Re: Caprasauridae's Lizardmen (New Salamander WIP pictures!)
So I got around to finish the Salamanders. They got some extra attention to the bases and I'm quite satisfied with them. Though I did fumble the first time I tried to paint the dorsal fins and had to repaint them (after couple of hours of painting, I was in exactly the same point where I started from, ugh). After doing the base paint again, I decided to just go with a bit brighter highlights. I don't know if you can actually see them in the pictures, but they give some definition to the fins. Well, you can judge yourselves. Here they are:
I decided to try to make the bases all pretty and thought of adding the snake trio from Cold One Cavalry kit into the fray. With the snakes I tried a bit different technique from my usual and I'm very happy with the result, even though it's not nearly as precise as Dancing With Saurus', for example. Still, it's a promising start, I think!
On her other flank, she has some grassy areas and a skull of a former prey, maybe?
The male one got much more traditional base, but it was fun to make!
And finally an aerial shot to give a better overall view to the bases:
All in all, I really like these two creatures. I got to try new things while painting them and the results weren't horrendous, at least not in my mind. And I'm starting to get into basing! Still, have a long way to go, but at least it's not making me cringe anymore.
Next, I'll start painting more Saurus Warriors and Skinks. I'd love to move on to Terradons, but I need more flesh to my army to be able to play a decent sized games. I'll post pictures of finished units or if I stray into new projects or manage to accomplish something noteworthy, but it is likely that the next update will not come anytime soon. I'd still love to hear your opinions and comments of the progress so far. They make updating and even painting worthwhile!
