They look fine - not fresh ones, but ones more than a little past their use by date.

For a fast batch paint job, they are very good. Which reminds me that I have droves of WGF zeds to assemble and paint, btw...  ::)

Only thing I'd consider would be to tone down/dirty the red blood a bit, perhaps with a wash of black or brown... well, wash. Anyways, I'd be happy to churn out walkers at that speed!  :)

Looks like fence broke somewhere...  A few more colorful painted "fresh" kills would give a nice contrast.  You can't have too many Z's. :D

Thanks for the input!  Was going for the Walking Dead comic style colours.  Besides the blood (Which has two tones... One dark and a bright hi-lite;)) I only used three colours.  Then a strong tone and a dark tone army painter.  So mostly the are black and white as in a movie except for the blood:)

The 'grey mass' effect works very well with zombies!

I haven't had the grapic novel in my hands, but if the blood in it is a standard CMYK red-red, you probably nailed it. The only reason I commented on it, is that is is rather bright, and I tend to avoid that myself, but with the reason given, I can see it working.  :)

The comics are black and white.  The splash of red in inspired more from the covers.  Besides...BLOOD! ;D
