Pale Skin

  1. Basecoat with an equal parts mix of Daemonette Hide , Rakarth Flesh , Kislev Flesh and White .
  2. Thin some Bugman's Glow and glaze in shading in recesses.
  3. Mix your Bugman's Glow 1:1 with Naggaroth Night , then shade more selectively.
  4. Take a blob of your base colour, then mix it 1:1 with White . With this brighter colour, add highlights to the skin.
  5. Highlight selectively with pure White .

Around the ports embedded into the skin, I would recommend giving a controlled wash of thin Naggaroth Night . This is just to darken the recess and make the surrounding skin look sore. It should stand out nicely against future silver highlights.
