So recently I bought some Orks second hand and I want to replicate the same paint job throughout my army that was on some of the Orks already. So my question is: what colour, or similar Citadel colour, was used on this Nob:

Ummm...

Green.

Dark green.



In seriousness, I dunno. The skin in the photos is very dark to make out much tint. (Try taking photos against a much darker backdrop, even black, to make the skin stand out more) Could be caliban green with some liberal dark washes, could be any one of other paint ranges. I could say that some of the highlights in the second photo look like some kind of dull pale green, like nurgling or straken, but again it's difficult to tell.

I did think it had quite a lot of dark wash applied tbh, it's quite easy to see it just because of how dark the recesses in the model are. In general though, is Caliban a good colour to use for Ork skin because if it is then that would make sense.

I *think* that's the old appropriately named old Orkhide, under lots of things that are not that.
It can be a very dusky colour, and if you mixed it badly it also went quite violently yellow.

Looks like Waaaagh Flesh with some black shade nulun oil?
