I'm painting my ork army as Goff. And I need to paint a ton of them. What'd be the fastest way to go about the skin? I was thinking using foundation, then a wash, then drybrush. What colors would you recommend me? (minimal or no mixing colors please).

Also, I need kind of the same advice for Salamanders, but I can take my time with those.

I primed black, did a first coat of Orkhide Shade (Foundation) and then Gnarloc Green (Foundation). This was washed with black and then highlighted with Camo Green

if you have a steady hand then there is a very simple way to do it.

1: paint DA green over skin.
2: drybrush lightly with scorp. green.
3: do a very light drybrush with scorp green.

just a tiny layer effect pattern, works well and quick to do.
if done right thanks to the dark base coat it looks great, and its not too bright either.
