I work up from a black undercoat, coat of scorched brown then highlight graduating mixes from scorched brown - bestial brown - dark flesh - elf flesh (I very rarely get much elf flesh in there unless I'm painting nobles with their pale skin!). I'll then add either a touch of red gore for ruddy cheeks or a small amount of codex grey to the top highlight depending on what personality I want on the figure (farmer, preacher, leveller etc.). At a glance it doesnt make a huge difference but adds personality to massed ranks when viewed close up!
