[AntiZombie]

hey all, so im a little stuck as far as how i usually go about undead flesh. I was hoping people could maybe post examples and what colors they use to achieve some undead flesh?

thanks

GW makes an undead flesh color. I actually do different things depending upon how i feel. I have used a green basecoat followed by a flesh color wash on the highlights to get a gangrene kind of look.

couple different way to go with how I paint undead flesh.

main way is using vallejo paints(say the hell away from GW paints-overpriced and crappy pigmentation) use a base of stone grey, smoke wash, and then a mix of 50/50 stone grey and pale flesh drybrush.

replace stone grey with green ochre for a more greenish/yellow tone. my best bet is experiment. thats about the best way to find what works best with you

I use a simple formula white primer rotting flesh and Devlan mud wash

[JMGraham]

I start with a mixture of GW's rotten flesh + camo green, hit it with a green wash, then more camo+rotten. I the highlight with successive layers of rotten flesh with more and more white mixed in. The end result is so:

i use p3 menoth white base for my skin on my Zombies (as well as my nephilim)

[WookieeGunner]

I went with a more decomposing look of space wolves grey and termangant purple wash

I am a bit late to this post, but I use an undead flesh triad from the Reaper Master Series paints.

From another thread:

After searching and searching and searching and not finding much of anything other than neon green zombies, I started experimenting, mixing parts of different non-green schemes I found.

I finally ended up with base coating in Rotting flesh, washing it with Gryphonne Sepia, a light drybrush of Bleached Bone, and finally a wash of 2 : 1 : 1 Baal Red, Asurmen Blue, and water. I am very satisfied with the results.

These fellows were done using GW Rotting Flesh, plus increasing proportions of Foundry White. They also had a wash made of equal portions of older GW brown and purple washes (note that these were the older, thinner washes, not the current gooey ones):

Here's an individual picture so you can get a better look at the effect:

this is my Steamborg:

for his skin i started with GW pallid flesh, a very watered down leviathan purple wash, and then drybrushed several times with pallid fllesh again

[CivicNecromancer]

My usual combo, using all GW colors, is :

- Prime white

- cover completely in Rotting Flesh

- Ogryn Flesh wash

- Drybrush / highlight in Rotting Flesh (to pull the green back into the color)

The reddish tones in the Orgryn Flesh wash will turn the Rotting Flesh brownish, so you'll need that last coat of Rotting Flesh to pop it back into actual green. Once you do, it comes out looking rather rancid.

On this rottin' guy, I primed white, then used GW Dwarf Flesh mixed with GW Charadon Granite as a basecoat, then highlighted with adding more and more GW Rotting Flesh to the mix. I plan to use something like that on my Death Marshals too.

I use GW dwarf flesh, washed with a thin coat of dark angels green, then highlighted with very thin elf flesh. The green shows through nicely.

I don't have any pictures to hand but there are a few on my blog linked below.
