  1. thanks for all the input dear people, greatly appreciated. I also have oils and enamel effects at the ready. when I tried the first time, I applied before priming subtle earth and mudeffects from MIG and AK, and vallejo rust to create texture on their shoulders and upper back, and at their waists where they emerge from the ground, then primed it. painted the skin antioch skin, cloth beige ish. and then applied brown washes and enamel effects. but it turned out into a brown blob so to speak, also the texture lost a lot of details because of these steps. it really looked a mess and not in a good way. so that didnt work out. what I also found out while earth and mudeffects look great when they are used for that and on larger scale models, it did seem to be too big regarding scale for these undead. I thought about doing it with fine sand but mud doesnt look like fine sand in structure, so I am kind of at a loss there, maybe I should skip doing it on the shoulders and upper back, just at the base where they emerge from the ground. I will try it again with the tips you dear people gave me, thank you all
  2. what John Blanche did there comes very close to what I want, it's just a pity that the technique is not explained. nor what contrast paint was used (besides the mentioning of the snakebite leather one ) and he used contrast paint, the medium and GW shades. but not a clue which one
  3. Hello dear people, thanks you for the replies. really appreciate it . the thing is I want them to look like the corpses from that Poltergeist picture, so they are not ghosts. they are for a diorama, they come out from muddy graves so to speak. so they will not be on bases, they will be integrated into a diorama. thank you for that link Fulcanelli, def will check it out, hope there is something good there . cheers
  4. Dear people,I am busy with a project. in that I have some nighthaunt chainrasp models coming out of the ground/graves. but I want them to look really muddy and dirty like the ones from Poltergeist. I really have no idea how to do this. I have very little understanding of painting, glazing, washes etc etc imho, just consider me as a noob so to speak. so could someone please explain to me how to do this properly ? like what primer color, which colors to use, which ones as washes, glazes, what techniques to use etc. thanks a ton for thinking along !here is what I want the undead to look like color wise. : and these are the colors I have at my disposal, I also have AK grime effects and oil paints from AK as well
  5. Dear Reader(s),I am new here.started in the 70's by collecting and painting airfix soldiers and modelkits, later on tamiya etc.In 1984 I was introduced to the world of warhammer and AD&D, then the journey into fantasy models took off. I don't play, I try to collect and paint models from different companies.The painting is something I really struggle with a lot. And I hope that I will be able to learn how to improve here, and enjoy painting again.Because everything I try seems to go wrong, or really costs me a lot of trouble, which destroys the fun, and in the end I am still not happy with the results to say the least.I always tend to do things wrong. I have watched and read so many tutorials and tried them but it never works for me.I also really don't understand color theory and the like. I don't know how to properly paint a base color, shade and highlight. I always tend to overdo it or mess things up. my brains got screwed up due to an overdose of antidepressants and antipsychotics. so I don't understand things properly. all in all it's a bit of a mess and has made me depressed on the verge of tears often. so I will probably ask a lot of questions.Anyway, I hope I will enjoy my stay at this forum, I hope it will be a pleasant journey for all of us.
