Greetings!
I've been actually playing lizardmen since they had the 7th ed armybook, but just recently I got into making a proper army - fortunately my community includes a decent amount of different players and armies of WHFB. So I decided to enter the setting and the system which still lives in our club.
Firstly I would like to rant a little bit about the style and the miniatures of lizardmen. Although I adore all the big dinosaurus and monsters (apart from salamanders and razordons), all the saurus types look outdated for me. So I decided to convert some of my own. I also came up with a bit different style, diviating from the original aztec/maya lizards and moving towards something more of generalized ancient culture (Disney "Atlantis: the Lost Empire" would be a great comparison).
As for the explanation of why my army would differ from the classic models in both model range and details I came up with the idea that my lizardmen originate from the South Lands (different already) and have moved to the Land of Trolls far up north right after the Age of Strife (this is the land where almost every army in my community operates in/originates from) to protect some divine places of the Old Ones (including some damaged spawning pools which spawn altered sauri).
But enough of the rant, let's get to the miniatures, shall we?
My first unit of skirmishers:
The second one:
one skink a bit closer:
...and one is painted already to test the color scheme!
Finally, what I came up with regarding my saurus:
I will have at least 25 of those.
Anyways, thank you for stoping by. I'm a really slow hobbyst, and I'd like to assemble and paint a fully converted force of lizardmen, so expect this thread to be really slow on updates. I will post something new soon enough though.
Cheers!

but there is always at least some to convert and paint I think.
it is the best and the fastest ways to paint though I recommend using some times to get a quick and nice finish.
