I've got a few IG vehicles,and I'm thinking of tossing some wash on them. What washes do you all think would work well with green (almost a dark angel green, but not quite that dark) vehicles? I've also got a few Valkyries that are a light grey I am thinking of putting some wash to, to bring out the details.

Badab Black is your best bet for any grey. Just use it in the recesses though; it'll make some really nasty pooling if you wash over flat areas.

I've heard of some military modelers doing "reverse highlights" to pick out plates - wash the whole thing in the appropriate color, then use a sponge or paper towel to wick (wick, not wipe) away the pools on the flats. Gives a nice gradient without having to resort to an airbrush and can help circumvent the issue SRM mentioned.

I'd go with Badab Black for the grays, for sure, but your green is a bit trickier. I want to say Thrakka Green, but your base color is so dark, I don't know how much good it would do. Perhaps paint up a little scrap with corners to test it on. Layering washes can make the effect really intense, so a few coats of Thrakka may be just what you need.
