how to paint necrotic fleshWelcome to the rst tablet optimized painting instructional from

Today, we are going to learn how to paint simple necrotic esh

for use with any sort of undead miniatures such as zombies, esh

golems, or in this case Necromutants from Prince August.

Now before we begin, make sure that you remove all the ash and

mold lines from your model. Please be careful when using the model

knife and scrape away from yourself. As far as undercoat goes, for

this particular instructional I went with a black undercoat. I think for

this one I used Citadel Black Primer, but Ive also had really good

results with Testors Flat Black Spray paint.

Paint colors needed:

Ceramcoat Sandstone (P3 Jack Bone works ne as well)

Ceramcoat Charcoal Gray (any dark gray will do)

Cermcoat Seminole Green (Gretchin Green works nicely as well)

The model was then coated with a mixture of 40% Ceramcoat

Sandstone, 20% Ceramcoat Charcoal Grey, and 20% Ceram-

coat Seminole Green. If you are using Reaper Master Paints, the

Unblooded Flesh Triad is perfect for this. You can also use Citadel

Rotting Flesh mixed with a touch of Scorched Brown.

At this point, I have washed over the esh areas with Reaper

Brown Ink mixed with Ceramcoat Burnt Umber. I always suggest

adding a drop of ow improver in order to insure that your wash

stays put. If you are feeling really adventurous, a very small amount

of Future Floor Sealer can also really help your wash stay in place ...

just make sure you dont use too much.

At this step, I have gone and picked out the raised areas with the mix-

ture I used earlier to basecoat. To make this technique work, you want

to avoid getting paint into the deepest recesses (contours of the muscles,

the deeper furrows on the face). What this will do is set up the shading

to give you softer more life-like shading on your musclature.

Once that dried, I added more Ceramcoat Sand Stone to the mix-

ture, this time hitting the high points and making sure to not get

paint into the shallow recesses. Those would be areas such as the

muscle contour on the forearm, the shallow furrows along his check

line and areas like that.

Step Four sees us doing a light glaze to the eshy areas using a

very watery mixture of Ceramcoat Burnt Umber mixed with a touch

of Ceramcoat Seminole Green. Yes, Green. Nothing says rot and

decay like a slight tint of green on the eshtone.

The nal stage mainly sees a highlighting of raised areas with

pure Sandstone. From here you can also drybrush with a lighter

color as well.
