Relatively quick Dark Angels armour:
1. Basecoat with Dark Angels Green Spray-Primer
2. Black ink wash.
3. Drybrush with Dark Angels Green.
This gives a nice shading effect in all of the recesses in the armour, and it keeps the green a nice dark shade.
Alternatively, you can Basecoat with Black Primer and skip the ink wash, but it does not look as good.
For Deathwing armour and Vet Sgt robes, I do the following:
1. Basecoat with Bleached Bone spray, or spray white with a layer of bleached bone painted over the top.
2. Flesh wash or Chestnut ink wash. I prefer the Chestnut, it is darker and provides more depth.
3. Drybrush with Bleached Bone.
4. Lightly drybrush with Skull White.
For HQ Terminator robes, I do the opposite and paint them green to tie them back into the rest of the army. Follow the steps for Dark Angel Armour, and add a final very light drybrushing of a lighter green to make them pop.
Icons, Terminator Honours, etc:
1. Basecoat with Black.
2. Drybrush with Codex Grey.
3. Lightly drybrush with Skull White.
The Codex Grey makes the icons pop against the Bleached Bone of the Terminators' armour.

The hinting tone, the haunting laugh:
Thou art the adorner of my tomb,
The minstrel of mine epitaph."
