Ok having acquired some if the new spiders from gw. I'm gonna try paint them. First one is going to be like a black widow. So it will be shiny and have the main body being black. How can I give the black depth and add details without making it not look black.?

So it will be shiny and ..... black. Answered your own question Flat Black with gloss varnish - let natural light highlight it for you. Works much better and more natural than trying to highlight with paint. |

What Squinty said, but before you varnish it, wash it with purple or blue. It just adds a little more depth to the model.

Ok done this. Added purple over a light grey drybrush to great effect. How can I contrast I shiny black carapace with the jointy bits between legs etc? Should I go total contrast with White/ bone including doing this on the horn things??

Well if it's a Black Widow look you want, I'd be tempted to just do the whole model black.
