Agreed on the wash. I like QuickShade Inks (eye droppers) washes. The brown Strong Tone is the most versatile, but black Dark Tone is useful sometimes.
With Bones, I find applying a wash of Pledge Future Floor Wax (Amazon and Walmart) mixed with some runny AppleBarrel black craft paint REALLY helps find the details and mold lines.
Here's a pretty good tutorial for washes:

Some D&D Adventure mini's I primed white then washed black, then colored.
