I'm just really getting back into painting after not doing so for the better part of a decade, and I've decided to start with finishing up a guard squad (Valhallan) that i begana long time ago.
Unfortunately, i've just discovered that the paints i was using for their skin has gone the way of the dodo.
can anyone suggest another paint (from a different company, perhaps) that's as close as can be to bronzed flesh?
and is the new ogryn flesh wash close to the old flesh wash ink?

I myself miss the Brown Ink, which is great for metals and the like. I ended up going with Vallejo, as they are pretty spot on with the tones. For Bronzed Flesh, try their 'Dark Flesh'. As far as a Flesh Wash, the new washes give a much different effect overall than the inks ever did. Sadly, I don't believe even Vallejo has an equivalent of that color ink.

Thanks for the heads up on the vallejo.
I've been meaning to try out some of their range for a while, now, and this is just the impetus I need.

I use a tube of liquitex burnt ceinna and mix it with white to get varying skin tones (everyones is different), it is good up to about a tanned polenesian in terms of skin tone all the way to unhealthily pasty. Like a gamer!! You could easily mix it to match the old one very closely. Hope that helps
