Hi guys n gals,
just looking for some tutorials on painting Zombies and or decaying flesh.
I've had a quick look on google, the gw website etc and can't find anything to helpful.
anyone know of a step by step tutorial out there? any help would be appreciated :-)

Asurmen Blue/Leviathan Purple washes are your friends.

Basically:
You want to use the standard fleshtones, but the highlights and shading will be done using blue/grey tinges. With a smidge of green/browns for more advanced decay.

I use rotting flesh and a devlan mud wash.

More for necrotic/gangrenous flesh than zombie, though.

It's how my servitors have their flesh. They're done up as clockwork borg.

There is a tutorial in White Dwarf 356(i think) on how to do undead skin. It uses a purple colour but you can interchange for greens and blue as you need. It turns up quite nice too.

Also another one i did was with levithian purple. I mixed tallarn flesh and chaos black (it turns a darker grey flesh colour) then washed with levithian purple and highlighted up to tallarn flesh, turns out pretty good too.

rotting flesh & paint the rest in bright colours (eg yellow, light blue, orange, red etc) the cover the whole thing in a wash mix of green & brown.
