Hi Harry, keep up the good work.
Sorry if this has been asked hundreds of times before (in my defense, I just had a skim through your Warseer thread in case!), what colours do you use for the skin?

It is simplicity itself. I paint it (at least twice sometimes three times) with THIN Elf flesh. Then a VERY watery wash with dwarf flesh and the job is a good 'un. You can stop there if you like.I have done various rank and file like this and they look fine. However for characters I normally do another shade with some watery dark flesh mixed in with the watery dwarf flesh just to pick out the darkest recesses or especially cut muscles. and finally a usually do another highlight with a bit of white mixed in to the elf flesh

Thanks Harry!
I think I've been relying on washes too much for skin, they usually change the colour of the paint below too much. I'll try watered-down like you mention. I just remembered I have two pots of elf flesh I thought were no good that should be fine with some water and mixing.
