This themed set from AK's Wargame Color range gives you a ready-made palette for sickly, undead flesh. The coordinated green-grey tones run from a base shade through to a highlight, so you can paint convincing zombie and walking-dead skin without mixing your own diseased hues.

They are water-based acrylics that brush on smoothly and dry matt, taking washes and glazes well when you want to add that final grimy touch. Explore more model paints to round out your palette.
