Skin

  1. Basecoat with 2:1 Cadian Fleshtone and Administratum Grey .
  2. Shade with some Reikland Fleshshade . I applied this with some precise recess shading and glazes. To make it easier, I would recommend thinning with some Lahmian Medium .
  3. Shade deep recesses with Khorne Red , with a little Gal Vorbak Red mixed in.
  4. Gradually mix White into the basecolour, then pick out raised details. Each time you mix in more White , highlight more selectively, until you are defining details like the point of the nose and knuckles with almost pure White .

With the skin finished,
