What flesh colour?

[buzzbuzz]

Hey guys, just returned to the hobby, bought loads of nids but now I'm struggling a bit with my paint scheme. I'm quite happy with the carapace but I don't think black flesh will cut it. Any suggestions on what colour will make the flesh look decent?

Practice really.

Here's two videos from GW about doing black/grey.

Thanks, that second video helped a lot! Still not sure black is the right colour though...

I like the carapace colour a lot. It's very hard to do black. I always say never do black unless you are AWESOME. Even good people can't do black because it will always look like it's just primed. Only a very few can pull this off so I never try it. I actually like what you did, because you have grey there so it's not "all black". Thing is black doesn't work with your carapace.

Have you tried a colour wheel? See what goes with the carapace? Try this link. color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/?base=2&rule=Complementary&selected=2&name=My%20Color%20Theme&mode=rgb&rgbvalues=0.7,0.4347925041417966,0,1,0.6590189338965956,0.09999999999999998,1,0.6211321487739951,0,0,0.36075219971410205,0.7,0,0.5153602853058601,1&swatchOrder=0,1,2,3,4

I tried something and used "complement". That would give you a blue. So maybe instead of black like I think you wanted, try a blue. Maybe a very dark blue? Play around and see if this helps.
