a few quick tips of my own:

Always start with a Black Undercoat, no Black Undercoat = No Shading

Build up the colour from the Undercoat, use at least 2 shades of each colour

Learn to dry-brush, dry-brushing is one of the most useful and effective techniques for highlighting, no matter what some so-called 'pro-painters' will tell you (in fact I've found that most people who dismiss dry brushing as bad technique can't/don't do it properly)

Citadel's 'Delvian Mud Wash' can be very useful for extra shading but don't over use it

Although most people will use Citadel paints they can be quite expensive - Coat d'Arms and Privateer Press's P3 are less costly alternatives and just as good
