Painting- Update, Lizardmen

Hello Folks,

Hope your doing ok with the apocalypse.

Got some more painting  done, not being allowed outside really helps get things done. Still having fun with painting Lizards, really got a good string going on big besties.

Skinks:


First up more of the little guys. This time with blow pipes for variety. Not a huge fan of this weapon as they are a bit to long and some are a but awkward.

Kroxigor:


Then some medium size guys, big crocodile  guys to back up their little buddies.

Stegadon:


Big old triceratops guy. This model looks pretty great but was a huge pain. I picked up this old metal guy at fall in and it weights a ton and was a pain to assemble. Turned out ok in the end thou.

Carnosaur:


Last up the biggest best of them all, the dreaded Carnosaur. Thus us a new plastic kit, so was super easy to assemble. I used a quick tip guide from Miniwargaming, using contrast paints. Worked out very well.

Only 2 complaints I have is that the head is a bit small, and the big stone throne is a bit big. Still great thou.

So that's all I have for now, but still more t8 come. Mainly allot of cav but some other stuff as well.

Of course heres a army shot of the current progress.


And the full lot so far.

Painting Update- Lizards

Hello Folks,

Getting  lots of painting done during the plague. Still have to work from home, but save time from the bus and not allowed to go anywhere on the weekends. But got knocked off the posting sechedule so havent gotten around to Cold Wars part 2. However I am pretty excited to get this up so here we are!

Big buy for me at Cold Wars were a few lizardmen kits, most notably the start collecting Skinks box. I have decided t8 base fir Warhamnee Fantasy, but have it in mind to also play Age of Sigmar, and Saga Age of Magic.

Fantasy armies are all the rage right now.

Skinks:


Starting small with a bunch of skink skirmishes. Went with javelins as I thought they look cool with shields.

Skink Priest:


Then you of course need a wizard to boss them around. He has a special textured base so I decided to skip the normal thin base.

Terradon Riders:


Cant forget the Skink Air Force of course. So we have some teradyctls to drop rocks on people/carry them off whatever comes up.

Bastilidon:


Finally due to their small size the Skinks of course want their giant scaly fried to come along. Complete with a magic beam crystal on top. Just makes sense.

Start Collecting:


So there is the start of a collection of Lizards. Everyone enjoys dinosaurs and bright colors. Made very easy actually with the new contrast paints.

Have more stuff to do of course, probably will do  a mix of Elves and Lizards based on what ever strikes my fancy that week. Plus maybe more besides. I figure during the Apocalypse it's based to follow your heart so not really any plan here.


Osgiliath:


Also got a couple of bits of terrain done, intended for my Camgames game. Although I have pretty much given up hope on that happening, so really cut the motivation to work on it.

Hopefully everyone out there is staying safe, hope to see lots of blog posts these days. Need t8 make up for the lack if gaming!
