Dark Elf dark skin colour(which colours?)

[Starks333]

i dont have a piture with me, but i think i can explain the skin tone im looking for

the hag queen skin colour in the back of the army book...either that or a bluish gray skin but not quite as blue as the example on the same page as the hag queen(back inside cover of the dark elf book)

im curious what colour combos(GW paints only) would get me this result

thanks

elf flesh + shadow grey or maybe even a deeper blue (blue ink- only a little mind you!) then slowly glaze with blue and purple ink glazes.

work light then gradually darken it by succesive glazes. then re highlight with elf flesh + white

I use shadow grey mixed with skull white and highlight up using more white. Then I make a wash of shadow grey to blend all the layers. If you want a lighter shade just start with a 50/50 mix shadow grey and white and highlight from there.

Shadow Gray, Scaly Green and a tad bit of scorched brown. Add bleached bone for successive highlights. Shade with the basecoat with a little more scorched brown. Once done with the highlighting and shading, give the flesh a light glaze (in order) of brown ink, blue ink and purple ink.

Catch that? lol
