hi guys i just had the an idea to paint my corsairs with the classic red, green and yellow Jamaican colour scheme. I will be painting their skin brown and i have never done this before.

I'm painting up a test model at the moment. It's just for for fun as the corsiars won't take up much of my army if any.
i put this in general because i mainly want to know what you guys think of the Jamaican pirate idea but any help on the dark skin tone would be appreciated.

For lighter dark skin, I use mournfang brown, apply brown ink wash, then highlight with 50:50 mournfang brown with ushabati bone

For darker variants I used rhinox hide with a touch of abaddon black, then apply straight rhinox hide, highlight with rhinox hide and a touch of ushabati bone, then apply wash and add final highlight of 50:50 rhinox hide ushabati bone hope this helps.

hmmm intersesting but do you realy want to? Might make the army look realy silly. Sho us the test model once complete anyway.

thanks for that i was wondering how i was going to do it. i will have a look at paint equivalents later today.



I got a bit distracted from the test model last night but from doing some bass coats i think i need to find a way to make them more Jamaican instead of colourful corsairs. I wont be using them all the time as i plan to make use of the %50 bows for Harad most games, well thats the plan anyway I've not played with them yet because most of them are unpainted.
