In the Flesh

 My trusty bottle of Delta Ceramcoat "Medium Flesh" is nearing the bottom, and it seems like they (delta CC)  aren't making any fleshtone colors now (I have a limited amount of their Dark Flesh as well). While I was at The Portal gaming store/space for the October Snappy Nappy event, I picked up several bottles of (absurdly expensive!) Citadel pints in a variety of flesh tones, both to support the store and to try out on some test figures. The opportunity arose when I discovered I needed a few more commander/hero types for my Canaanite forces. I remembered there were some unpainted figures amongst the lot that Ken Baggaley had gifted me a number of years back. Prior to Historicon, they were primed and based, with the painting to take place during odd moments of the convention. 

The colors used on the individual figures were (by tunic color):

Green - Ungor Flesh, with a decidedly yellow tone to it

Lt Yellow, Blue  Cadian Fleshtone  a tanned flesh tone.

White - Kislev Flesh a pale flesh tone, suitable for Northern Europeans who don't spend much time in the sun. 

Red - Bestigor Flesh, with a decidedly orange cast to it. 

 

These older figures really benefit from black lining, which I did after I got back home. 

This shot gives a good comparison of the various hues. 

as does this one. 

I have a large group of ancient Indians to paint up. Assuming that skin tomes for them might be similar to today's inhabitants, none of these really seem right - perhaps adding some neutral tan/brown to the yellowish Ungor flesh might work? 

Regardless, these fellows were ready for the game!
