Ive bought Hellborn Cultists (http://www.onslaughtmini.com/128-hellborn-cultists.html) for Chaos Cultists for my Loast and the Damned army. But have a little problem finding a way to paint their skin so its looks pale and sickly. Any one know how to do it in 6mm?
I have tried different skin tones, but they all come out quite pink.

I would use a bone color and the trick is probably in the wash. A mid sepia with a drop of blue would do the trick, I suppose.

Those cultists have so little skin on em that it probably wont matter, so bone white with a light wash will do.
Be sure to post your results!!!

Who are the cultist following? That could influence the colour choices.

Pale blue for Tzeentch, pale green for Nurgle, bone for Slaanesh, and heck, red for Khorne!

Then use watered down inks or washes to tint them... I'll keep all this in mind once I get back to my Lost and the Damned.

I've got some Dark Elves for Warmaster, and my thinking has been to use Vallejo Heavy Warmgrey which is meant to be a replacement to Dheneb Stone but... isn't.

The AoS Nurgle/Khorne mortals has a good sickly skin involving Kislev and Flayed One Flesh colors.

It's (sadly) not but interesting to note that dheneb stone with ogryn flesh or leviathan purple wash and then brought back up with dheneb with silver grey is a very disturbing skin tone. Try it out.
