Something wicked this way comes...

I know some of you are trying to dip. Here is something I wrote up for Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum for my Mordheim Undead Warband.

Here are step by step instructions on how I painted my ghould using the dip method. These 4 ghouls took less than 20 minutes to paint, then after dipping I let them dry overnight before hitting with a matte spray. In fact it would have been quicker per model if I did a larger batch as I had to wait for the paint to dry.

Here are the ghouls and zombies after being assembled. I put the gravel/flock mix on before priming. I will do the zombie tutorial later as I used a brown primer on them.

Here are the ghouls after being primed along with the paints used. Notice my ultra fine sharpie pen. Works gret for eyeballs and any freehand work.

Ghouls being basecoated with Rotting Flesh and the bases painted with a watered down generic black paint. I think AP has a Rotting Flesh primer if you want to skip painting it on.

Hair was painted with the dark grey foundation paint adeptus grey (i think)

Bones, teeth and eyeballs were painted skull white. Eyes dotted using Sharpie Pen.

Straps painted Desert Yellow (which I really like when using the stain)

Chain painted grey, then Boltgun Metal

Then AP Strong Tone was brushed onto the ghouls. I use a thin coat, as anymore just pools up.

Ghouls were then based and hit with a Matte Spray. Photos were taken outdoors in natural light which shows all flaws.
