Right... usual I am pretty good at figuring out a decent way of painting any model...but my new corpse cart baffles my mind (Like I said, the zombies have it)

So I was wondering if somebody could either tell me how to or point me in the direction of someone who can tell me how to paint decent looking zombies on the corpse cart.

As usual , thanks in advance

Flesh pool of flesh with red. Paint them like zombles, then wash them with the red to represent all the blood from the excessive amounts of impaled deathness. That could work.

My regular shop had a way of painting zombies using dheneb stone but then washing it with leviathan purple or thraka green ( I think those are the washes, I don't have many of the new ones!). Personally I'd maybe go for tallarn flesh mixed with a little camo green? It would have some warmth and a sickly colour, as all good decomposes have a want of being...

I've tried paint flesh, wash red, drybrush flesh and it looked meh,

I don't really like the idea of tons of blood..if these bodies have started de-composing there wont be tons of blood :/


Thanks for the ideas though guys...they might help me come up with something on my own

Yeh I don't agree with tonnes of blood on decomposing/decomposed corpses because, let's face it, there won't be much, if any, left in the body. Most organs will have gone a minging greeny black if it's diseased which is the impression the corpse cart gives off.

Now I have the "Bring out yer Dead" sketch of Monty Python's The Holy Grail stuck in my head...

Um...how about...dwarf flesh...layered with a very pale flesh tone, then a very fine highlight of a paler tone?



I really cannot think atm :/

Well, I usually prime black, then paint all the skin and flesh Charadon Granite, and then do a Wash of Ogryn's flesh, then Baal Red, then a few spots of Thrakka green here and there.

Hmm...any chance of some pics from people who have painted zombies??

I need to know if the look will fit my idea of zombies
