So I'm going to document my painting and re-spawning of my lizard men. A brief history: I started warhammer 5th edition, playing lizardmen and having an innate feel for them against the snobby Bretonnians. It was hard in Ireland since there were 2 GWs at the time both a good 2 hours drive away from my 10 year old self. Still supported by my parents and with a local gaming club starting the Hobby flourished. With 6th edition and the revamping of fantasy I boxed up my old Lizardmen and re-spawned using the awesome new plastics. Metal terradons were still evil. I kept my old 'sailed' salamanders. Queue 7th edition and university. I didn't manage to play my lizardmen at all I think. Here comes 8th ed. Get kurb stomped by 2 anal power gamers, have a couple of ok games, not really into it. A few years later after getting married and moving I made friends with some RPG geeks who also played and I got firmly ensconced in 40k. Things and people move on and I ended up helping to found a wargaming club where decent people play fantasy. Lizardmen were getting an update and the rest is history - I got the special edition book and gor-rok, sold my old terradons and hybrid cold-one riders and old metal stegadon, I did a massive order to update my army and adding to what I have now I have this to get through: Slann Gor Rok Chakax* Tetto'eko* (palanquin skink dude) Tenenhauin* 4-6 Skink Shaman 3 Skink Chiefs Oldblood Oldblood BSB Oldblood w/ Carnosaur 20 Saurus w/HW+Shield† 20 Saurus w/HW+Shield† 20 Saurus w/ Spear 24 Skink Skirmishers w/Blowpipes (usually 2x 12)† 30 Skink Skirmishes w/ Javelin, HW+Shield (usually 2x15)† 22 Skink Warriors + 2 Kroxigor (Javelins HW + Sheids) 8 Jungle Swarms 6 Kroxigor 2 Stegadons w/ Giant Bow 2 Bastilidons w/ Solar Engine 6 Chameleon Skinks 6 Terradons w/ Fireleech bolas 20 Temple guard Ancient Stegadon w/Engine of the Gods Troglodon 4 Salamander Packs *=conversions, †=need to strip+repaint So I recently finished assembly, applying sand to the bases and priming. So I've started painting and here they are: Gor-Rok - first new LM mini I've painted Not quite finished being painted -Tekko'eko : WIP Stuff Chakax: Cohort (spaces for Kroxies) : Cloak Shaman: Troggy: Slann: Teninhuain:
That's a very impressive Gor-rok, makes me think I should buy my own Gor-rok--No Scalenex, no more purchases until you finish your 100 WIPs!
Thanks, I really like him. He's a cool mini, not too bad for finecast and cool in game Here's the latest: Carnosaur and Troglodon done, just need to do the riders. Also WIP Kroxigor
