So, all the Marines aside from the Salamander were basecoated with wet-brushed Mechanicus Standard Grey, so that's your starting point.
The Black Templar was covered in 3 coats of Black Templar Contrast, to ensure that the color was even. The armor was dry-brushed with Mechanicus Standard, panel-washed with Nuln Oil, and the chipping was stippled Eshin Grey and Administratum Grey. The Imperial Aquila and pipes on the helmet were done with Leadbelcher, a wash of Nuln Oil, and dry-brushed Necron Compound. The right pauldron and knee were done in Corax White, the squad marking done with Corvus Black. The rim of the left pauldron was done with Flesh Tearers Red Contrast.
The Space Wolf was similar. After the base coat, wetbrushed Russ Grey, then drybrushed Fenrisian Grey, followed by chipping and highlighting with Administratum Grey. The panel washing was done with Agrax Earthshade. Right Pauldron and Right Knee were done in Mephiston Red base, Corvus Black for the markings. Bolter: Leadbelcher Base. Housing was done with Black Templar. Baseplate for the magazine was done in Mechanicus Standard with a Nuln Oil Wash. Barrel scorching is done with drybrushed Corvus Black. Axe: Leadbelcher base. The crystal effect was done with drawing jagged patterns on the blade with Temple Guard Blue, then covered in 2 coats of Aethermatic Blue Contrast. The Aquila and belt buckle were done with Retributor Armor, Seraphim Sepia Wash, Sigmarite drybrush, chipping done with Rhinox Hide. Left Pauldron; Averland Sunset, Agrax Earthshade panel wash, Rhinox Hide chipping. Helmet: Studs picked out with Leadbelcher, washed with Agrax Earthshade. Eye lenses and sensors were picked out with Stormhost Silver, then given a very careful coat of Blood For The Blood God. Finally, the belt and mag pouches: Base Rhinox Hide, Agrax Earthshade wash, Gothor Brown drybrushing
