Superb!! They mix in well with the metals you have. I see the metals have a more reddish skin colour, so you used a base colour other than rhinox hide for those I'm thinking?

I have plans for a Zulu army around four hundred strong over the next few years. Been looking for an effective but simple skin recipe, I'll be pinching yours!

Many thanks for sharing.

Thanks all :)

Indeed...  :)


Interestingly you'll notice that the skin tone is slightly different on these - I painted them years ago. Same two-colour technique, but two slightly different colours:

The old Citadel 'Scorched Brown' was replaced by 'Rhinox Hide' - I actually preferred the original - a slightly warmer shade of dark brown.

And I used VMC 'Sunny Flesh' at the time, a slightly yellower hue of caucasian skin tone than VMC 'Dark Flesh' which I shifted to a couple of years ago...
