    Hello everybody!
    I am quite new on Lustria-online, and so with lizards, but I just fell with love in them and it has to be my army in WFB ;)
    I'll post here my works so everyone can say something about it. I have some experience in painting, but I am no master, so every comment is valuable ;) Here we go:
    My quite first skinks

    Finished bases, I just need to cover them with black, for similar look ;)

    And here it is my big frog, I need to do a final touches, but is almost finished

    Skinks are in different colors, becouse i still dont know the color scheme for my army... :(
    And english is not my mother's tongue so I am sorry for my mistakes :)
    Hope you like it!

    The blue skinks look really polished but there's something about an original paint scheme like that pink and teal that I love!

    I like the pink skink too, but I realized that lizardmen army must spread fear among the enemy and I think that a horde of pink warriors is not suitable for that function ;) For now I want to finish 10 of those blue skinks. When I do it I'll post a pic and think about that color.
    For now I know that I'll be trying to convert my army for ninja/samurai look. It will be hard but maybe I'll sculpt something nice ;)

    Thx for kind words! It is really motivating! :) Right now I do not have much time, but I think that I will start some serious work next week. For now I stay with blue color scheme. I will add some flavour to it but I want it to be something really cool, so right now I just thing about things that might look good ;) My goal for know it to paint next 8 skinks. See you then!

    Too bad the pink skink got ditched! I too really like an original painting scheme and that pink skink looks gorgeous if you ask me.

    Ok, I think I have to reconsider it ;) This scheme is cool, and I was about to paint an army like that but I never liked pink and that's why I've chosen regular blue ;)

    I like the blue scheme, but i might be biased since i use a blue scheme with red backs as well...

    It still not completely the same as the book, and ours are different in that i only do the centerline of the scales and give them a red crest.

    They're still unqiue, even though some of the colors used are from the "standard" selection - so i'd keep going with what you like. I am mostly a fan of your blue ones :)

    And later we will see what is going to be :D

    My 10 blue skinks are almost finished but in a meantime I've done a little conversion.
    I want my army to look a little Japanese and this is my first result.

    I think that I will and something here but for now I don't have any ideas, maybe you could help? And what do you think of it? :)

    That spear/javelin thing looks really good. I have a soft spot for the little skink buggers too, so i really love to see original skink convertions. You could make the weapon even longer, stretching behind the skink. I think that would look pretty sweet.

    The Japanese theme seems like a real and fun challage! My first thought landed on the Dynasty Warriors video game franchise if you're looking for some sweet weapon convertion ideas.

    The stegadon has some bamboo-ish parts but other than that I'm pretty short on ideas for the jap theme. I haven't convertet anything myself yet, even though I have a couple of ideas, so I am no expert on the subject.

    Thx for hint with Dynasty Warriors! I have some ideas of my own but I'll share them when I finish sculpting/converting. And you pointed that this weapon could be a little longer, I had same thoughts while converting but I decided that this one could do for a javelin/spear AND hand weapon ^^ The longer one couldn't repleace HW ;)

    And if we are talking about skink conversions I have a plan to make a special ninja skink squad ;)
