Hi,

I've lurking on this forum from a while and I finally decide to go for my new army in Ninth Age, and it will be Saurus Ancient.
I collect since the beginning of the year used saurus from different sources, ebay, and "le bon coin" a French kind of "Graig List".
I've put all of this stuff in glanzer bath for a month, and i start my unpainting job.

Next step : rebuild the saurus, regluing missing arm/weapon/shield that falling in the glanzer bath, and count them.

I will have to paint 180 saurus, some skinks, and 2 palanquins (slaan and skink) for my list.

Welcome to Lustria!

Sounds like you have quite some work in front of you.
If you need any help, just ask.

Good luck

Gr, Imrahil

Yesterday i work on conversion, from banner and shoulder pad, to helmet....



I plan to add at least one or two saurus with helmet in each unit. I will need a lot of saurus banner to get feathers....

 

[Vedras]

Wow, lots of models there!

Finally I finish to un paint and rebuild my army. Also converted around 40 helmets.


And I find a use for the shashimonos too

 

[Imrahil]

Awesome lot of head gears, nice job.
Precision work

Love to see a whole unit

Gr, Imrahil

Hey that is a clever use of bits! I really like it, I can only imagine how long it too to cut and paste all those feathers!!!

Hi Guys,

Back from my hollydays in the french mountain, i can share with you another step of my saurus project.
I start to build up the basing and the platform for the army. There is still a lot of work in front of me, but i'm really please with the result so far.

 

[Lizerd]

That’s a lot of saurus! And saurus are awesome! Keep up the effort, seeing your stuff painted will be awesome!

Hi Lizards,

I'm still working hard on my saurus project, and i start to build the basing support. Some picts i took yesterday :

 

[Warden]

Love it

Tempted to go buy two more saurus on foot and copy this idea

Loving your use of materials to create both these stela-bases and the ongoing temple-looking project! Can't wait to see it painted

 

[sixbras]

I have finish to paint the temple, no i will add some vegetation, vine, roots on it.
I start also to paint some batch of saurus, using contrast paint. I would like to paint some warpaints on the saurus face or shield, but i can't find a good exemple that inspire me. If anybody have sources, let me know.

Goodness me, what a big task you have in front of you, but it already looks like you’re tackling it with aplomb. I love seeing that big pile of models stripped of paint, clean and ready to go again. Really cool looking color scheme and bases.
