    Doing this snowy cold thing with my Lizards because I’m kind of over deep blues, greens, reds and orange.

    Would love some thoughts on the color scheme!

    As an aside they are still WiP but the basic idea is there.

    I’m mostly okay with the Warrior, just can’t figure out what to do with the mounts!

    The saurus warrior does look good; wintery basing I hope? Is that baking-soda snow I see?

    Thanks! It is Woodland Scenics snow flock, pva, and even though it isn’t necessary white acrylic paint.

    Could never get baking soda to behave.

    The total indecision persists with this army, and here is an Engine of the Gods WiP!

    The scales are going to be glazed black a few times to bring it down a little, the howda will be brass and the base some mixture of snow and rock.

    I am really interested in trying out clear cast resin for some ice effects but want to buy a big ol tub if it and that gets a little expensive!

    The contrast between the brown skin and the white scales is pretty stark, but I like that paint scheme idea. Very unique.

    I admit I am not fully convinced by the Stonehorn yet, but I am curious to see where that conversion will go. :)

    Nice engineering going on here!
    On the steggy I'd recommend to extend the icey coloration a bit more... I imagine it would look even cooler if some of it would run over the skin in some way...

    This Thundertusk conversion is taking a lot longer than I thought it would!

    That's a lot of (greenstuff?) ropes there.

    Fishing line actually, yeah, it is borderline too much but it is keeping the rear platform up and the rock walls in place so figured there would be more than not.
