Quick recipe (my simplified version) for 'How to paint faces on a miniature. Light skin tones' by Games Workshop Miniatures Designer and former 'Eavy Metal figure painter Darren Latham.
- Chaos Black
- 2-4 layers of thin Bugman's Glow
- 50/50 Bugman's Glow & Cadian Fleshtone over all but the most recessed areas.
- Watered down Tuskgor Fur into recessed areas.
- Watered down Doombull Brown into recessed areas.
- Cadian Fleshtone highlight all rased areas.
- 50/50 Cadian Fleshtone & Kislev Flesh
- Kislev Flesh on highest details, nose, ears and eyebrows
- Pallid Wych Flesh eyes
- Pupil, anything dark, I mixed Abaddon Black into the remaining Pallid Wych Flesh for a very dark grey.
- Watered down Tuskgor Fur around the whites of the eyes to clean them up, 2-3 washes may be needed.
- Entire head given a single wash of Reikland Fleshshade
- clean up around joins
- Nuln Oil in mouth is open, and all around joins to black areas.
