The rest of the thread is a mess thanks to charging Photobucket, I'll fix it eventually. Thanks for viewing!

Original thread start, view my progression if you want.

I'm new to figure painting, and I'm enjoying it so far, even though it takes awhile. Here's my first reanimates, more to come in the future.

The base still needs work

Looks like your primer got a little grainey on ya. Also, and this is just my OCD hobbyist talking them flash lines... Other than that looks good

I used a spray primer(never tried priming before lol), so that might be where the grain came from. Curious if I'd be better off with a brush on primer. Thanks for the input!

Chances are you were holding it too far away (relative to the temp outside) some of the paint dries before it reaches the model

Spray primers are fickle, but sadly unless you got an airbrush theyre the best ya got. Its easy to either be too far and they grain up the texture or too close and it gums up the detail.

I think that may be my problem, I've been scared of getting too close and staying well out of 12" away. At least the undead are supposed to look dirty lol. Hopefully have my technique down before I get to the big pieces and the humans.

10-14" is usually fine, further than 14 pretty much guarantees it will be a little grainy, closer than 10" you might overcoat it and fill the grooves up.

Usually i hold it about 10" apart and ONLY pass over the model, never start spraying pointed at it. The initial burst is usually ugly. The main trick is figuring out how fast to pass over it, and i cant really explain that one in words.

Finally got one full tray painted

Great work Jukey! Very impressive for a beginner. Loving the gore...

Looking awesome man, these have a great undead horde vibe

Two archers done and starting a test on some infernal ground.

One full tray done. Now to duplicate..

Oh my! Foliage on the shield. That's... brilliant! Inspiring even!
I haven't encountered this before. It gave me new ideas.

PS: I also like the savage bloody look. It gives an effective horror vibe.

Thank you! I wanted a few to look like they were raised from the ground recently. Hopefully it doesn't rub off too easy.

Neither of these are done but it's been awhile since I did an update.

heres my carrion lancer inspired by purple worms from d&d.

and Ardus

Reanimates are finally based and highlighted!

Lancer done and based.

Sorry for the low grade pictures

It is oozing blight!

Trays still need finishing but bowstrings on archers yay!

Two cores done

Freshly base coated and washed.

I really like this color scheme!

What do you use on the other models for the cobble textures on the bases?

Now that I've done a multi-color horde I plan on sticking to red with black accents and gold, or black with red accents and silver(I get bored of repeating the same scheme).

The bases are made with eggshells and elmers glue. It's a very time consuming process but I'm happy with the swampy result. Also, the paint has to be layered, white, more white, bright green, more white, yellow, rock drybrushing, yellow wash, green shade, brown technical, and yellow highlights. Getting faster the more I do it in blocks.

Ignore this post

Infantry upgrades finished!
