All those Warhammer-style paints seem to be designed to be used as formulas, and it's tough to deviate from what the manufacturer says. Which is expensive (of course) and restrictive.
I wouldn't throw out your paint yet. But you might want to read further into tutorials that use it. As far as expense goes, I see that there are several types of Reikland Fleshshade. Could be you are using the wrong one.
I also see that it tends to pool up in your models (in painting, it's called a petit lac - the French for "tiny lake". It's not supposed to be sarcastic, as there are some valid petit lac techniques, but they are very technical and probably not useful in 3D.). Fleshshade is watery to begin with, but you could thin it even more. You can drybrush it on just for the parts that could use that definition as opposed to all over the skin. And you can use a bone-dry junk brush to wick away the stuff where it's pooled in your character. Anytime you see pooling of any kind, you're using too much - that's petit lac. Thin-thin multiple coats, even for Fleshshade.
