So I am painting my Chaos Obliterators and am wondering if his "flesh" could be done in a metallic tone? Afterall, it is "Fleshmetal" and it just seems suiting for them to be having a metallic tone skin. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this without making him look like some ornate carving on power armor? I was thinking thinned-out metallic color as washes or something.

What about painting the skin silver then giving it a flesh wash?

You could use a metallic medium mixed with flesh tone and see how it comes out.

My first thought too.
@ OP
Vallejo do a metallic medium specifically to mix your own metallics from any paint colour. It should work.
I would probably try it by mixing a metallic version as a base/shade layer, and then highlight with thin non-metallic flesh tones, to try and give the half and half look.
Never tried it, but that's how I'd try.

Maybe one of the glazes over a silver base?
Or regular flesh tones with silver veins?
