I settled on a mix of classic and modern style skin recipes for these sculpts. The plan is to have a few that are unique to the goblins, and some that show their relation to their Orc bretheren. I think they turned out well.

Classic Orc Skin

Classic Goblin Skin

  1. Basecoat with 1:1 Death Guard Green and Ogryn Camo .
  2. Shade with thin Castellan Green .
  3. Shade more carefully with Vulkan Green .
  4. If very deep or more hidden areas, shade selectively with 1:1 Vulkan Green and Rhinox Hide .
  5. Highlight with Ogryn Camo .
  6. Selectively highlight with Krieg Khaki .
  7. Mix some White into your Krieg Khaki and apply very small/specular highlights.

Modern Orc Skin

  2. Shade with thin Castellan Green .

  5. Highlight with Ogryn Camo .
  6. Selectively highlight with Krieg Khaki .
  7. Mix some White into your Krieg Khaki and apply very small/specular highlights.
