Grey Skin

  1. Basecoat with 1:1 Rakarth Flesh and Pallid Wych Flesh .
  2. Mix Doombull Brown , Khorne Red and Abaddon Black , mix 1:1 with the basecoat. Use this mix to apply some thin, general shading.
  3. Enhance the shading with a mix of Doombull Brown and Khorne Red .
  4. Add a 1:1 mix of Incubi Darkness and White to your basemix and apply some highlights.
  5. Now mix Blue Horror into your base colour and add fine highlights.

For areas that you really want to accentuate (like eye sockets) it is a good idea to mix some Incubi Darkness into the first shade. This is a good way of adding variety to the shading, when applied as glazes.

  2. Mix the basecoat 1:1 with Ionrach Skin , then apply highlights to the skin.
  3. Now mix some of your basecoat 1:1 with Doombull Brown , then shade recesses with it. keep your paint thin and glaze wherever you can.
  4. For very deep recesses, shade with small amount of 1:1 Doombull Brown and Death Korps Drab .
  5. Apply fine highlights with Ionrach Skin .
  6. Selectively highlight with Deepkin Flesh .
  7. If you have any features you really want to accentuate, mix some White into your Deepkin Flesh and apply very small/specular highlights.

Pale Green Skin

  1. Basecoat with Nurgling Green .
  2. Screamer Pink and Incubi Darkness , then 1 part Death Guard Green use for shading.
