You interested in doing a tutorial of say a zombicide fatty. Maybe even just a list of the paints and primers.

I am finally going to start painting some of my minis and I figured I would start with some plastic zombies.

sure, no problem, its easy.

first things first. prime your minis. NOOOOOT.
well. I thought - do I need to prime all my minis with black spray, 80 miniatures, boooring, time consuming, expensive
I used my paints straight on the plastic.

I`m the Army Painter user so you can find nice colors over there

- Necrotic Flesh, for the skin
- Matt Black and White (you always need those)
- Red for the blood (if you need/want. My zombies are before the lunch)
- variety of colors for clothes - pick what you want.

I used "office" colors for normal Walkers - blue jeans, leather shoes, white tshirts etc.
I used glowing orange and yellow for Fatties (cause of their outfit = handyman/construction site) + white/else color for tshirts.
I used red/black/white for ladies walkers pants and stockings. Different set for shirts/shoes.
I used sporty colors for the Runners - grey blouses, and something that is special for them = all my runners have WHITE sneakers

Now, when all was dry I have used AK Interactive brown shade. It was the first time to use on minis (I have used it on my tanks earlier)
I think it looks ok - dirty kind of. I usually dip my minis in Army Painter can, or apply with a brush. Not this time.

I have used german grey (from tamiya) for the bases of zombies.

If you have any questions - I`m glad if I can be of help

Time to share some photos of my painting process. Everyone has his own, that is for sure, but as I do not have much time and I`m not a professional painter I need use some tricks (with inks dipping etc.

I usually start with the undercoat, primer. I have a photo of a miniature in front of my eyes (like Descent art or similar) and try to match as closely as possible base color of a miniature.

Example below shows my work in progress. In this case major color of the Drake is green so I prime it green.





From the other hand I also use black and skeleton bone (not white) for monsters and heroes as well



For High Mage Quellen I have already applied flesh skin tone.

After the base color I paint rest of the basic colors, not adding any fireworks - red, necro flesh, white, brown, metal etc.

You can see here that those monsters had blue as a base (check out the monster cards) and I have added red, white, bronze as details.







Those above were also shaded using Army Painter strong shade or AK Interactive streaking grime giving them little bit of complexity.

next post with details and basing - finishing the model

Great work! What game are the figures from? I like the colour scheme on the monsters!

Descent 1st and 2nd edition. its WIP. Still need to finish them

results of the painting (from previous post)

Cool bases. The sea monster rocks! What did you use for thr bases, for the wave effect?
