Blue Orc skin

So, I decided to paint my Hunter orcs flesh blue to stand them out. We'll see how that goes :roll:

But then, what paints shall I use? Any advice helpful.

The old GW foundation paint Astronomicon grey was an awesome blue orc flesh colour.

I believe our very own SouthernDunedain has a good technique for painting blue skin

on his hunter orcs too - he'll be the man to ask

Looking the conversion chart its Celestra grey, right? Also, what layers and shades and stuff should I use?

The Mordor Uruks pictured in the following link were painted using the following method.

Black undercoat
Basecoat Astronomicon Grey ( sorry i don't know the new paint name equivalent)
Ink with watered down blue wash
Highlight using astronomicon grey again
watered down brown wash.

If I may offer an alternative

Basecoat Shadow grey / the fang
Wash w/ nuln oil
highlight russ grey.

Sorry for the poor picture, I'll try take a better one tomorrow.
