I want to be able to make my VC zombies look like the Freshly undead. This means I will have to make them look dirty with caked on mud on their skin, but wet blood on their wounds,

How would you do this?

If I had a dollar for every dollar I spent I'd have all my money back.

use a brush on gloss varnish on the bloody bits, leave the other bits unfinished.

Or this: , works like gloss varnish + smells nice + you mix them into home made wash .

I keep two kinds of Modge-Podge in my modeling supplies: matte and gloss finish. It is essentially a PVA glue, but watered down matte finish makes an exceptional clear-coat, and the gloss is great for just the thing you describe. I would do all my base painting, get in a wash to give the model depth, then drybrush on the mud effects, highlight the blood, and then apply the matte clear finish, and finally add the gloss to the blood for that extra wet look.

+1 on the Future. Mix with whatever color red, purple or whatever and put it on the blood areas. Looks nice and fresh.

If you have the OOP GW Red Ink that stays glossy too. Future works good too and isn't discontinued.

Ive discovered painting my necromunda gang a neat trick. If you base them white, and then dip them in a floor wax/varnish, and THEN paint the minis have a nice mix of flat/shine areas. Looks pretty neat. Try it on a spare zombie you might like it
