-Spray-on primer: (Necrotic Flesh) by ARMY PAINTER
-Paints (various base and layer colours) by CITADEL (see below)
-Quickshade dip (Strong Tone) by ARMY PAINTER
-Matt spray (Dullcote) by TESTORS
-Clear Red paint (X-27) by TAMIYA
-Brushes (Kolinsky Series 33 sizes 0, 1, 2, and 10/0, + Series768 size 10 ) by ROSEMARY AND CO.

Also: Mineral turpentine (white spirit in UK), superglue, craft knife.
By popular request, here are the paints* I used for the base colors for the five zombies in episode 1 that you can see in the final shot from left to right (also used as the title image) we have:
-Zombies 1 + 2: Macragge Blue for the suits, Ceramite White (or White Scar) white for the shirt.
-Zombie 3: Caledor Sky for the jeans, Averland Sunset for the shirt, Moot Green for the hair.
-Zombie 4: Baneblade Brown for the suite, Lothern Blue for the shirt.
-Zombie 5: Deamonette Hide for the shorts with Moot Green for the trim, white shirt and trainers.
-Zombie 6: Jokaero Orange for the jumpsuit.
(Also, for all of the non-runners I used Stormvermin Fur for their shoes)
*Please note, I actually used the older Citadel paint range that has since been replaced so the paints named are the nearest equivalent from the current range which should give you very similar, but not necessarily precisely the same tone. - Hry
Best. Tutorial. Ever.
Thank you :)
Exactly my thought!
I've been painting miniatures for over 10 years now and zombies are one of my favorite things to paint, but you sir have just used so much less effort than I could ever even imagine to produce results equal to (if not better than) my own.
the best tutorial I have ever watched. make more.
Thank you Andrew. A compliment from a fellow zombie painter means a lot :) I was also surprised by how such an easy method could produce such good results, which is why I felt it was worth sharing. There will be more to come...
I'm in the same position than andrew willis haha. I used to take 2-3 hours per zombie in the firsts Zombicides. Then I got disgusted because there were too many... I looked again at your tutorial recently, and painted the hole zombies from Black Plague in a shorter amount of time with better results. I just use a 50/50 mix of badab black/agrax earthshade washes from Games instead of Quickshade but the idea is the same. Thanks man, your video gave me the motivation to continue my zombicides :)
I have to say, the whole video, structure, cut, painting tipps are all together excelennt! 10/10 great job
suscribed
Thank you very much!
I just want to add my praise for the professional quality of the camera and editing work in all of your video's. The audio/voice over is excellent too.
Thank you very much Brian!
Though Sorastro has always been a wonderfully talented painter, it’s really fascinating to go back to his earliest video in 2020 to see how far both his skills and production value have come. Well done sir!
Indeed.
Wow... this is really the best instruction video I have seen so far on how to paint miniatures. Many many thanks, its all so structured and logic. And the results are really impressing, what a high quality.
Jens Brocksieper Thank you Jens! It seems like a long time ago when I made this (although it's not that long ago really) so it pleases me to know that people are still enjoying it :)
One of THE best tutorials I have ever watched!! well done sir. I am inspired!
Thank you! It always makes me happy to hear that my video has helped guide or inspire a fellow painter :)
Amazingly clear and concise tutorial. Great Job!
Wonderfull tutorial! One of the best I saw on the web. Thanks!
This video should have infinitely more views than it does. Thank you sir for this amazing guide.
Thank you sir :)
This is absolutely the finest miniature painting video I have seen. I can tell that lots of thought went into the production, and the result is outstanding. I would recommend this video to anyone learning the hobby, and I personally appreciate the simple steps/organization, visual examples (with before and after contrast), helpful tips (including fixing mishaps), and equipment list at the end. Very sophisticated execution. Thank you.
Thank you for the positive comments Jennifer. I'm glad you found it useful :)
This is great! It's good to see someone using quick shade as a wash instead of a dip, by far the best way to do it!
Thanks Donald - glad you liked it!
Just what Echtvergoldet says: Best tutorial for Zombicide minis around.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts/knowledge with us.
