AntiZombie Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 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 AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbdrand Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelwhip Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Strange Dude Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I use a simple formula white primer rotting flesh and Devlan mud wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieeGunner Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I went with a more decomposing look of space wolves grey and termangant purple wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomorte Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am a bit late to this post, but I use an undead flesh triad from the Reaper Master Series paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispep Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heldrak Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 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): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hieronymous Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CivicNecromancer Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 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. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
