I am about to start painting my Helbrute and I am having a hard time coming up with the proper flesh tone on the arms and legs. Could someone provide me with some good advice for this problem?
The difficult I do immediately, the impossible takes me a few minutes longer.
What colors are the flesh tones for the rest of your army? Do that. Maybe use a blue or purple wash to make it look corrupted. Or if you are going nurgle, a green wash.
I just drybushed lots of different colours until it looked chaosy... lol. I then added both flesh and blue washes. My army is Slaanesh so I was going for a purple-bone-blue sort of look.

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.
