Leon's random painted stuff

[Tzarinchilla]

Superb work and a nice collection of zombies. Are you planning to use them in any poarticular game or are you just painting them because they look really cool?

[leonmallett]

Cheers.

Kind of used them already, but the rest will be painted because I quite fancy a zombie horde. Weirdly I enjoy painting the zombie flesh recipe I use.

Weirdly I enjoy painting the zombie flesh recipe I use.

Any nerd who claims he doesn't is a terrible, terrible liar. Yes, it is disturbing, but we all have to admit to the deviancy inside us.

[leonmallett]

Guilty as charged!

can we has said zombie recipe please?

[leonmallett]

Glad to.

They are painted with my usual recipe of Vallejo Green-Grey as a base skin tone, highlighted with increasing addition of Vallejo Basic Skin Tone (ratios are 2:1, then 1:1, then 1:2 in successive thinned layers). The skin is then washed in recesses with thinned down Devlan Mud (GW).

Thanks for the recipe!
Zombies are fun. Andre the Giant zombie? Oo...

Another zed:

A new Zed - painted for nothing in particular, although he may feature in some Weird World War II or pulp-style gaming at some point I guess:

[juicytomatoes]

Black is not easy to paint right, but you've done it really well on what is a really nice model. Keep 'em comin!

[leonmallett]

Cheers. Expect more randomness ahead; modern military influenced; kore zeds; maybe more supers; who knows?

[leonmallett]

Whew - it HAS been a while...

Now for my first zed in a while (from Tengu):

[Tzarinchilla]

You have the best zombies I have seen painted. All painted well and a great choice of mini's as well.

[leonmallett]

Thanks Tzarinchilla. Really kind words.

I'm still pretty slow though...

[leonmallett]

And something else recently finished:

[juicytomatoes]

Oo I remember that guy. It's the guy who keeps saying 'Mr. Anderson...', also the guy who said,"The light of the eldar is fading...".

Love the way you hightlight black.

I also have to echo Tzarinchilla's praise about the choice of zombies. The latest one is absolutely grotesque (meant in a good way).

[leonmallett]

Thanks very much Mr Tomatoes.

With my black, it is not actually black! It is in fact Vallejo Dark Sea Blue (a kind of very dark turquoise), which I highlight by mixing in Vallejo Stone Grey, and final highlights of Medium Sea Grey. I then carefully use first Devlan Mud to wash into creases, and finally a little Badab Black to wash into the deepest creases.

A different tangent now - Anima Tactics.

In the past couple of months I have been paining minis for Anima Tactics, hoping to get some games in this year.

I have been blogging about my progress (here; click for link), but momentum was a long time coming, yet I seem to have some now.

Anyway, here are my first offerings:
