Underpainting and Varghulf
Been experimenting with underpainting for my Vargulf. (Not sure if Underpainting is the technical term..)
First step was to airbrush some striking colours: green, yellow and some red.
Than I airbrushed a thin coat of a pale skin tone while making sure the underlying layer was showing a little bit.
Than I applied some streaking grime enamel to tie all the colours together.
Underpainting is a quick technique, but I think it adds a lot of depth and visual interest to the models.
Underpainting or a real clown fiesta 😄
Before the streaking grime
Final result
Old ghouls
There were a quick speed paint project and messing around with the airbrush.
Not a big fan of the purple hair..
I do like the slight color/hue difference for the skin tone.
Dirty Down Rust
Must try for rust effect!You can apply it directly or mix it with some paint (orange) or pigment powder.
It dries in two minutes. Then you take a damp brush/cotton swab to remove sone of it and smooth it out.
Initial application

Before cleaning
After a damp brush 
More zombies!
Paler/lighter skin tone. I think the rotten/pale green skin tone looks better
The core of the models are mantic ghouls with a lot kitbashing.
Zombies
Struggled a bit with some Uhu glue to ad the blood effect. I think it came out good, but it was not easy to work with the glue.
Not totally satisfied with the zombie skin tone, but that will have to do for now!
