Thanks for posting the pic, great to have a direct comparison.
Sorry to be a colour pedant (like why should today be any different?
) but I think it\'s important for us to realise that oriental skintones aren\'t yellowish - they\'re yellower, but that\'s not quite the same thing - thinking \'yellow\', even if just subconsciously, is what so often gets us in trouble mixing this kind of colour, making it so common for people to overshoot the mark.So anyway, here are a couple of pics to illustrate what I\'m talking about. The first one shows the colour at each indicated point and in larger samples like this it\'s easier to see we\'re not actually looking at yellows.
This pic shows the basic hue for each of these colour samples, so it\'s plain what we\'re truly looking at:
Deceptive, isn\'t it?

REPORT!
Ok, here is my report! I hope I won\'t say anything stupid (I\'ve only been painting very seriously for a few months)
The coat d\'arms flesh wash is totally different from GW\'s.
The colour: I\'d say you can approximate it with snakebite and a touch of vermin.
It\'s very fluid (water like), I added my mixture of distilled water/flow aid/retarder up to a volume of 10:1 and I did not see any particles!
Using on the faces of dwarves that I had already painted with
the traditional dwarf flesh, elf flesh etc, it looks great (10:1 solution) in that it\'s reducing the pinky-baby look of the GW paints.
I tried it on a blondish beard and it added a touch of light brown that did not clash at all.
A great wash, it can have man y uses, I\'m going to buy several pots of it!
Now your comments - DaN and co!
