Very nice work on the zombies, incidentally I gave one of mine undies just like yours, must have been shopping at the same mall ;)
Let me hear the battle cry

Since the zombie are apt to show up on the same table as well it's quite possible they went shopping together.

The question of course is, where can we find that mall, so we can use it for gaming puposes :)

I might paint up the other twelve I have after the LPL, just to be capable of fielding a plastic horde. How did the painting of you zombies go? Most parts were fine to paint for me, except for the faces. I just have to get used to them being so small. Sadly during painting I discoverd I didn't remove enough of the mould lines on the faces, which didn't help painting them :(

Anxious to see how yours turned out though.
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

Mine might show up in a future round of the LPL if I don't finish anything else in time, otherwise you'll see them on the table (or at my home). The painting on mine is a lot rougher and quicker, more washes and less highlights. I didn't devote much attention to the faces and just gave these an extra wash to pick out the detail. And of course they're more grey. Yours look better so I'm glad I went for the scouts as my entry ;)

The funny thing is, I tested two methodes of painting zombie skin on this group.

One half involved a lot of work, starting at a mixture of tallarn flesh/dark angel green, followed by 4 succesive highlites, with rotting flesh added to the mix. The guy from Fatboy slims "You've come a long way , baby" is part of this half.

Theother halfwas just based coated in rotting flesh, got an ogryn flesh wash and a highlight with rotting flesh. The 2nd method wasn't only easier and faster, it also looked more vile, imho. The guys in the undies was painted using this method.

For any reading this, how do you do your (zombie) skin?

I'd like to get all the zombies from the lead pile painted up and play nasty zombie/survival games. Or maybe even better, subject my friends to nasty zombie survival games  :D
