Yes, I used Army Painter Skeleton Bone as the primer and the Zombie Flesh base coat.

The GW Brown Ink does have a bit of gloss in it, so that gives it a bit of a shine. If I'd been painting Zombies that were recently dead I would have definitely have gone for a wet blood look and used Ardcoat but these sculpts look like they've been dead for ages so I wanted the blood to a bit dried out.

These Zombies are from a company called Otherworld Miniatures http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/

They're a bit pricey but they're very good quality Watchmen02

GW makes some great paints but I find the cost pricey plus their paint pots were terrible
(once they ditched the 8 sided ones ,I have pots going back over 20 years that are still good).
I mostly use Ripper or Army Painter now.

Yes I'm inspired to get down to the paint room and go for it but I'm waiting for my Massive
Darkness stuff to arrive. I do have a backlog but I'm just not motivated to work on those
figs. I tend to get buzzed about a Game and just want to work on that Game (well until
the next Buzz come along) .

I agree about the GW paints. For some reason they can't get the pots right. I remember the glass paint pots they were the best. GW do make awesome paints the pigments and the range of colours are great (I especially like the washes) but like you say they are expensive.

I've just ordered some more Zombies from Studio Miniatures http://www.studiominiatures.com/. I will post them on here when I've painted them
