But i recon the armour could have been highlighted more, mix the highlighting(fortress grey?) colour with some white and highlight the corner edges of the armour....But superb work

You guessed correctly. Black primer, codex grey base, inked with thinned black ink, then highlighted with codex through to fortress grey. I initially experimented with the white extreme highlights, but ultimately decided against it because it would be too bright. I wanted the armor to look aged and ancient, like relics, and more "grim and gritty". The white seemed to stand out too much, even sparsely used.

Thanks for the coments and keep 'em coming!
