I'm new here, and I've brought friends

[Shadow]

Hail friends! I'm new here, if you haven't guessed, and its my first time collecting an undead army. I've played once or twice, with my friends stuff, and I thought it was about time I had me own horde!

now I'm not that great at painting, so be kind. The bases need to be done.
Here are me zombies, I have a necromancer and a big bad ass bunch of skels on the way, so lets go!

and I've got some close ups, but I'll put more images on later. They are literally made of odds and ends. Having looked at the actual zombie kit, I find myself prefering these.

I really like what you've achieved with these zombies. What you've shown here is far from what I would call bad painting, I myself would be quite pleased with these pieces.

Now, figure out what sort of theme you want to run with on your bases and complete them, it'll make them look even better!

 

[The Dark Sheep]

Ooh... They look just like a rag-tag, bloody and shambling zombie horde. More of these. And the bases does half the model, so hurry up and do those.

 

[Skorne]

It's always nice to see anothers idea of what the walking dead would look like. If you don't have an idea in mind for the bases, try out a few ideas on one model before you base them all up and then (possibly) decide you want to change it. This happened to me, and it really took a while. I like your use of zombie bits, and you are right, the zombie set looks much better merged with other sets.

 

[Shadow]

here are a couple more, I couldn't load them up in time, so they are here now, as well as the standard for the unit.

from the side

the one with the flag doesn't show as much detail, but thats bad photography on my part. Cheers for the replies guys.

I've got a few more to paint, and then start basing. I've been playing with skellies and ghouls, so I'll get them up at some point too.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with your painting! As a unit they look great.

Now get 'em based!

[Master Vampire]

I have to agree, nice dirty look on the zombies. Very nice

 

[Abh0rash]

Just was wondering, what kind of paints do you use? Is it model paint? Citadel paint? They just look so shiny and wet, which works great with the ramshackle muddy group of zombies!

 

[Trevy the Great]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that just looks like a normal ink wash.

Anyway, great job on these models, Shadow, and welcome to CN!

 

[ironlord]

those look really good
nice and dead, just the way we like them!
do you have a common opponent who plays empire?
its always nice to wind someone up with their own dead filling your ranks!

 

[Arion]

Very nice, they capture the feel perfectly!

 

[Ricw]

hmm.. no images on this one for me

 

[Baslakor]

I like the painting, but the colours look a bit messy, specially from a distance.

I think they would look REALLY good if you all gave them a brown wash (with the new GW washes). I did it on my zombies and I'm really pleased with the results.

 

[Ricw]

Ok I have images now. Can you give me a breakdown of how you did the fire effect on the torch. i've tried this multiple times and end up with an orange blob

 

[Crimson]

Nice work on the zombies, Shadow. What are you going to do for the bases?
