This is my take on a scheme for the Agents of the Inquisition.
  The main colours are silver, gold, and bronze with green and red elements.
General Information:
My general method is to lay down all the base colours for the model, then do all the shading in the recesses before moving on to the highlights. 
I don't own an airbrush, so the recipe will mainly consist of brush on paints.
Priming:
I find the metallic sprays from GW tend to be a little on the transparent side, so an initial undercoat helps.
- Prime the model lightly with   Chaos Black  
 - Prime over that with   Leadbelcher  
 
Silver (Armour):
- Drybrush over the model with   Leadbelcher  to even out the coverage
 - Shade the recesses with   Nuln Oil  
 - Drybrush upper facing surfaces with   Ironbreaker  
 - Lightly drybrush upper facing parts with   Stormhost Silver  
 - Highlight the edges with   Stormhost Silver  
 
Gold (Armour Details - Shoulder pads, Inset details):
- Base with   Retributor Armour  
 - Shade the recesses with   Agrax Earthshade  
 -  Add   Seraphim Sepia  into the lowest lying recesses 
 - Add a slight highlight to the middle with small amounts of   Auric Armour Gold  
 - Highlight fine edges with   Stormhost Silver  
 
Bronze (Armour Details - Keys, Skulls, Assorted Details):
- Base with   Balthasar Gold  
 - Shade the recesses with   Agrax Earthshade  
 - Add a highlight using a 1:1 mix of   Balthasar Gold  and   Canoptek Alloy  
 
Green (Details - Cloth):
- Base with   Incubi Darkness  
 - Shade the recesses with   Nuln Oil  
 - Re-apply the   Incubi Darkness  on the upper facing portions of the fabric
 - Speckle on thin amounts of   Kabalite Green  into the middle of the   Incubi Darkness  and along the edges
 - Inside that, speckle   Sybarite Green  leaving some of the other colours showing
 - Add a final highlight by speckling   Sybarite Green  mixed 1:1 with   White Scar 
 
Brown (Details - Leather pouches, Weapon grips):
- Base with   Rhinox Hide  
 - Shade over with   Agrax Earthshade  
 - Roughly highlight the middle with lines of   Skrag Brown  
 - Add a fine highlight of   Ushabti Bone  over areas of   Skrag Brown  
 
Red (Details - Gun casings, Purity seals):
- Base with   Mephiston Red  
 - Shade the recesses with   Agrax Earthshade

 - Add a fine highlight of   Fire Dragon Bright  
 
Blue (Details - Power cables):
- Base with   Sotek Green  
 - Shade the recesses with   Nuln Oil  
 - Highlight the middle with   Temple Guard Blue  
 - Add a fine highlight of   Baharroth Blue  
 
Beige (Details - Paper):
- Base with   Rakarth Flesh  
 - Shade over with   Agrax Earthshade  
 - Roughly highlight the edges with   Rakarth Flesh  
 - Highlight the edges with rough lines of   Pallid Wych Flesh  
 
Unhealthy Skin:
- Base with   Rakarth Flesh  
 - Apply a thinned wash of   Guilliman Flesh  mixed with   Lahmian Medium  all over
 - Layer with   Rakarth Flesh
