Title: Zombie Flesh??
Post by: Nosher on 20 September 2015, 12:38:50 PM
Contemplating the flesh tones on my Warband Undead  :-\

What colours are people using for Zombie Flesh? I use vallejo paints. Pastel Green I quite like but its almost white and doesn't stand out enough methinks.....

What else could I use?

Vallejo green grey number 971 with a green or brown wash might work well

Lower extremities would be almost burgundy, due to lividity. Otherwise a grey/green colour, pale and tending mote to grey.

I still have 2 pots of rotting flesh, but didn't want to use them on my zombies, as the ghouls were painted in that colour  :D

Rotting flash, heavy thraka green wash, rotting flesh drybrush on raised area's and then very dry white drybrush  ;)

Oh and the blood splatter is just regular baal red wash painted/pooled on

Coat d'arms flesh (it's quite pale) green ink wash, flesh highlights, then muddy highlights over the whole figure!
