That's a Zed of a Different Color
I got these at a Black Friday Sale at
Games and Stuff,
my FL(enough)GS. They have a pretty good BF deal - early access tickets on Fri, Sat, and Sun for RPG, Minis, and Board Game sale days. The early access tickets get you a swag bag with MSRP greater than the cost of the ticket. I've only done it a few times myself, but the swag is always awesome. DOM got the board game day one, so we sifted through the remaining minis at regular opening.
Both of these were a Zombiecide set, priced at just under $1 per mini, not counting the bonus store discounts, etc. The terracotta warriors can do double duty as forces, or just terrain.
These guys work as zeds, aliens, demonic martial artists, etc. By dynamic mixing my paint on these, I got a uniform feel with lots of different actual skin tone and clothing colors.
This is just three different flesh colors for the zeds above. They had a base color of blood red. for each figure, I grabbed a dab of each, mixed it on my paint table, then applied it to the figure. So you get a wide variety because you will not pick up the exact same ratios every time. Plus I mix it into the paint I just used, which is similar to boxing paint - it gives you a slow migration of colors instead of just different mixes.
Then the same thing with white, grey, and black for the clothes.
