Seeing as you're working up through lots of golds anyway, what I would probably do is:
Scorched Brown base coat (ie: all over).
Tin Bitz, leaving SB in the deep recesses (metallics are shiny, and thus look odd when they are used as a shade, IMO).
Dwarf Bronze/Tin Bitz [50/50].
Dwarf Bronze.
Shining Gold/Dwarf Bronze [50/50].
Wash Devlan Mud [all over].
Shining Gold/Dwarf Bronze [50/50].
Shining Gold.
Mithril Silver/Shining Gold [50/50].
Mithril Silver.
...obviously with each layer getting smaller and smaller...
Will take a little while, but will look deep and lusterous.
In a good way.

CHeers dude.
Basically I don't want to give anymore money to GW at the moment so I'm going it with out the Dwarf Bronze and the Devlan Mud.
Being that I had already Tinbitz it, this is the way I've done it thus far.
Tinbitz
Scorched Brown wash
Tinbitz/Mithril Silver
Scorched brown wash in recesses only
Shining Gold / Tinbitz
Shining Gold <-- this is where I'm up to
Shining Gold / Mithril
Mithril
Now I have two questions.
1. I have chestnut ink which I normally use on my golds... but i was thinking it would be too much for a model like dante where the gold is making up 90% of the model. Would you recommend it?
2. How do you paint metallics? I've painted lots of GreyKnights in the past and always worried when doing so. Basically if you thin them down you get really patchy colours and otherwise you'd paint straight on it but I fear that it will get to thick and the model will look gluggy. Do you do heaps of thin layers or few thicker coats.
thanks