I used to paint D&D miniatures as a teen, but I was never able to achieve the level of detail the professionals did. Of course, back then, CZcams didn't exist so I had to wait 35+ years for your mad skillz to finally motivate me to pick the hobby back up. Even a poorly painted miniature is better than one fresh out of the box. Kudos to you, Sorastro!
Thanks a lot Tim! I also re-entered the hobby as a grown man and I have to say I enjoy it even more now than I did as a kid; I don't know if it's just having more patience, more skill perhaps - I'm not sure, but I'm glad the I never lost the childhood sense of wonder either :)
So THIS just happened - I went spelunking through OLD boxes of junk to dig out my old painting supplies and found a box of modeling paint...from 30+ years ago. If I could include a photo, I would. Yep, all dried. My son still has tubes of acrylic paint from his art classes. They are all Liquitex (59mL behemoths) which, from my research, is not a good option for miniatures. Thoughts?
Wow! I'm not a entirely surprised to hear your paints have dried up after 30 years :) regarding the acrylic paints - I've never actually tried painting minis with something like that so can't advise either way I'm afraid. Anyone else?
+Sorastro's Surprised that they're dried? No. Surprised that I still have them after all these years? Definitely. Painting While we're at it, do you prefer Army Painter's Quik Shade (used here) or GW's Nuln Oil Wash (used in your Stormtrooper video)?
Nuln Oil is a terrific all-purpose, off-black wash. The Quickshade produces arguably stronger contrast with very smooth transitions from dark to light but is more icky to use (requiring white spirit to clean) and turns everything quite brown-ish. It's also tricky to use with precision but is perfect for batch painting hoards of undead!
Thanks I just painted my set and it looks amazing. Must admit moments after applying the quick shade my hopes dropped thinking I totally messed the entire thing up...but after getting rid of the excess and letting them dry, I was flat amazed about the look of the little guys. Amazing! Thanks for the help again!
Thanks for sharing your progress! It makes me very happy to hear success stories like this :) It is a bit scary when you first put the Quickshade on and it all looks a bit of a mess, but - like you say - it's after they're dried and matte sprayed that the process really pays off. Grats anyway - enjoy the zombies!
Excellent, good, voice, speed of presentation, everything, very well written.
You hit the right spot with your video because this was exactly what I was lookin for.
After watching countless painting tutorials, I found that this one really breaks it down to the bases and makes it easy for a beginner to paint their Zombicide miniatures.
I´d love you to do tutorials on the specific Zombicide minis like the Fatties and the Abomination.
Thank you - I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful. I may well do a shorter video on a specific zombie type as you suggest. I actually paint the fatties in exactly the same way as I did the walkers + runner in the tutorial, so I might do an abomination as I like to give them some additional shading. I could also do a survivor or two.
The matte varnish spray idea is so bloody good! thanks for the video
+Daniil Koliesnikov Thank you Daniil! I'm glad you like it :)
Congratulations!
The most didactic painting tutorials i have ever seen. I can't imagine who can decide to give you a thumb down. People's mind is really a mistery.
Excellent video, just ordered my first batch of zombies, Can’t wait, TY For sharing
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
more,More,MORE! Amazing and easy to understand! Just finished ordering the supplies!! Cant wait to get started! YOU must more! its been 4 months.. Best painter by far, quit your job and do that full time! lol Good job and don't stop.
Thank you! Good luck with you zombies when you supplies arrive :)
Just wanted to add saying these are the best painting tutorials I've seen. Excellent, and make me even more excited to paint than I already was. Here's hoping for many more series to come. Subbed for sure.
M4EOzzy Thank you very much! I'll keep 'em coming :)
Excellent tutorial! i have just purchased all three additions of the game and this tutorial has inspired me to start painting the miniatures. thanks again for you efforts to make this video.
Thanks for the comments Paul. Good luck with your hoard!
Thank you! This has encouraged me to actually paint my zombies.
Awesome! Let us know how you get on :)
Thanks man. This video helped get me on the path of paint my Zombicide mini's. I ended up going with washes vs the stain, but, the results are pretty much the same. Man, I wish I could get my eyes like yours. The ol'aim isn't nearly as good. Thanks again. Great video.
