Skin

  1. Basecoat with an equal parts mix of Daemonette Hide , Rakarth Flesh , Kislev Flesh and White .
  2. Soft shade recesses with Bugman's Glow .
  3. Enhance recesses with Dryad Bark where needed.
  4. Mix your base colour 2:1 with White , then add some highlights to the skin.
  5. Increase the amount of White to 2:1, then highlight more selectively.
  6. Finish with a few specular highlights of pure White in areas that need it. I would recommend concentrating these highlights around the face, finger tips and areas that really need it.
