Hey all I would like to paint my bloodthisters horns black but when I do they just well look black, how do I make them look like horns and not just like something that was painted black lol?

highlight them maybe
add codex grey to the black and work your way up to bleached bone hope this helps
it might work
sorry I have never painted black horns

I would paint it grey then glaze half a dozen times. I'm lazy and I like glazing.

If you wanted them to look Obsidian what you could do is matte varnish the entire thing, and then use the brush on shiny varnish for just the black horns giving them the shine while still black.

Take a look at the Daemon prince in my gallery for an example.
