@mage I sat and thought a bit and The Decepticon Chaos looks good to start. As a color scheme it works well by contrast. The metallics definitely need weathering so not to overpower the chromatic pigments. That should be easy as they’re nasty yucky oozy Nurgle troops. If you stippled a little ochre/burnt umber around the yellow and hit it with a brown wash the age/wear on the yellow areas would definitely pop.

Aside from using marketed pigment powder (or just buying some dry pastels, scraping some off and then applying with rubbing alcohol) the metals could also get a little bit of the same wash treatment or with a drybrush that you stab gently getting only the ends of the bristles.
