I just recently purchased a Skaven Hellpit Abomination. I have yet to actually tackle painting any of my 3000 of Skaven, but my Hellpit was going to be the first thing and now I have two. I would like to paint my Hellpit the same way this one is painted (or at least, similarly) but I am having trouble identifying exactly what paints were used and how they were used. The following are some screenshots

Mainly I'm curious how the skin was done, and I'm guessing something like Ushabti Bone for the bone, and Chainmail for the metal, and Bronze for the other metal parts. Any input would be appreciated!

That skin is probably Cadian Fleshtone from the picture, but could be Ratskin Flesh since it's one solid colour. The bones were probably Ushabti, and since Chainmail is no longer produced (lucky me, I still have an old pot!), that's probably been done with GW's Boltgun replacement Leadbelcher and maybe a wash of their Badab Black replacement, Nuln Oil.
