I tend to jump all over the color wheel when it comes to my orcs...my uruk-hai I tend to stick with the selection you've chosen. Here is a couple photos for reference...hope they help.
Looks like greys, greens, browns, blues and so on...

Hey all, as I'm painting up my Morannon Orcs I've come to the realization that I don't know what colour to paint their flesh. For Moria Goblins I've done various shades of pallid green. For Mordor Orcs, I'm doing them all a pale ash-grey. Mordor Uruks and Fighting Uruk-hai are blue-black and dark reddish-brown, respectively. What looks good on Morannons though? |

I've never painted them but I'd say do something similar to your Mordor orcs because they both come from the same area, Morannons are just more elite and armoured |

These reference pics show it perfectly, as you can see Morannon orcs have almost human undertones to their flesh. I painted mine with overtones of reds and greens but based their faces as i would any man, elf or dwarf model, i made each of mine a little different, now when they are all put together they look awesome! I found these models a pleasure to paint personally, enjoy them |

I chose four main flesh tones for mine (can't remember the others) Light Brown: Basecoat the flesh with Balor Brown (Snakebite Leather). Highlight the flesh with a mix of Balor Brown and Rakarth Flesh (Deheb Stone). Green: Basecoat the flesh with Castellan Green (Catachan Green). Highlight the flesh with a mix of Castellan Green and Elysian Green (Camo Green). Pale Grey: Basecoat the flesh with Dawnstone (Codex Grey). Highlight the flesh with a mix of Dawnstone and White Scar (Skull White). Pinky Brown (couldn't think of another way to describe it): Basecoat the flesh with Doombull Brown (Dark Flesh). Highlight the flesh with a mix of Doombull Brown and Rakarth Flesh (Deheb Stone). I've got pictures here: http://chrisgomhobbyblog.blogspot.co.uk ... ptain.html here: http://chrisgomhobbyblog.blogspot.co.uk ... -orcs.html and in my WIP Hope this helps |
