Blog Ritual's Army - Lizard on Lizard Action (For the Waaaaagh!)

Skinks...

Built



Based..



Sealed...



Now just waiting for those to dry and probably going to get started building the Warriors now.

 

Warriors waiting for their heads and spears!

 

Not a bad days work...







They're still mostly armless, but could be worse....

 

You're making speedy progress - I am always jealous of people with tables and table lamps sounds silly but most of my limited hobbying takes place on makeshift surfaces

 

Well this is a temporary spot too if it makes you feel any better, my computer is dismantled on the floor ready to move so I finally have a spot that isn't the kitchen table.

In our new house I'm getting a hobby/gaming/office room though so going to need to research a nice setup in a couple of months time!

 

Not to worry, your mighty collection of Slann more than makes up for your lack of a permanent workstation.

 

GW are sending me out a replacement box of skinks to replace the single deformed dude. I think I am going to use 20 of them to convert into Chameleon Skinks, and then the other 4 are going to be Carnosaur fodder...

 

I decided to make a spreadsheet to keep track of where I am and what I am going to do with all these boxes...

Any thoughts on the conversions I have listed there?

 

Oracle from the carno kit could be your starpriest. Chameleon skinks should be simple with a bit of green stuff.
Sunblood you may want to bulk up a warrior a bit, but the big shield from the carno kit would help out with that. Bit of a long shot but you could make use of the bastiladon parts the ark of sotek for the astrolith, like an umbrella that rains snakes. Or even some of the totems from the warriors and knights put together.

 

I like that plan. Thinking along the same lines... I'm planning on building everything I can and then seeing what I've got left over and going from there, I have a pile of bits left over already and I'm hardly even started yet.

 

Just finished building and basing 30 warriors, still 10 to do once the other start collecting kit arrives.

Letting them dry over night before sealing in the morning before work and hoping they dry properly by the time I'm home. Almost painting time!

 

Nice base model for a custom skink.

 

I've ordered some green stuff so I might just give that a go

 

Not sure why none of your pictures are working for me

EDIT: I can see them on instagram, for some reason they are showing up as the little black "x"s on the forum. But I can see them now, they look great! Nice crop of undead you have, I really enjoyed how you painted the skulls/roses on the stairs.

 

Could have been imgur having issues, they seem to be working at the moment...

 

I got the bases sealed this morning before heading off to work - so tonight I will crack out the airbrush and get them all primed.

Thinking a red prime, then I can tone the underside in orange and the top scales in a darker red. Not being accurate with it at all, I have been researching lizards and their colours and think this will look pretty cool.

I like that the red/orange will complement the green on the bases when I get to that.

Just need to decide what colour to paint the elite units - thinking maybe a purple or just much darker red, verging on black. I'll do some more research today.

 

Realized it was a computer issue. Swapped computers, the other one must have had crazy security settings, because this one works fine

Good luck painting the lizards!

 

I finished my test Skink this evening...









(All the others are primed, as are the warriors)

 

Looks great. I really like that colour. Great base and nice detailing on the shield.
