Zombtober 2019: Week One

Work has commenced on my horde of Caribbean zombies for the Last Days in Paradise. This is part of Zombtober 2019, the annual zombie-blog-fest where wargaming bloggers all over the world bring out their dead and paint their zombies and zombie survivors, aiming to complete at least one a week during October. 

I have painted eight so far (well I painted nine but I dropped one and it came off its base). I plan to have thirty done by the end of Zombtober. In the past I have painted my zeds a classic sickly green colour, but this year I thought I would go more 'flesh' coloured. This is mostly because I want at least half of my zeds to be afro-caribbean, so I wanted the caucasian zed's to contrast better. This is my first go at both skin colours.

Following a bit of research on the internet (watching Walking dead and the Thriller video) I decided that afro-caribbean zombies tend to turn a bit grey-brown after death/reanimation.
