Painting - Modern Camo

I wanted to paint a few of the zombies in Zombicide as military personnel, and the modern camo set (pixelated grey or desert) was my goal.

I went with the following paint scheme:
  1. Rakarth Flesh - Base of Rakarth Flesh over black primer
  2. Dawnstone - Irregular stripes of Dawnstone
  3. Administratum Grey - Dabbed wherever it looked like there was too much of other colors
  4. Cleaned up to randomize the colors that looked to heavy in any single area.

For desert scheme I used:
  1. Rakarth Flesh - Base of Rakarth Flesh over black primer
  2. Mephiston Red - Irregular stripes of Mephiston (turned out too red, see below)
  3. Knarloc Green - Dabbed wherever it looked like there was too much of other colors
  4. 2 washes of Gryphonne Sepia, turns the Rakarth into a nice desert tan, and brings the colors closer together.
  5. Cleaned up to randomize the colors that looked to heavy in any single area.Tunrs out the Mephiston Red was too red. Went back over it with Snakebite Leather to tone it down, did more cleanup with Rakarth and hit it again with Sepia.

    Overall result was messier than I'd hoped, next go around will be with a warm brown color instead, maybe lighted Doombull or something. 

I also tried for a dress uniform look:
  1. Base of Green
  2. Highlight of Green mixed with Desert Yellow.
  3. Shade of Thraka Green.
  4. Shirt/Tie Graveyard Earth, lighten with Graveyard Earth mixed with Bone.
