you've got red on you

Was really nice seeing a "quick and dirty" video like this - because let's face it: as much as we all want our models to be pinnacles of our skill, sometimes we also just want to get them *done* - and zombies a good example of it. Great results for efficient time investment. On the topic of blood effects, I've found that if you want some especially gnarly looking gore - like something got ripped up, munched on, or possibly exploded - mixing Typhus Corrosion with Blood for the Blood God (or if you want to be *really* fancy, mixing it with red and brown, then layering BftBG on top after it dries) creates a nice, chunky viscous look.

Love these batch paints, am tempted to buy the zombie horde figures on amazon, so much fun to paint!

Love painting zombies, they give you total creative license in terms of skin and clothing etc. Great job mate 💪🏻

Those are some wild looking miniatures but the painting looks great! Thanks for sharing this.

Very nice.

Thank you , Troy . 🐺

Brilliant tutorial. I started my miniatures painting hobby by doing zombicide minis. Really enjoyed them. Not done zombies for a while, but I have the walking dead board game minis to paint and this has given me a fresh approach. Thanks again for the fantastic work. Regards Ian

I have a lot of different paints and I really like using AP. I fully agree with your comments!

As for the Orks, these aren't my favourites minis, therefore the effect of decaying flesh is well achieved, these kind of effects could be used also on Nurgle's traitor guards or for cultists of some Eldritch Horrors 👍😱

I find that even better than switching between colours on one zombie is switching between different parts of multiple zombies with the same colour, using a brown or slate grey (German Grey, of course) to do say the boots on one zombie, the trousers on another and the shirt on a third, then flipping the sections with the next colour.

Good job, I have the whole set of Zombiecide to get too and you make a lot of good points to not overthink the scheme. Or sometimes just going with a few colors to go wild with painting. However I did use Barbarian Flesh from the Army Painter to basecoat my zombies as I figured a city would have them more 'freshly' done, but to lead on to the criticism of the Vortex Mixer with Army Painter-I would say that it's a tool that benefits all paints, not just one range. For example, I find that Vallejo's Gunmetal Grey and Old Gold are a hassle to get to properly flow but the mixer has helped me considered getting more of the range given it shakes them properly. There's also GW's layer paints which separate quite badly but are well mixed, along with Corax White which is infamous to use, due to the mixer. Therefore I don't think using it is a negative to Army Painter, after all it's a tool and you could easily replicate the mixing with a reciprocating saw if push comes to shove. And as well, look at wet palettes, does one really need them to use all their paints to their potential? No. But yet many advocate for them. So is that a weakness of paints themselves? Absolutely not. The same goes for brushes, hobby holders, dremels, etc. They're tools, but they're things of themselves outside of the paint's quality-which the 'soup' consistency would be a valid criticism.

Thx. Nice vid.

Fantastic! That wash mix really brought everything together. I had the faith you were going to pull it off, but that was even faster than I imagined.

Blood for the Blood God is such a sweet technical paint. The dabbing/tapping to add nasty texture and patterns is so simple but so effective. I've got a horde of Mantic zombies to batch out soon so you bet I'll be referencing this vid for them! Thanks for the great content as always!

I like a dark browny-red in and around the Glistening Blood/Blood for the Blood God. For AP I like something like Crusted Sore. Gives it a dried blood look where the thinnest smudges would start caking up. Probably er... Khorne Red for Citadel equivalent?

Brilliant, thank you. Wanted to use Necrotic Flesh for my The Walking Dead walkers and this is perfect 👍

Alternatively, a skewer or chopstick makes a good stirrer for army painter paints. Great video and fantastic zombies, thanks!

Just printed these guys up and was resigned to analysis paralysis and freezing up on how I would paint them. Thanks for this - will definitely help me get going!

Amazing video, always love zombies. I also love army painter paints they can be troublesome but the color to me is perfect. Have a great day and thank you for sharing such great tips and tricks.

Braiiiiins

I’m assuming you varnish before applying the blood for the blood gods? Great work as always!👍🏽☢️

they're are disgusting.... nice job :) BRAAAAINNNZS

Quite nice! What printer do you use, and what settings?

I prefer my zombies seasoned thanks 😅

Might be a silly question , but what kind of brushes do you use ? I like the tip for the brush that you use to base the zombie and looks like it works well , just not sure which brush you are using.
