I bought a second hand 2k army, and unable to contact owner.

I have spent ages trying a combo of various paints to try and replicate the skin (purely because theres around 160 models already painted), namely the GW paints Kislev Flesh, Pallid Wych Flesh, Cadian Fleshtone, and Flayed One Flesh, using both Reikland Fleshshade and Seraphim Sepia Washes, but to no avail.

Using the pics in the imgur galley above, do you have any idea at all what paint or shade may have been used? I'm losing the will to live here -.-

Why does it matter? People have different skin tones, same skin tones under different lighting that look different; it’s not like you’re trying to match a chapter armor color.

It looks like kislev flesh to me, but you say you've already tried that. Really though, you're on a hiding to nothing asking on a forum, because everyone's displays are going to give slightly different variations on the colour, and that's even assuming the camera you've taken the photo with will produce a true match to the colour it's photographing. I'd have thought it would be a better bet to take the model down to your LHS and see if they can help colour match.

And yeah, everyone's skin tone is different, why do they all have to be the same?

It could be an OOP paint like Bronzed Flesh.

Because theres 160 models with what seems to be two different skin tones/shades, and need to add 11 models to the army which will look wayyyy too out of place if those 11 are different from the 160 other models hehe

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I am 99% sure those two shades are Bronzed Flesh and Elf Flesh. Having used them the most in my, admittedly limited, experience painting I feel able to recognize them with fair certainty. They could be third party paints instead though. I'm including a couple pics of my old pots that I still have for reference.

I was going to say elf flesh too
