My Ogre Kingdom army has started to arrive, and I'm wondering. What are the best colors to use when painting the skin on both the Ogres and the Gnoblars?

Well, I've played quite a few Ogre armies and this is what I got:

Ogres: A tan-ish skin colour is good, but everyone paints them tan. If your trolls are from a wintery place try painting them lighter. If they are from a sunny place try painting them with more red or browns mixed into the tan colour. For example, a generic skin might be..... Graveyard Earth. If you want a tanner Ogre add some darker brown colour, and a touch of red colour.


Gnoblars: Painting them exactly like a Goblin is what I've seen, but it doesn't look good. I usually see people paint them dark greens like Dark Angels Green.
