My Ghouls Painted With Folkart and Americana Paints (mostly)

I keep running into nay-sayers with regards to "craft store paints" on the various boards, so I thought I'd show my ghouls, which were painted with mostly Folk Art and Americana paints to help show that craft store paints work just fine . The only non "craft store paints" are the darkest coat of teal (hawk turquoise) and the more yellowish bone base coat (GWs Bubonic Brown).

The recipe for the skins, which I am particularly proud of:
Brown Prime (army painter)
Americana's:Cranberry Wine base coat then going up in half steps through (i.e. cranberry+heritage brick then heritage brick then heritage brick + Georgia clay...):
Americana's Heritage Brick
Americana's Georgia Clay
Folk Art's Terra Cotta

For those who care... that's an 8 dollar savings just for the skin. All in all I used 4 more Americana and Folk Art paints...saving me enough to buy an extra 10 ghoul bodies and legs from Hoard O Bits, and using my leftover arms and legs to make 10 more ghouls for free.
