Then I clean the face up with Tallarn Flesh again and add more and more Cadmium Skin to the Tallarn Flesh to brighten up the high spots. The last highlight is done with a dab of Bleached Bone on the cheeks and nose.

For screens I use a basecoat with Dark Angels Green and freehand the HUD with Scorpion green and Livery Green.

Just tallarn flesh followed by a wash? Not that great ^^

Personally I basecoat tallarn, wash with ogryn flesh, go back to tallarn flesh, highlight with a 50/50 tallarn/dwarf flesh and from then it all depends on the specifics of how I want that trooper to look

Am I a good painter? Not particularly... is it a complicated technique? Again, not particularly

Tallarn flesh followed by ogryn wash
Eyes in bleached bone/white mix
Dot with dark brown (scorched brown works - don't use pure black!)
Tidy up and first highlight with tallarn flesh
Then tallarn/elf flesh
then elf flesh

I do screens with DA green, snot green caustic, goblin green fine caustic, white pure highlight.
