I've started painting my first Thousand Sons Helbrute and I'm stumped on how to paint the flesh. I'm aiming to recreate the Thousand Sons Helbrute on Games Workshop's page, which to me appears to be some type of white layer with Druchii Violet shade on top... but my results sofar aren't quite right.

Advice?

I wrote a guide on how to get any skin colour once. I won't write it all here but to get what you need you would need to do this. Start with a Caucasian skin tone or mix one by starting with 3 primary colours and then just adding white untill you get it. Then just add purple. If the resulting skin colour is too dark add more white.

I think it looks good, but you could go with a further highlight of rakarth flesh.
