I have surrounded them with a sophisticated painting task-force of Vallejo dark paint ranges to see if anything works, I have great hopes for Dark Grey (994), Black Grey (862) in combination with Xpress Black Lotus (423) and Black Ink (094), highlighted perhaps with Glossy Black (861). Talk about "fifty shades of grey"!
Meanwhile this is what other people did (very well) on the Internet:

I often highlight black figures in Sci fi/fantasy settings with dark purple. That is a bit warmer than some other options.
Boring historicals just get shades of grey.
I have heard of the "blue trick", dark blue being a better black than black black .. purple .. I will have to experiment .. using a gloss for the crevasses and joints seems to work
