So I've been playing the ol' Lizardmen for quite some time now, ever since the their oldest book. Since new models have been coming out and my reptiles need some more flare I thought I'd create some new units. Here they are: Hope you enjoy these pics as much as I enjoyed painting them. {Next to the unit name is the year I painted them.} Saurus. (WIP) {09} Need to highlight the scales and give them shields. Moztek on Carnosaur. {09} Comments are always welcome. In the near future I'll be posting up the rest of my army.
The black and green on the saurus works really well together, great choice of colours. They look great. The old blood is pretty cool too, the carnosaur looks like it is missing something. Maybe a bit more subtle blending between red and brown, or maybe red at the tail end as well. It still looks pretty cool. That pale white crocodile (alligator?) is rather peculiar, I have never seen one like that before.
That's some skill right there.. The drum of the Musician is sweet.. jaguar print, nice job. Chakax head on the old blood looks nice, also the blade of the weapon.. It's from reaper models right? I kinda agree with strewart on the carnosaur.. but it looks great anyways.. Good Job!
stewart: Missing something? Yeah, I actually thought so myself. I'm not sure what to add on it. Maybe some warpaint to brighten it up? If you have any suggestions I'm all ears. WheelR: Yeah, the weapon blade is from reaper. From the Reptus series.
Depends on how much you want to mess around with it... Making the feet, 'hands' and maybe part of the tail the same red as the head will probably maky it look more complete. Would be a bit of work though, especially when it still does look cool as it is. @WheelR, wow I didn't even notice the jaguar print drum the first time. Looks great, slannfrog.
So I added a little warpaint to the Carnosaur. I wanted to go for the American Indian warhorse affect. For my soon to be Razordon.... "Pink Monkey of Doom!"
Yeah thats pretty awesome work with the warpaint. Good work. What is this monkey thing? A razordon that shoots poo instead of razors? A poodon?
strewart: The monkey is going to be my "Pink Monkey of Doom!" I'm not a big fan of the razordon models so I decided to make my own. His ammo is foliage, rocks, and feces. Here he is... I chose to add a long tail to make him look more monkey-like. Made his belly large to show that he got fed a big meal before battle (for his ammo).
Now you mention it.. why don't we have monkey's to use? Not everything has to be dinosaur... I do think his tail is a little bit higher than it should be.. But i love the belly. Nice one!
WheelR: What do you mean about the tail being high? Here are some shots from my army... jungle swarms Kroxigors EOTG I've got to many skink priests but here are my favs Scar-Vet w/GW Oldblood My finished Scar-Vet BSB Slann WIP Scar-Vet Suggestions and comments are always welcome.
The tail looks like it comes a bit high out of his back.. higher than most animals got.. now im not an expert on monkey's ofcourse.. but it looks a little odd.. Damn you are creative.. I love the skulls on the kroxigors.. the middle one reminds me of something.. but don't know what. The first skink looks funny also the swarms are rather cute. Good Job i say!
Found time to finish my Scar-Veteran on a cold-one. Here's a skink hero I've been working on. I gave him a spear and shield. The terradon body is from 5th edition and the head is from an extra cold-one with a green-stuffed crest/beak. Landed upon these two Mayan deities @ Petco the other day. I want to incorporate them into my army but I can't think of anyway to use them. Definitely not going to use them as terrain. What do you guys think? Shout out some ideas.
All I can think of for them is terrain, not sure they could really count as anything. Scar vet looks great, and that is a really cool idea for the terradon head. It looks a tiny bit out of proportion from the pic so far, but I will reserve judgement until I see it painted.
Use the statues as unit filler. If you have any very large units of Saurus just put the totems in the back corner on a 50 mm square base and say it "counts as" 4 saurus.
I'm reaching here, but they might make a pretty cool looking Engine of the Gods. Or do they dwarf the Stegadon? Maybe remove the square base from the left one and replace the back section of the howda with it? Otherwise... I really cant think of anything that would be appropriate with the current army list.
I say put a stick under them and give them to yer skink chief as BSB! On a less serious note.. I think the only thing you can work with it as Scenery.. But you will come up with something i think.. you are creative enough to do so. I like the shield your scar vet is wearing. Where does one get the skaven pelt? I've seen it on a couple of scar vet on CO's but i'd rather use it on a skink.. since it is after all a skink item.
