OK, so I know there's comparison/equivalent/conversion charts out there, and I have consulted them, but I'm not really trusting them for what I'm currently looking for.

What I'm looking for is the following Reaper (Master Series I think) paints in GW's Citadel range, because that's what I'm used to using, and if possible I can use what I've already got rather than buying any new paints...

bone shadow 09058
aged bone 09059
leather white 09062
tanned leather 09031
mahogany brown 09030
earth brown 09029
muddy brown 09028
mahogany brown 09070

According to paint charts that I've consulted, Citadel Ratskin Flesh is a match to Reapers Tanned Leather 9031 and Cadian Fleshtone is a match for Reapers Leather Brown 9030!?! Really?!

Anyone here have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Try paint rack app. Its my go to as it has pretty much every range of paint you could ever want/use.

Are you only wanting Citadel? Some other lines may have closer matches.

Bone shadow is Ionrach skin
Aged bone is wratihbone (primer spray)
Valhallan Blizzard Texture is closes color otherwise its Typhone ash air paint.
Tanned leather is a bronze, but assuming you want a non metallic the next closest is Golgfag Brown.
Mahogny brown is stirland mud texture, again, no mordant earth texture, again, may want to look at another line like vallejo.
Earth brown is agrellan badland texture, if you want non texture base then is XV-88 base paint.
Muddy brown is catachan fleshtone. but Vallejo model air is dark earth and is closer.
Mahogony brown is stirland mud texture, but again vallejo is better match with VGC Smokey ink


Honestly, its hard to get exact or even close matches to GW paints. This is by design as they want you to buy only their paints to follow their box art schemes. Your best bet is going to be vallejo as the range is most extensive.
