So do you know any good ways to paint the army of the dead, I checked the GW website and it did not even looked finished, so I am looking for dakka to help me with this one.

The best bet is Start with a Dark grey, then to heavy drybrush up with dark blue toned grey (Shadow) then a second dry brush with Space wolves, then white. Then a few green washes.
They would look similar to the way they are portrayed in the film I believe.

Hope that helps.

They way I painted my army of the dead was:
1st step - Paint the model grey (doesn't matter what grey but I would go with a light grey)
2nd step - Paint the chain mail and shields with shadow grey
3rd step - Painted a heavy coat of a blue wash
4th step - Painted a heavy wash of a green wash
And if you want to give a bit more detail, you could paint there helments with a silver and give the blue and green wash, but the thing about them is that, there dead and they wont have alot of colour.
I also painted my weapons gold with blue, green, black and than brown wash.

My Army of the Dead were undercoated black, heavy drybrush Codex Grey, Thraka Green wash, drybrush Fortress Grey, Thraka Green wash, then very light drybrush of Skull White. Each of the washes was fairly undiluted and I made sure it covered everything.