This video (and ep.2) are great. As everyone else has said, it's really well put together and easy to follow. The music to match the theme of what's being painted was a nice touch. I would love to see more of these. I also plan to follow this guide pretty closely as I'm just getting back into painting (zombicide to boot). This video should have far more hits than some of the other tutorials I've seen.
Thank you very much for the kind words Ryan! I'm looking forward to painting some more zombies (or doing some survivors) maybe for Season 3, but definitely for Black Plague!
How is this the only video you've ever made? This is extremely well done and informative. I've read a few tutorials on Zombicide speed painting and this is by far the best due to the visualization of the steps. It's hard to believe these were basically speed painted as they look incredible and I'd be proud to table something half as good.
Very well done and here's to hoping you do some more painting videos in the future.
Thank you for the supportive comments Kevin. It does help motivate me to do more :)
This is exactly what I was looking for. This video is top notch!
Thank you! I'm glad to see this old video is still being useful :)
Starting painting my miniatures in a couple of weeks this video is awesome, showed me what i need to get and how to do it :)
Excellent! I'm glad this old video is still proving useful :)
Awesome production! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! You're welcome :)
Thank you a lot Sorastro for making this awesome tutorial!
I´ve been searching for a tutorial on how to paint the zombies, and almost gave up. And then I found this. This is really great looking, and seems to be fast and easy. I´m very confident, that I can paint my Zombies with this technique.
What I´d really love to see is a tutorial for the toxic, and the berserker zombies too.
Thanks for the comments FrozenFlesh :) I'm actually off work next week so plan on producing a toxic zombie painting tutorial with my extra time...
Thank you for your tutorial!!! Your methods of painting, and your video editing are absolutley GREAT!!!! I'm now subscribed!!! Keep these videos coming!!!!
+EsThirt33n Thanks so much! I'll keep doing my best 😀
I liked this a lot - exactly what I was looking for. Also, I first wrinkled my nose at the Quickshade, but you got me convinced and now I'll give it a try. :)
Thanks! I honestly wasn't expecting it to work as well as it has - good luck!
Your video was awesome! Finally someone who understands painting doesn't need to take a day per miniature! You NEED NEED NEED TO make a guide for painting survivors with your awesome techniques. Your videos were so helpful.
Thank you Jon! Such comments are really helping to motivate me to get on with some survivor videos :)
You really motivate passion in miniatures painting, and actually got me back into the game. But I don't want to dedicate time to wash techniques. No one focuses on the faster less technical aspects of quick shade, and I thank you for this!
Thanks for sharing this excellent painting tutorial, and better yet for choosing to actually paint Zombicide miniatures. I have been looking at The Army Painter Mega Paint Set to get started on painting my own Zombicide miniatures, and greatly appreciate your video.
You're very welcome. The Army Painter Mega Set does look nice! Good luck with those zombies :)
Returning to your videos after 5 years. Watching your videos helped me paint my sci minis. I'm back now with a hoard of zombie to paint. ❤
Ha ha, excellent! 😁
Seriously good tip about the blood mixture, as zombie blood would naturally be de-oxygenated, and therefore dark, almost black, and not bright red like arterial blood.
Many people make the mistake of overdoing the gore, spoiling the finished effect when they first start painting blood.
You show the right way to make a realistic look to the blood.
Again, even your starter videos can show older modelers new tips and techniques than most others.
All the very best
Paul :-)
Epic, I've been hesitant about painting the figures, but you sure did encourage me to do it asap!
Very easily explained, video-taped, and directed!
I'm already hooked up on your videos :D
Thank you, and "happy painting"..
Thanks (again) Enkido! I've been away on holiday so am just catching up with responding to comments.. and some painting :)
As a nervous first-time painter, these tutorials have taught me a lot. They have also taken a lot of the fear of screwing up my minis by showing each phase in simple, easy to understand steps. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot Brian! I really appreciate the feedback :)
this is an excellent easy tutorial, before the varnish i wasn't sure about the glossy effect, but that was a brilliant idea to toned it down. Kudos also for using old and new citadel paints like me. sometimes is hard to look at old guides and transfer it to the new colors.
Thanks Carlos! I love the moment that matte spray dries and you see how great the Quickshade looks :)
Outstanding job. They look amazing. I am picking up Zombicide Green Horde in a couple weeks. Can't wait to get started painting.
