Following a few comments on Dakka about the marines looking flat (correct, they do) I've taken the raptors a bit further, gloss varnish then a black/brown oil wash, then when dry a light rub down.
Has added some depth, need to let this fully cure for a few days then varnish again to seal it and then some brushed highlights on the gold to make it pop.
So easy to apply, just lather it on, once dry it rubs off leaving just in the recessed areas.
Helmet of the dead pink marine had the same treatment, as has the white areas - only the plasma green was left unwashed.
Seems to have worked, easy to do as well.
