Skin tones

I wanted to use 3 different skin tones to add some variety to the fellas, as I plan to have all of them helmetless, so I settled on a light, mid, and dark skin tone using an airbrush to do most of the work for me.

Lightest

  1. Basecoat: Cadian Fleshtone
  2. Highlight: 2:1 Cadian Fleshtone & Light Flesh

Mid

  1. Basecoat: Bloodreaver Flesh
  2. Highlight: 2:1 Cadian Fleshtone & Bloodreaver Flesh

Dark

  1. Basecoat: Catachan Fleshtone
  2. Highlight: 2:1 Knight-questor Flesh & Catachan Fleshtone

Final steps for each fleshtone

  1. Wash: 2:1 Lahmian Medium & Druchii Violet
  2. Highlight: rehighlight with original highlight colour
