Tried painting a few and not too happy with the results. Wondering if anyone knows of any video/picture&text/text tutorials?


thank you

Black as in drow/salamanders, or black as in black guys?

I have used this tutorial to do my terminator sergeant, Apone, and I was really happy with it. They have black-black too but I haven't tried that one.

I paint my salamanders normally because I didn't know salamanders were grey with red eyes.

LOL I do have one black scout though

I have this one, it is informative but not so much directing

I was going for a darker, tougher skin look on my Marauders. It's Tallarn Flesh, Devlan Mud, then Tallarn Flesh again in the raised areas:

I got tired of painting just one skin tone for my imperial guard. My main force is Tallarn and I made up most of the other models using Catachans, and I paint many of them with African American looking skin tones.
I spray everything with a Krylon Khaki base coat anyway for the camoflage, then I paint the skin with a chocalate looking brown (sorry I can't remember exactly what I used) my brown paint was a little bit thin and it had a wash effect settling into low areas and letting the khaki highlights show through. I dry brush a few highlights again with Tamiya Desert Yellow and it looks pretty good.
Try using browns and different tan drybrushes until you find something you like... Plan to do this on my next Ogryns too

If you're doing black Ogryns, I think it's frankly required for any Bone'eads to have sideburns and afros, as Samuel L in Pulp Fiction. Shades optional.

"Which ripper gun is yours?"
"The one that says, "Bad M..." on it."

I paint scorched brown over all the skin parts
then i add a wash of dark flesh

You should blatantly model him in just his boxers and a vest then...

I was more inspired by Carl Weathers aka Action Jackson. That's just how I picture my Catachans
..And Ahnald too of course, I try to have a mix
