You can see that somewhere between painting the first two and the lord I stopped painting yellow into the highlights (including the metallics) to represent torchlight and match some of the artwork I love from this period. In addition to the torchlight effect it gives the figure a feeling of being aged, and I like both these things. So, not sure why I stopped and it's likely there will be more yellow highlights in the future.
