Routasydän Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Id say eshin grey for base but cant say for sure bout the highlight, it kinda looks a bit offwhite, specially on the face. Could be something like stormvermin fur or even karak stone or something similar mixed with grey. Hope that helps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s official GW you might try to email them I’ve heard they reply to that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendar Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 @Kramer I think I'm going to attempt the same thing for the skin on my Bonesplitterz. Have you made any attempts yet? Mixed black\grey basecoat with some grey drybrush on top you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drofnum Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You want to have some brown in the mix to make it look like living flesh rather than dead flesh. I did a similar scheme on my Thralls and found a couple youtube videos that went over how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsqiCsQg32g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3ECUteXuF4&t=2s My results with those methods(Ignore that spot on her shoulder its cleaned up now ): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recipe I used was: Mechanicus grey -> Blue shade -> warpfiend grey dry brush @Routasydän & @Ragnar Alpaca Sorry for the lack of reply.

elfhead Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You could try mixing a skintone with black. If you look at the model the horns are a lot ‘blacker’ than the skin. It needs some more warm tones I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while trying I discovered that it became a little boring to make it that dark. I'm happy with the bluish tone I ended up with. The Gors will be a very dark brown skin tone and you are right that some brown will bring some warmer tones in there. But for me the blueish works with the sneaky Ungors and the more brown Gors with the more animalistic vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendar Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I tend to solely wash\glaze\drybrush paint and rarely use "standard" methods so I'll have to try a few different schemes. I'll probably just pick up a few test models from the local GW and try some things. Most likely will start with a white base, heavy nuln oil, black\dark grey drybrush and a lighter grey drybrush on top of that and see what we get. I'll post them here for some input.

syph0n Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Could use Agrax rather than Nuln on that too. Save the Nuln for the darkest recesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drofnum Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Agrax would be better to shade with, everything I've seen says to use some brown to suggest life. Nuln oil would just be more shades of gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
