I liked the results of using the dip so much on my HO people, I decided to try it on some LNOE Zombies. This time I was a little more experienced with the dip method and was careful to remove the excess dip quickly by dabbing with a piece of tissue paper. The tissue paper worked nicely to wick away the extra dip, leaving just enough to help pick out the rich details of these minis.
There are 14 zombies included in the LNOE Basic Game, as well as 8 heroes. The zombies come in multiples of 3 different poses, with 4 women (all in the same pose), and 8 men. The men are in 2 pose groups, 4 standing with the right arm extended, and 6 with both arm extended away from their bodies.
I first spray primed all of the minis with a flat white primer from WalMart. Once dry I block painted them assembly line style with craft paints. And then went back over them with red brown and black over the wounds - a method I saw described on another blog, but I can't find the blog again to them credit. :( Sorry, whoever you are, it was a great method and I really like the results. As soon as I find you again I'll give you proper credit. :)
Here's some Pics.

I enjoyed painting these minis, and I thought the dip method worked well for them. Thanks for looking.

Nicely done, I still have some zombies to complete myself, dipping is the way to go with hundreds of figs for sure!
Thanks and thanks for posting, Slobberblood. I'm really liking this method now that I finally tried it.