Thanks a lot Rob! I'm glad this old video is still bringing joy 😁
I really like the litko transparent bases shown at 10:39. Thank you very much for this awesome video!
+Giovanni Zotti Thank you Giovanni! Glad you like it :)
fantastic. This has been very helpful. cant wait to get started.
Thank you sir! Good luck with your horde!
This is awesome. Fantastic work sir! Thank you for sharing this.
Michael Breen Thank you Michael! I just wish there were more hours in the day so I could do some more zombie tutorials!
This video was awesome. I am looking to do the zombicide set myself and this was perfect. Hope to see more videos...was simple and easy to watch and great results.
Thank you Ron - glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your set!
I have about 100 mantic zombies to paint up for my new undead army. This video was absolutely perfect and exactly what i was looking for. As a fellow video maker i also appreciate the time and effort that has gone into making this video. Well done sir!! huge thank you
Thanks Utterly Spineless! I really appreciate that. You might also like my Black Plague zombie painting guide as it has some more skin tone ideas: czcams.com/video/LMOTmOchKyQ/video.html :)
Going back to where it all started this weekend and painting up some of my 2ed zombies!!!
Awesome buddy! My first ever video! It's pretty low budget, and I had no studio lighting, but it's interesting to see most of the fingerprints of my video-making style already in place.. 😁
Excellent video. I particularly appreciate your listing the products used at the end.
Thanks Geoffrey! I'm glad you liked it :)
Hands down the BEST zombie tutorial ever! You should be endorsed!! Lol. Thank you for doing such a professional vid. Your passion shows through👍🏻
Wow, thanks man! I really appreciate that, and I'm glad this old video is still bringing some joy 😁
Amazing tutorials ! I've watched all of the Zombicide Guides after I bought the game and it really gave me the desire to start painting myself :)
I should receive the Quickshade and other needed tools next week and I hope I'll get to your level of skill someday.
I'd really love to see videos on Green Horde if you get your hands on it !
Woow! What a video ! Brilliant in any way - Thank you !
Thank you Peter :)
I don't even have the game yet and I CAN'T WAIT to start painting!!! You did an OUTSTANDING JOB on those figures!!! Well done. You had me all the way up 'til you cut them off the bases. You do you Boo!!! LOL
Ha ha, thanks 😁
I didnt know about the anti-sheen spray! Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing. I got a good understanding on how to start painting even though I will be using latex paints clean up. I'll just have to play with the paints.
Thanks! I'm glad you found the video useful :)
What a great video. Enjoyed the musical touches. Nice tips re the zombies too. I have a horde of my own to get ready
+Steve Downing Thanks a lot Steve!
They look amazing! thanks for the video
Thanks MaximusPrime!
Oh, jeez. I watched one of the more current videos you showcased for LOTR and thought to myself “I could never do this”. Thankfully this is exactly what I needed to watch. Thank you so much for providing a great started tutorial!
Thank you! You might also like the first episode of the LOTR episode, which was also intended as a beginner-type introduction: czcams.com/video/TNn_Y758sVE/video.html 😀
Sorastro's Painting many thanks. I’m interested in starting up and these beginner vids have been a true boon. Doing a lot of research so I don’t over-invest in unnecessary supplies and the details you provide are of an immense help! 👍🏻
Awesome! That sounds sensible; initially just get the things you need to get going; you can then expand things like your paint collection gradually over time.. 🙂
Everything is awesome, the painting the Video!!!! I hope you do more!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you sir!
I want to thank you too! I bought the "Warpaints"-Zombicide sets for Zombies and Survivors and these colors work perfect! And with you guide, even a noob like me is able to produce really nice looking miniatures :) THX!
Gnatz09 Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you're zombies came out well :)
This is an awesome tutorial. Big thumbs up!
Wow thank you Nicole! I'm glad this old video is still being enjoyed 😁
Said it on another video, but your guides are so well done, and pleasant to watch! Really hope you will do one with Green horde or other things from Zombicide again. Really enjoyed watching that whole series.
Fantastic work with the tutorial, great quality on audio and video as well as great edit
Thank you!
