Plague Zombies

I wasn't planning on painting any more zombies, but while I was making an order with Noble Knight at the end of August did some browsing and a pack of Copplestone Plague Zombies caught my eye.  Many zombie rules require some distinctive zombies and these would fit the bill. They are pretty disheveled with a lot of wounds, bite marks, and a bullet hole or two.  While I am working on some larger projects, I quickly slipped these into the painting queue.

As I mentioned, I wanted these to be visually distinct from my other zombies.  My friend Mike has been adding bricks to some of his bases recently and I liked the way they looked.  Since I don't have any ready-made, 3d-printed bricks, I cut up a piece of mdf from the leftover frame of a building and they were close enough for me when painted.

I painted the skin with GW rotted flesh, then applied a thin wash of AP Alien Purple.  This gives some detail to the skin, pools in the numerous wounds, and gives a bruised look to some areas.  I added a thin coat of Ral Partha Blood Red to the wounds to make them look more disgusting.  They were very quick to paint up.

I think the tall one with the long hair on the left resembles Neil from The Young Ones.

        

I really like the various wounds they have, these zombies aren't easy to kill.
