Dark skin tones

[Deleted]

Hey guys, just looking for some advice about different skin tones.

I was looking over my army and noticed that it's extremely...how do I put this....White. I want to add some racial diversity.

So before I start experimenting I was hoping someone here might have already tried a few techniques to add some soul to their army that I could try.

Well the main reason is that black skin is pretty difficult to paint. It's hard to get much shading or highlights on the skin and the face. Also, nearly all the IG minis are based on white caucasians, so even if the painting is good, there's always something that looks slightly strange looking with the finished product.

Oh well, so much for adding some buffallo soldiers

Thanks anyway

Oh no no no, my friends (thank you RedsandRoyals, for pointing this out to me)

Painting dark skin is VERY easy!

Get the Dark Flesh paint, use that, and wash with Gryphonne Sepia or Devlan Mud, and then highlight. Done!
