So I've played Mercenaries in Warmachine for a long time now, almost since they were their own standalone army. But in all that time, I've never run a proper Rhulic army, in any of the contracts. It took me many years to even buy the Forgeguard, even though they are a staple in many Merc lists. I've decided to remedy that and run a full on Searforge list in all it's limited glory! While the results have been mixed (currently 1-2) I'm certainly having fun painting them up. I'm a tabletop quality painter, so I won't be winning any awards. I do know I have to practice faces and skin tones in general as they leave much to be desired. Well here's the army so far:

I'd say decent tabletop mate! I reakon we're probably at the same level of painting so I don't have much advise however one tip I read somewhere about skin tones is to add a little purple to the mix... it sounds a bit weird but does work. It makes it look a little more natural!
Thanks for the tip! I've added a few more layers to the flesh and think it helped on the Officer of the Highshield UA, but still kinda flat on the standard bearer. Fortunately the TAC wear masks!

I wanted the skintone to stand out a bit. The armor is tan, leather and bags are brown so I figured grey would stick out a bit more. And still match as I use grey as an accent color on the rest of the Searforge.
Finished up my two Blasters today. Cheated a bit on these as I had bought them second hand so this was really a repaint, but they match my army now! I still need to get a least two Gunners to round out my gunbunnies, but I think the Earthbreaker is next on my buy list.
