Starting a mongol army, can anyone recommend colours for mongol skin from the GW or Coat d'arms ranges? Also if you have any tips, eg what washes and dry bushes thanks |

For my Boxer Chinese, I prime with spray Flat White.
Basecoat is GW Snakebite Leather, diluted with water.
Then I drybrush with Ceramcoat Medium Flesh. |

For my Huns I use GW dark (caucasian)skin with a bit of snakebite leather as undercoat, then more snakebite leather toned up with elf skin. Looks ok. I wonder if the Huns were really racially so distinct? Or when the horde stopped being so. |

Well, Susan Hayward played a Tartar princess in "The Conqueror", and Lee van Cleef played a Mongol… |

I've seen a few modern Mongols from time to time in NYC. The real difference is cheek bones, face shape and hair texture/color, rather than skin color. But paint 'em as you wish. Jack Palance played Ogedai and chewed up whole sets single-handed. |

Foundry does an Asian flesh color that looks pretty good. I used it on my samurai and I wished I had used it on my WWII Japanese.