Really nice job, including the painting and the video
Thank you very much! 😀
Thanks so much. I have been painting miniatures for many years but this is my first journey into the realm of the undead, and I wanted a technique that would tone down and make the figs look grim.
I also have to say that you did an excellent job of filming and narrating the process. Clean. simple, no rambling.
David Cashin Thank you very much David! I also don't like rambling :)
And I liked that you talked about and started a painting step but did not subject us to either 1) Watching the entire process or 2) fast fast forwarding through the painting. One is painfully slow, the other confusingly fast.
Omg! I was just looking for washing tutorials and found your video and I have to say that I'm amazed of what you've done here. I've been thinking about painting my Catan pieces and your video helped me and gave me some ideas of what to do. Great work man! Greetings from Chile ;)
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you found the video helpful :)
Perhaps you could paint Catan's pieces at one point hehe
The acrylic is very classy touch, amazing video man
Thanks a lot mate! It seems like a very long time ago when I made this, but I'm glad it's still being enjoyed :)
I needed to post it here, Thank you so much Sorastro's Painting!
This video inspired me to (Finally) start painting. And I used this Complete Guide.
I started trying out Army Painter and Citadel paint on the zombies. ( Nurgling Rot was a succes!)
And recently started painting Marvel Crisis Protocol.
For the time being I'll try out Contrast painting to build up some courage.
I can't wait to try using your Guides on Venom and Hulk.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that, and I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the hobby 😀
I been looking on various "how to paint" for weeks. Specifik Zombicide and Last Night on Earth, or just various about zombies. I homestylad think yours is hands e best of the all I have seen.
Clear instructions, love the step by step sections. Clear and nice sound so it is really easy to understand.
I hope you do more.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it easy to follow :)
Very well done, quick and interesting. Thanks!
Thank you Andrew!
love how you make this so easy thanks for showing me
+Mark Bailey Thanks Mark! You're very welcome :)
I haven't painted miniatures for about 13 years now, and pretty much gave up back then as I wasn't getting the results I wanted. Your videos (esp. this one) have inspired me to get back into it though, so thanks!
Thanks so much Tom! Welcome back to the dark arts :)
+Sorastro's Painting my wallet weeps...
Lol! Yeh.. There is that :)
Love your tutorials. And I'm really digging that quickshade. I may have to buy some. Beautiful work!
Thanks a lot! It's a bit of a pain to clean off but I do love the results Quickshade can produce :)
Very professional video. Congratulations for it!
Thank you Luiz! I'm glad you liked it :)
Brilliant video - thanks for sharing. I haven't painted anything since HeroQuest, but this has inspired me to have a go on the Zombicide minis. Cheers!
Thanks Kitobor :)
around 7 years ago this video made me start painting. thx u so much 😄
Ha ha, wonderful! I can't believe it's been 10 years since I made this.. 😁
I'm a total beginner, and I've already saw this video about 10 or more times because I'm afraid to do wrong with my minis... In Brazil we don't have the Citadel Paints or any Miniature like Zombicide or Warhammer to buy and paint, so it's hard to replace or acquire new minis... Great Videos, looking forward for new ones, maybe with the survivors ^^ Thanks for all the help!
Don't worry, Bruno; if you don't like the paint-job, you can always strip it down & start again! Still, I recommend you keep your first one the same. That way, you can compare your progress to it over time.
Wow, clear bases sure make it look great. Thanks for the video. I hope I'll be able to get some simmilar paints and coats.
Thank you sir - good luck with your Zs :)
Just picked up a zombicide game for friday night game night and decided that I wanted to try my hand at painting. So glad I found your video.
Awesome! I'm glad this video is still proving useful :)
excellent! fascinating paintings!!!
Thank you Renato! :)
excellent tutorial the zombies look well good I love how you painted them cheers
Thank you very much! I'm glad people are still enjoying this old video 😁
Very professional mate. Love the commentary see you back at the farm 2014!
Thanks John :)
great job!!! I can't wait to start mine!
+albert b Thank you Albert! :)
Very good video. Thanks for making this tutorial.
Thank you sir! Glad you like it :)
Brilliant video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it :) I'm most impressed.
