For my Space Wolves I use a standard base of Shadow grey with highlights of Space Wolf Grey, the difference I have is that I use Charadon Granite to shade with. Makes them look slightly darker and gives more contrast over the armour. Here's a link to one I prepared earlier.

very nice mac, just wondering do u go up past space wolf grey for the highlight?

Thanks DM. Nope, pure Space Wolf Grey for the top highlight. I find it bright enough that I don't feel the need to go any lighter; especially with the Charadon shading.
