The Walking Dead - A tale of boot camps and laughter
Painting the horde
It has been a pleasure painting the walkers, but i probably need to do some better photographs once I have a few more painted.
Mobile loot tokensI think I saw the idea on a Facebook page. The idea of a moving loot token was really appealing to me, so I reached into a Bolt Action bits box and these two models became the proud owners of US Infantry WW2 back packs. Now these guys would need to be shot or struck down and once dead, rather than just prone, the next survivor to perform a search action on it would receive the loot.
Some of the glistening gore effects here are very cool! Particularly nice on the crawling half-torso’s.
How did you achieve the effects Dave mentioned. I got much blood an my Walkers, but there is no glistening. – That idea with backpacks on wlakers is simply great and I will do something similar. Maybe German backpacks? 🙂 – My favourite is the one with the palm tree on the back of his/her shirt.
The blood for the blood god citadel paint does finish with a nice gloss sticky look. Occasionally I have used the Nurgle’s Rot technical paint, but only got this recently. Some of the shade paints can end with a gloss look as well. Generally people highlight gloss edges after a shade paint or add anti-shine. When I wanted it to look oozy or wet anywhere I just didn’t do or reduced the highlight and didn’t matt varnish the area. If I really want to get it looking wet I might even try a gloss varnish, but not needed that yet.