Thank you Rosleen; Glad you liked it :)
Just managed to finish the first 100-ish zombies, and the result is brilliant :D
That's fantastic! I'm so pleased you've had success with your zombies :)
I have watched a lot of miniature painting tutorials, and can say hands down, these are by far the best! for once a quick in depth guide with colours used and brushes needed, even with a little tip such as using a spare brush to extract the paint and mix with to preserve your brushes (Never even thought about doing this)
Top job!
Thank you - glad you found them helpful :)
Just got into Zombicide and came across this video really inspiring you make it look really easy definitely going to give it a go thanks!
Thank you - go for it!
Wow! Great stuff.
+Rapp Scallion Thank you Rapp! You might also like this one: czcams.com/video/LMOTmOchKyQ/video.html :)
wow, those look incredible! very helpful!
Thank you Erik!
I´d be very thankful if you find the time to do more zombicide painting videos.
Got the feeling that people will be lookin for this stuff since Zombicide is a very popular game at the moment and rightfully so. However, i did not find any Zombicide specific painting videos aside from ppl showing off their painted figures. So this is your chance to shine man :)
Today I'm going to use Citadel's Blood for the Blood God on my miniatures to finish them. Thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial!
Nice :) You're welcome!
Hi Thomas! Sorry I can't reply to your comment directly as it seems you may have replies disabled? I'll answer you here instead: I've had quite a few requests for some more Zombicide videos. Whilst it looks like Fantasy Flight Games are going to keep me busy with their IA releases for a while I will try and squeeze out a fresh Zombicide video over the summer - either a hero video or perhaps the other zombie types. Looking at Episodes I and 2 I don't think there's anything I would do differently for painting large numbers of zombies, although for Black Plague I don't think I'll bother with the clear stands; although they look great, I find them just too fragile for storage/transportation.
Hi sorastros painting where u put these miniatures
Hi! At the moment they're taking up a whole shelf in my figure cabinet (you can see them in my channel update video) :)
+Sorastro's Painting sorry I meant where do you but them
+over Kill I MEAN BUY THEM
+Sorastro's Painting where do u buy them
Cracking tutorial. Much appreciated!
+Ross Nimmo Thanks Ross! I'm glad people are still enjoying my first ever tutorial :)
Fantastic Video, keep up the good work!
Thank you Steven.
This was an awesome tutorial, and answers a lot of questions I had about Army Painter Quickshade! I am looking forward to putting these techniques to use on my models! (Right now I am looking to paint up my Last Night on Earth before moving on to putting a little more love into Shadows of Brimstone!)
Nice one! Thanks for the comments Aaron.
I've always been a fan of your miniature painting, and this video takes the cake. Very high production value, and fantastic results. Thanks so much for outlining the details of your method, especially how you "refine" your Quickshade application. I've got a can of the stuff, but I've always been afraid of dark/sloppy results.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback; as a first-time CZcams-er the encouragement is most welcome. Well I hope you feel more confident about cracking that can open and giving it a go. Just remember it's not until you hit the figure with the matt spray that the results really show themselves. Best of luck!
Sorastro Curtis Delaney said "I've always been a fan of your miniature painting"
I only see one video on your youtube page. Do you have other videos somewhere I can watch? I really enjoyed this.
Vince Alvarez Thank you Vince. I only recently bought a DSLR capable of shooting video so this is actually my first ever upload. I really enjoyed making it so would like to make more.
Great channel and great vid so subbed. Glad I found it :)
Thank you sir!
those look great
Thanks :)
Thank you for this painting guide. It helped a lot. If you find the time, please show us how you painted your survivors.
***** Thanks for the comment Ivan! I will try and squeeze a survivor video in over the summer if poss! If not, you may have to wait for my Zombicide Black Plague coverage :)
great video well done. plan on trying this out!
+Darren Thompson Thanks a lot Darren!
Nice video, I have about 100 Mantic Zombies I use for Warhammer that need doing, I have the Necrotic Flesh Primer and Strong Dip, I just need to take the plunge and get them done. You video has given me the kick in the arse I need to get started. I'll be painting my Ghouls in a similar fashion too, but with a lighter drybrush over the Necrotic Flesh and a Flesh Shade wash to make them look more ghoulish than dead.
Sounds awesome Simon! Happy to know I've kicked some arses into action :)
