I was not completely satisfied with any of these. I was going for some ooze or nasty green stuff that the zombies would be slogging through that would look as nasty and grotesque as they were. The bottom right and left were the most promising. Both were created with green, Death World Forest, mixed with regular glue. Krazy glue was then added to the top. The one on the left had rocks added and painted which was cool in some ways, but not the look I was going for. In the end, I decided to go with doing big drops of Krazy glue on the paint glue mix, wait about 5 minutes and then put Krazy glue on the rest of the base with a toothpick to avoid more circles that come from using big drops.
Once it had all dried, I added a green wash, Athonian Camoshade, inside of the circles to create a dried out organic looking nasty thing on the ground. The rest of the base was covered with Nurgle's Rot to give it a slimy and oozy layer. I think it turned out pretty good. The bases were finished with black around the edges.
For the champions, I did mostly the same thing, but I put them on pieces of cork to represent rocks. They were primed black, painted Skrag Brown, drybrushed Nurgling Green, and a light layer of Typhus Corrosion before covering the feet and tops with more Nurgle's Rot.
Let me know your thoughts. These guys took a long time from assembly to finish for models that die quickly...but it was fun and I think I learned a lot in the process.
Here is a series of images through several steps of the same model.
