I use a mixture of Rotting Flesh and Dwarf Flesh with a Chaos Black undercoat. It's perfect for Pestilens because it has that sickly pinkish look to it.

I do the flesh on mine real quick and messy (since I think that is the best look on huge units of rats) Spray Chaos black primer, entire model gets a beastal brown sloppy drybrush and a lighter (but still sloppy) drybrush of bronzed flesh on the skin bits... if I am feeling ambitious, Ill go for a light dusting of elf flesh afterwards... (skaven)

I use bronzed flesh followed by highlights of elf flesh, and then elf flesh + white.
it looks pretty good.

1) Chaos Black undercoat/primer
- Apply directly from spraycan!

2) Beastial Brown or Verman Fur
- Color based on the undertone I want for him. verman fur being reddish.
- Semi-drybrushed... thinned paint and brush still a little wet so paint doesn't stay only on highlights but kinda discolors the black a bit in all but the deepest areas.

3) Mix bleached bone + a brown.. your choice!
- Bleached bone instead of white to lighten up a brown a little, not a bunch.
- Drybrush over fur to pick up most of the high spots and some of the medium depth areas.

4) Mix bleached bone + brown.. perhaps some other colors too.
- A lighter mix than step3, in fact, fairly light colored. Can mix in yellows, browns, reds, or whatever to give a little highlight color.
- VERY VERY light drybrushing, careful to get nearly every bit of paint off brush first. Only want the tips of the highest points on model.

For snouts and paws, bleached bone + beastal brown to highlight them since they aren't as furry as other places on rat. Crimson gore + tiny bit of green to darken it for the nails. Leperous brown followed by bleached bone and sometimes followed by white for teeth. (rank and file more yellowed teeth, heros more towards white.

Nightrunners can probably be a bit more brownish, gutterrunners, warlords, chieftains, and stormverman staying more into the black with dark brown highlights, mostly black assassins. Clanrats and slaves more into the browns and yellow/orangeish.

For clothing on eshin.. deadly nightshade. I don't see it on citidal's list anymore... maybe they renamed it midnight blue. Its a really dark blue.

Mine's strange. It's Elf Flesh over Snakebite Leather, inked with Chestnut. It actually looks pretty cool, if you give it a heavy wash. A light wash is good for sun-bleached slaves, or rotting Pestilens guys. :P
Neek-neek...MEOW?!
