How to Paint Black Skin on your army painted Space Marines and other tabletop miniatures

In this video we take a look at one way you can paint black skin, in particular the faces, on your gaming models. Great for a Space Marine sergeant or maybe a Slaves to Darkness marauder, or any tabletop miniature for that matter. We look at an alternative to the common basecoat and wash technique.

If I have similar colours, would they still work together? Even if some are lighter or darker? Cheers Henry

Absolutely. You’ll notice there’s a fair bit of mixing anyway.

If you wanted to have various ethnicities in a GS cult Kill Team, would changing the final glaze to your genestealer's skin color work, or is it not that simple to have a good result?
