Thanks for the kind words. The starter kit didn't come with grey so I just mixed it myself roughly so that there were different hues and used that for the highlights in the various areas after I had applied the dark grey base coat. Then I used the ink wash and finished with a coat of anti shine.
I've never played any miniature games but am really into board games so I'm going to buy Puppet Wars Unstitched and paint them up. A great hobby to sit and relax in the evening after work.
