Way back when I barely knew anything about the gaming hobby at all, there was this picture on page 32 of WEG's Star Wars Miniatures Battles. Black and white, with a typical medieval fantasy round stone, thatched cottage in the background, it showed a bunch of DnD lizardman models and stormtroopers. The enigmatic caption read "A squad of Annointed People advances into combat with invading stormtroopers for the greater glory of the Godking of Masterhome." Wtf? To a kid living in the countryside in the 90's, it was the weirdest thing ever. I had to know more, but alas, sources of info were scarce back then and where I lived. It got me hooked and I have always had an interest for lizardman minis since.
I recently made an ok round thatched cottage, made a sock mold of it. The original was broken in the process but I can now churn out a whole village in plaster of paris if I want. I have now discovered modern casters selling those exact lizardmen from the mysterious picture. Just got to liquidate some spare models to make room for them. I am thinking I'll paint 20 or so, then see about converting some riding on dinosaurs. Maybe try to hunt up reptillian archers that look "right" with them too.
