    Its all good! I look at stuff I painted even a week or two ago and notice things I wish I did differently. Its a good thing, it means you're improving!

    Thanks, I defiantly see what you mean about the paint on the stegadon and skink arms, I painted the stegadon when I was newer to the hobby. It’s not to much of an issue though as I planned to come back to the stegadon and do a wash and maybe a highlight on the places were it’s necessary, I also want to add a small hexoatl symbol on its back ( as all my models have a faction symbol, stegadon=hexoatl,bastiladon=itza,skinks=Itza) and do a bit of clean up where the wash has pooled on his horns. The main reason the skinks coat is quite thick Is due to the fact I am painting over a layer I did when I didn’t have as much experience this won’t be a problem for the other half of the skinks as they weren’t done.

    magnetized slann, magnets connect to stegadon

    pieces:

    engine of the gods back plate

    sun blood mace

    Alrighty, I have finished the green scales on the shield, although I'm still not sure about the Itza symbol :

    hypothetically speaking, Imagine of all the second generation slann got together and brought like 500 revefication crystals with them to some holy site such a Gwakmol crater and had some kroxigors bring lord kroaks remains to the center and all of them enacted a great ritual bring him back to life, that would be pretty cool.

    Or. if a lone skink was in the vault of itza and under some weird circumstances found himself lost and at a vault door. as he manages to figure out the code and it opens revealing loads of unexplored passages and in a small chamber at the end of the corridor lies a first generation slann in a deathly state of meditation and he is like the sole reason the great vortex is still going. - either of these stories would be the back story for the slann/lord kroak leading my army

    IMG_0053.jpeg Already got the next two skinks planned :p this these two will get me up to 8
    I'm going to experiment with the water effects a bit more on the first one, although I might not even get these guys done until Sunday as the bases I ordered are coming tomorrow and I might want to do some of them. ->( see what I mean about some already having a base coat that I go over)

    The way I did my water effects was to paint it blue and then give it several coats of varnish so it has a ‘sheen’ to it. I don’t know if that will work for yours?

    A nice technique but I Ordered this swampy water effects thing its kinda like a gel that drys nice and clean. talking
    about orders my stuff just arrived! IMG_3796.jpeg :D I got some mushrooms which will add a lot of variation to the swamp bases and it also means I don't have to use as many ferns
