    Looks incredible! Absolutely stunning! Brilliant colours and the cloak is fantastic.

    I was sceptical about the cloak but it has turned out really well, I'm working on a custom skink chief atm and I may steal your idea.

    I'm a bit sceptical about the huge pillar on the base... would ave used one about half as tall... personally...;)
    But the model itself looks great! Might also be a cool way to make some chameleon proxies/conversions... or even an oxyotl... :cool:
    Might be the second one stealing this idea! ;)
    Edit: @Bowser was quicker... so I'm the third in the row... ;)

    I was skeptical as well, glad i followed through with it though.

    I was having that same conversation with a friend of mine last night. I think its too tall as well, chalk it up to being my first time making anything of that sort :p, but i'm not sure how I could trim it down without making it look too square. Maybe if i cut out the middle rather than cutting off the top but then I run in to the problem of separating the base of the pillar from the pillar itself, I could always make a new one as well I suppose.

    You could halve it, and have two broken pillar bases.

    I got home today and decided that the base was too tall. So I chopped it down an inch or two. I have to say i'm super pleased with how round two turned out.

    Looks really amazing! Good decision on the base. Looks excellent! Now it doesn't look like he has to jump down 3meters through thin air, to hit the ratoger standing underneath it...
    Summed up in three words: badass!!! ;):cool:

    I like the moss and vine touch ups! Seriously amazing idea, and perfect execution.

    Great base and I really love the cape! It gives the model so much life!

    Love the realistic colors on the stone,
    an lot of people get this wrong and
    just paint all the rocks flat grey.

    "Hello, chaos scum." *gurgling noises* "Goodbye, chaos scum."
    But yeah, really good work. I was sceptical about a pink assassin, but it look better the more I look at it.

    I thought about doing something other than the pink, but I like to try and keep all my army of similar color scheme and my skinks are all pink at this point. Luckily pink and green work pretty well together so it still works, I did try to get him a bit darker than my Starpriest for example so that he at least looks a bit more at home in the shadows.

    Giant slaying Scar Vet on Carnosaur! Been lazily working on this guy for a while now, got the base this week to finish him off. I magnetized the Scar Vet's weapon hand so I can swap all the weapons out freely between him and my Old Blood on foot.
