The official Malifaux set for undead skin – six shades from bloodless pallor to a dark violet in the recesses. It is exactly the combination that turns a figure into a corpse rather than just a pale person: absent warmth plus cold shadows.

What makes undead skin different from pale skin?
Absent warmth. Living pale skin has a pink cast on cheeks, ears and fingers; dead skin has none anywhere. That is what decides it – not how dark the shadows are.
Are the colours usable outside Malifaux?
Yes, they are ordinary Ionic shades under game names. They work on any undead figure.
How do I thin these paints?
With water or an Ionic thinner. They are self-hydrating, so they stay workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop for brush work, roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.
Is the set better value than single jars?
If you need at least half the shades, yes – the set costs less than the same number of individual jars. If you are missing only two, buy them separately in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
The other sets are in the Ionic sets category.
