For caucasian skin tones, I use Burnt Sienna plus white. For darker skin tones, I use Burnt Umber, a bit of Burnt Sienna, and sometimes a tiny bit of white. And for very dark skin tones, Burnt Umber plus Black. I never use anything with a label that mentions any sort of skin color anymore.

Hey Big Guy:)!!!!! Great to see you doing a preview of the team before playing!!!!! I knocked out 140 phase 1 clone troopers for a massive star wars game (some day LOL) I did I think about 600 CIS droids so I'm going to need WAAAAAAAAAY more clones!!!!! I want to do Geonosis and Kamino.Ya Kamino is going to be a BIG BUILD. Any way GREAT to see the process and I've been LOVING your tables!!!!!!!!

Been doing up some iron core storm troopers I do love the extra parts wargames Atlantic gives

They are really well done sprues.

To me militia implies unorganized and underequipped. Instead of a full uniform, how about PART of a uniform, say the shirt, and then mix the trouser colors. Shirt in a standard green, brown, camo, or blue...and then have them wearing trousers like jeans, khakis, leather, even a different camo scheme like a hunters vs military camo. I say camo if youre up to that hellacious task. Ive successfully painted a couple of camo miniatures but its a lot of work and sooooo easy to screw up.

For me. the yellow are the low-cost, generic uniform for the most discerning militia volunteers :)
