For simple rank and files I just go goblin green/wash/escorpena/nurgling without the mixing in between.<br /><br />http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv221/Macrocalculator/orc-skin-tone_zpssnghwiy3.pngMerijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716366155171452512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-81671696047316664342016-04-19T01:21:06.939-07:002016-04-19T01:21:06.939-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Merijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716366155171452512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-67159000041670156832016-04-18T13:35:10.197-07:002016-04-18T13:35:10.197-07:00I said it, I do it

Wouldn't work well with High Elves and the like mind! The trick is getting the matte medium/ink mix right although sometimes you do need to give it a second coat to get a richer colour or wipe the ink off the raised areas to keep the highlights.Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-5684786707209402392016-04-18T03:56:21.471-07:002016-04-18T03:56:21.471-07:00There were so many model shops around then, weren&...There were so many model shops around then, weren't there? Mostly for Railways but you had a few classic kits and bits stores that had walls of airfix and tamiya, mostly WW2 and ACW. Though the internet has created a boom in both wargaming and railway modelling (not to mention historical modelling) I do so miss the classic shops of yesteryear.

We are certainly much luckier now in regards to actual paint technology. My go to yellow now is the Foundry triad, as you can see in the photograph above. You mention Humbrol Leif, and I have fond memories of their matt enamels ruining my WW2 and Citadel models to this day. Imagine letting kids loose with paints like that today!!?

I was using Goblin Green for years on all my goblinoids but as I said it was difficult to create the exact look I was after. <br /><br />Scorpion Green was a close match for Bilious though, if I recall correctly. I might have to try the same recipe with a bit of that and compare results.

My strength is in quick layering though, as I have tried experimenting with colour staining but always fail miserably. I think I just rush!

I don't think the quality of the paint job was anything near your results now, but the tone was very similar. The key I think was the yellow which didn't cover very well and therefore allowed the green to shine through. Can't remember if it was a Humbrol or GW paint even.<br />Laffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125733864107467243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-57376301390812810312016-04-18T02:11:38.020-07:002016-04-18T02:11:38.020-07:00Me I'm super simple...Black undercoat, a layer...Me I'm super simple...Black undercoat, a layer of goblin green, a layer of scorpion green and then bad moon yellow highlights gets the job done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879413617587155317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-57235158611569255802016-04-17T15:47:50.333-07:002016-04-17T15:47:50.333-07:00Hi there, if you want a truly radioactive Goblin s...Hi there, if you want a truly radioactive Goblin skin start with Vallejo German Yellow and then put the Games Workshop green wash over it. It gives a really great green yellow to green gradient. Mostly you don't need to do any highlighting, but you can highlight knuckles etc with the German Yellow. It's so good and easy that the one thing that is painted on all my RT Orks is their flesh. :-)R Singershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688410341414457249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-58976985069131456652016-04-17T12:58:59.180-07:002016-04-17T12:58:59.180-07:00Great result mate - here's my old method.
