You might try drybrushing them - I used a similar color scheme on some World Eaters a while back. Primed them black, then covered them in scab red, followed by a red gore drybrush layer. You end up with a decent layer/shadow effect on the armor, and can go back over it for the detail work pretty easily.
That's good advice. I'm having problems making the marines look like they're not from a children's cartoon right now, i.e. detailing. Also thinking of buying an airbrush for the primary layer of red - I always thought airbrushing gave power armor / vehicles a much "cleaner" look. Any experience with that?
I've never used one. I may have to before much longer. They seem to do wonders for vehicle plating, and I've never been able to get that to come out quite right.
