Just finished all the armor and now on to cloth bits! I used greenish white, deep yellow and dark Prussian blue (ak) over a purple undercoat.

Thank you again for you advice and encouragement. I just finished my ice skinned orcs and they look.. well, like my first attempt at making interesting skin tones. Haha. I think I'm using too much paint and covering up the base coats for my priming color to matter much. Their base coat was also completely blue-gray, which was the bulk of their skin tone, so it didn't allow for much variety.

When I get around to painting the fire orcs, I'll make sure to mix the base color with the skin colors first, then (dry brush?) the primary tones on top of that.

I do quite dislike drybrushing (the technique, not the results) as I feel it takes a lot more time, but I suppose it's something I'll get better with over time.

I'd probably just do thin layers since I'm not great at dry-brushing either. But either could work.
