After basecoating my inquis and retinue in terracota I can't find a colour that I think looks good to highlight and wash it with? Any suggestions anyone?

1. Wash it with diluted Scorched Brown
2. Bring thecolor back to surface highlighting with Terracotta.
3. Depending on what overall color you want to end up with you can mix some Yellow into Terracotta and eventually Bleach Bone. Or stay Brown and mix in Bestial Brown, Snakebite Leather, then Bleach Bone. Try some test models till you find what you like

Good Luck!

i usually only use terracota on bricks and stuff, so my wash is a dirty mix of vellejo smoke with p3 armor wash and flesh wash...

a nice quick highlight colour that i've used is khardic flesh...it's like dwarf flesh from gw...
