I have a question. I have a group of 36 Marauders of Chaos and do you think i could use vary the skin tone one the Marauders, I thought aboute using diffrent types of washes like "gryphonne sepia", "devlan mud" and "badab bllack", do you think it will work? Sorry for spelling and gramar:)

@skalmanpro Hello,

What I would try on a TEST FIGURE, is paint the figure as I have done, wash it with Ogryn flesh, but then wash it with Asurman blue to give it a death look... Let me know if that works for you!

why haven't you moved to droper bottles with a pallet?

great vid, I just finished urien rakarth for the dark eldar hopefully when the wracks come out I can try your technique too.

hey,

nice vid.

i honestley thought this vid helped me out more then the GW file they have on their website did. Hopefully ill get around to painting more skin tonight.

Question though, I dont know wat kind of guys you paint but do u have an suggestioins to painting small faces? specifically the Imperial Guard?

[Catattafish]

@majorpayne327 I use this exact technique on my space marine faces which essentially are the same size as the IG. Just use a smaller brush! Thats all, this technique works for IG perfectly.

Cheers!

Great Vid, always good stuff man, love ya Catattafish.

Nice work mate, good straight forward technique that even a noob like me can have a crack at.

Id say it looks good. But nor sure that such a dark base is the best option. Something closer to the fleshtones would look more natural i think.

Music too loud. If you don't mind turning it down a bit I would appreciate it.

The music is 10x louder than your voice and distorted, it nearly deafened me at the end.
