When I first saw the Big Daddy figure I was so blinkered to the fact that I had another Smartie that I never even considered that he could be used as a survivor. But since it has been mentioned, I definitely see the possibilities. Nice one, Studio!<br /><br />Both sets of Studio zeds may well appear in my next batrep but don't hold your breath waiting for the smart zombie!<br /><br />@Oliver. You're so right abour Dheneb Stone and Devlan Mud - great colours. As for the figures - these what you'd expect to find in a serious zombie film, like something directed by Romero.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-44753241946749574012011-08-10T19:28:01.741+01:002011-08-10T19:28:01.741+01:00Hah, I haven't used Dheneb Stone for Zed skin ...Hah, I haven't used Dheneb Stone for Zed skin yet, but I will do. Dheneb and Devlan Mud are something that GW definitely has done right.<br /><br />I agree, very, very good paint job. The muted colours make 'em look dirty and mean.

To be honest, painting Studio Miniatures zombies is a sheer labour of love.<br /><br />@Adam. I'm often asked how I paint my zombies, so here goes again. All paints are from Games Workshop.<br />1. Paint flesh areas Citadel Dheneb Stone from their Foundation Paints set.<br />2. Give this a wash of Badab Black.<br />3. Drybrush with Dheneb Stone.<br />4. Drybrush with a 1/1 mix of Dheneb stone and Skull White.<br />5. Paint eyesockets and mouth Chaos Black.<br />6. Add a dot of Skull White to the eyesockets for the eyes. If teeth are visible, paint them either Bleached Bone or Skull White.<br /><br />@Brummie. I see no reason why you couldn't use the Big Daddy figure as a survivor. He has no visible wounds so if you can find a use for him as a survivor then go for it.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-52014562390144035072011-08-10T13:45:50.140+01:002011-08-10T13:45:50.140+01:00Nice work as always.

I didn't even realize the bonus fig was a zombie based off the pic on the website; I thought he was a survivor. A smart zombie is a little more unique though. Great review and paintjobs as always.<br /><br /><br />May I ask what sort of recipe do you use for zombie skin colour?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340813263749275644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-26304089056110211312011-08-10T13:32:25.023+01:002011-08-10T13:32:25.023+01:00These are especially grimy, icky, oozy zombies, so...These are especially grimy, icky, oozy zombies, some of your best work as they're quite frightening and horrible looking.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
