Experimenting...
So after watching several videos of people painting warhammer figures I decided to try a method a little different from what I've been using;
With my previous two zombie figures I've painted each colour with precision! Ensuring its perfect before moving into the next colour touching it - if I went back over the colour previous, I'd redo that and then move on - etc etc
Well on my latest zombie I went for a style id watched on a few videos, just getting the colours in the right places with no real caution and then tidying up later...
And the result? I'm sticking with my slow and steady method! It was really frustrating and seemingly slower doing it the latter, and felt really 'out of order' skipping from shoes to shirt to skin etc
Spent three hours on a figure today and not finished yet, should get it done tomorrow and hopefully another one too
Pics and video tomorrow

A growing army
Zombie number two has been raised!
Similar methods to previously - I really feel the washes make the most of the vampire counts mini's - they really bring life (or death) to the zombies!
As ever I enjoyed this poor soul as I painted - found myself making less mistakes with the brush (invester in better brushes!) and can feel the confidence in me building - still taking things slowly though, this one took about two and a half hours - I'm really keen to try and reach a high standard with the painting - but for my
Second ever figure, I'm pleased.
Bases on both models are not finished, I'm waiting for some materials to be delivered which I think should put a finishing touch to the work
I added some dry brushing to the club to pick out the highlights - I also used some gloss on his wounds to really have them shine like a fresh wound - I like the effect
Growing with this figure as with the first I used the tutorial on YouTube by WarBossTae and copied colours etc and even used the same model - this one I built and chose colours etc myself, the hair I wasn't sure I could make look very good - I might change later but I think for now it suits the model

Zombie one - officially raised!
So my first real attempt at warhammer figure painting and my first Zombie from my forthcoming army is officially raised from the dead and ready to be joined by other unlucky souls!
It took ages! A good 2/3 hours work but I really wanted to perfect what I could and pay plenty of attention to detail - I've been so impressed by some works I've seen online and really want to work towards such brilliant painting results
A few pictures below and a HD vid just because it picks up details better than the pics
The colours used:
Dheneb stone
Tallarn flesh
Shadow grey
Karmi brow
Chaos black
Calthan brown
Scorched brown
Experimented with all of the washes in the range
I'm always welcoming to constructive feedback and tips! I'm here to learn :-)
Huge credit to WarbossTae - YouTube him for some excellent tutorials and paint work. Used his zombie tutorial and likely to do the same with my skelly army!
