i use mainly Pactra and Vallejo acrylics - the only Citadel paints i own are metallics - they surely are the best.
okay, so here goes - tutorial for P1 repaint:
base color for skin - Africa Yellow (Pactra - i'll be using Pactra as default, will say when using other brand):

few drybrushed layers of Africa Yellow mixed with more and more White Matt:

next, a 30/70 mix of Africa Yellow and Yellow watered down very much and aplied as a very light wash in places where the dark body color will meet the pale parts:
another wash from heavily watered down Rust, covering the same places, but with previous, yellow layer still visible between - we're aiming for a nice blending effect:
the dark, almost black color i use is a mix of Black Matt and Rust (something like 80/20, or even more black - it should look almost black):
the last layer of wash to blend the colors - a mix of Rust and Black Matt (75/25).
the skin is almost ready - using a lot of reference materials, i tried to copy the spotted pattern on the skin using Black Matt. Quills were painted with A107 RAL - a dark grey color (they should be black, but i use dark grey to differ them from the spots):
next is the armor. i primed all the parts black, then drybrushed the first layer with a mix of: Mithril Silver (Citadel), Goblin Green (Vallejo), Africa Yellow, and Black Matt (can't really say what proportions i used - but AY and Black should be just about 1/4 of the mix.
then, i drybrush over a mix of Mithril Silver and a drop of RAL - just to break the shininess of silver:
next, some dirt here and there, drybrushed with Africa Yellow (not too much, too little is always better than too much)
the last part of armor - black blast marks - again, used reference pictures to figure where exactly they are:
the netting was done with RAL, bone necklace washed (Rust + Orange) and drybrushed (Yellow + Orange), feet and hands the same way as the rest of the body. leather stripes were painted with a mix of Rust and Black. Same for the skirt, but then i drybrushed over a layer of the same mix with some Africa Yellow added.
now the biohelmet. i painted it exactly like the rest of armor parts, and then, using a sponge, added some dirt using Black and Africa Yellow. the last part was a really light layer of drybrush, using a mix of Mithril Silver and very light grey. then added the blast mark, and that's it. Unmasked heads were done like the body, but with some heavier Rust wash. The light brown spots were made with a mix of Rust and Orange, and the black ones with a 0.2 sharpie.
I hope the tutorial is quite undertandable - my english is far from perfect. feel free to ask about anything
