Walk of the Dead #1

I decided to try my hand at speed-painting some zombies today.  This is Cool-Mini-Or-Not's Walk of the Dead #1 box for Zombicide.  We're planning on playing Zombicide sometime after Christmas, so it'll be good to have some of these buggers ready to go.  

These aren't going to win any Golden Daemons (is that still a thing?) but it will get some decent-looking brain-eaters onto the table at a rate of about 8 zombies/hour.  These 24 took about 3 hours off and on, not counting the dry time for the washes.

Step 1: Get a nice flesh-tone going with 1:1 Slaanesh Gray and water.  I don't care, this paint's free. You can't take Slaanesh from me.

Step 2: Get a 1:1 coat of paint and water going on the rest of the parts of the models.  Mix up the color palette a little bit to keep some variety in that horde unless you're going for fashion zombies.

Step 3: The ultimate secret to painting dirty hordes quickly.  This works for orcs, zombies, probably skaven, too.  DROWN IT ALL IN BROWN WASH!

Step 4: Use red wash to create a blood-stained effect anywhere on the models you like and then put a dash of red paint here and there to represent even fresher staining.

Hit it with a coat of varnish and go invade the local mall!  (Those are those things we had before Amazon, kids.)
