Hi All,
I'm in love with the Helbrute models, and want them all to look distinct. I have one that I painted up flesh coloured (Bugman's Glow + Reikland Fleshshade + Cadian Flesh) and another beautifully pink (Screamer Pink + Carroberg Crimson + Pink Horror), and was hoping for my third one to have a nice pallid flesh colour. My issue is that Rakarth Flesh looks about the right tone I want, Pallid Wych Flesh being too light. The effect I'm going for is that of the Lascannon + Missile Launcher Helbrute on the Games Workshop page: https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99120102043_CSMHelbrute05.jpg. How do people think they achieved this effect? I was thinking either Rakarth Flesh + Reikland Fleshshade + Rakarth Flesh, or perhaps Rakarth Flesh + Druchii Violet + Rakarth Flesh. What shade do people recommend? And is there a better base, rather than just doubling up on Rakarth Flesh for base and highlight?

Any help would be appreciated here.

I did my Helbrute with a pallid flesh color scheme. It was the DV set, and he was "Nurglized" so not sure if it is the look your going for.

Black primer, then Rakarth flesh + Agrax wash + cleaned up with Rakarth, and highlighted with Pallid Witch Flesh.

Perfect! Thanks for that!
