So, I'm painting this servitor and I had seen pix of them with their coma patient like skin, so I wanted something that suggested half life half death for the dude's head, but I didn't have any paints like that, so I bit the bullet and mixed a few. My paints of choice were: SW Grey (cause I wanted something like that, except more muted) Elf Flesh (Cause the dude was human at one time right?) and fortress grey (to balance out the garish color the former two were sure to create) and what did I get? A perfect replica of Kommando Khaki!

I kid you not, 1 parts SW Grey, 1 parts Elf flesh, and 1 parts fortress grey equals a perfect copy of Kommando Khaki! Which I already have... :?

dependant on how gray you want the skin, 1 part elf flesh to 1 part codex grey should do the trick

Aiight cool, thanks, I'll try that. I just thought it was funny that the mix I happened to pull out of the air equaled a color I already had! :lol:

I quite often end up mixing something that is very close to GW colour usally greens when Im at Nurgle stuff :?

Try adding a bit of purple to your grey skin tones an then bringing it up y adding more grey or a touch of with for the highlight. This gives a pretty good Borg skin colour.

a very small amount of purple will also be ok. alternatively paint the model and give it 3 or 4 very watered down purple or blue ink glazes.
