Armor is undercoated black, coat of Scab Red (has a superior coverage to Red Gore), coat of Red Gore over the Scab Red, highlighted with Blood Red, and then inked with red ink. Armor trim is painted with Boltgun Metal. Skin is painted Shadow Grey, inked with purple ink, heavy highlight of Shadow Grey again, highlight of Space Wolves Grey, and final small highlight of Skull White. Imperial Fist helmet is undercoated black, with a layer of Bronzed Flesh, followed by Sunburst Yellow, inked with Flesh Wash, and finally Sunburst Yellow again. The skull is painted with Scorched Earth, heavy highlight of Elf Flesh, inked with Flesh Wash, Elf Flesh again, highlighted with Bleached Bone, and then a final small highlight of Skull White.

Thanks for saying how you have painted it, as far as comments: I would suggest painting the base, it always looks more realistic that way for some reason. The highlights on the red appear a bit too subtle, maybe a few more stages next time (also i am not personally a fan of inks). Finally I am not sure red for the sword as well was the right choice, some secondry colour may have worked better here
