For clothing and other soft surfaces, you can use dark grey (like a charcoal grey) highlighted with a lighter shade and then given a black wash.

If you are painting a hard surface such as armour plating you need to master edge highlights.

Then edge highlight using a mid grey with a finer highlight of a very light grey
