The skin tone on the undead did it for me.   :-*

 Gorgeous color on the skin, I agree! Let us know how you pulled that off.

I don't posess the technical expertise to choose between great paint jobs like these (or any submissions).

I will just say "awesome, both are beautiful"  and leave it at that.

Weird, because I am hyper competitive in all other regards.

As the captain is undead and having several other undead pirates I decided to paint the ladies as undead too.

Started with a black undercoat that was drybrushed with GW Shadow grey. (kind of a blue-ish tone)
Then another drybrush of Codex grey, topped with drybrushed Space Wolves grey
Finally I highlighted some parts with pure Space Wolves grey...

I think I can easily be done with similar shades, as long as you have 3-4 colours from dark to light.
It took me a couple of runs to see what was best.

 Thanks for the pointers, Northstar. I can certainly use all the help I can get. lol
 I did enjoy the victorian zombie fighters as well. I voted for them the last round.
