You could try using a dark, blueish or purplish undercoat, at least in the
usual shadowed areas, and much lighter, reddish tones to model the face and
hands and (especially) highlight.
The highlights can be _much_ lighter than one might expect.
Also, kill the white used for teeth and (especially) eyes a good bit more than
for a european, to avoid them standing out too much. Remember to lighten the
skin shade on the palms.

I have a bunch of figures (old Grenadier Future Warriors) that have Negroid
type facial features, I plan to try to paint these with 'black' skin tones but
at the moment I'm struggling. Does anyone have suggestions for painting
'black' tones?

I've found that Ral Partha's "Dunkel Brown (Braun?)" works perfectly.

yeah the trick is painting it the same as if you were painting with a peach
(white) color.
but vary your color into light and dark browns.\
