undead skin

[robsoma]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any good formula for painting undead skin tones? Mostly using new gw paints along with p3. Cheers

I be an amateur, but I use brush on white primer, base with Reaper Troll Skin (darkest green), next coat is Reaper Gnoll Skin; then dry brush with gw Rotting Flesh....

I use a mix of (former GW paint range, Vallejo has equivalents): Rotting Flesh, Elf Flesh, Codex Grey. Yes, 3 colours, which makes it easy to adust the end result just slightly for a varied, yet unified look. Optional extra colours to throw in the mix include Goblin Green (more putrescence), Bestial Brown (more 'dried skin' look, great for mummies) Bloody Red (more, well, bloody), Skull White (paler).

Note: I like mixing colours and experimenting. If you don't, the current GW range is designed to guide you through painting, stage by stage, with a series of colours, for pretty much anything.
