thinner.
