Abhorrent Grotesque Aberration

Hello,
I've been painting my DE lately, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the Skin, as of now, I am using Tallarn Flesh mixed with Codex Gray (More gray each highlight.). You can see the pictures of that in my WIP thread.
It doesn't seem "Good" enough for me. It looks unshaded and think almost, even though the paints are watered down.
Does anyone have any good recipes for a pale Grayish-Tan skin, or a severely pale Tan?

I heard one guy who used Dheneb Stone with an Ogryn Flesh wash. Apparently it's a nice grey-tan.

I'll try that on one of my spare Catachan models, then see how that works. Thanks a ton. Would Astronomican Gray or Fortress Gray have the same effect?

The dark eldar launch issue of WD had a really good DE painting guide in the back, the skin tone used there was really good, used it on a friends yarrick model and it looks pretty sweet...
Havent got it to hand (in work) but if you can get it I strongly suggest you look at it.

Utilizing Careful Highlighting

Start from pure Khemri Brown and continue mixing it with Rotting Flesh until you reach pure RF.

Sweet Jesus, Nurgle and Slaanesh in the same box!?
No, just Nurgle and Slaanesh, Jesus will be sold seperately in a blister.

I cannot imagine it would have the same effect at all.
Dheneb Stone is not a grey stone-colour, but rather a light tan one.

I apologize...the name stone, and looking at it from a distance in stores, made me think its gray...
Anyways, thanks for the painting ideas, I think i'll try each on a spare model, and then see what results afterward.
