    Hi everyone!

    Im pretty excited to start this blog (couple of months later than planned). First of all excuse me for my english. I'll try to write this as understantable as posible.

    I used to play Lizardmen back in Fantasy battles 7 and 8ed. This year i got back in the hobby thanks to Kill Team, and the Ancients wanted me to slowly get closer to the idea of starting a new Seraphon army... so i did. At very first i decided i would only play new models, so i could use my old lizardmen for Old World, then I realized im not Jeff Bezos and i cant afford right now a whole new army, so im kind of using my old models apart of the new ones i already got.

    In this blog i want to share with you the whole proccess, including the painting process, kitbash ideas, and of course i'll ask you for advice and opinion. I'm no any prolevel painter, but i think kitbashing and painting are my favourites parts of this hobby.

    This first entry will be used as an introduction as a general list or index of what i'm working on and already finished:

    Paint:
    - Find proper scheme for skinks
    - Stegadon
    - New Slann
    - 5x Raptadon lancer
    - 10x New saurus
    - Carnosaur and oldblood
    - 1/2 salamander (spawn of chotec)

    Assemble (still in box):
    - Aggradon scar veteran
    - 5x Raptadon chargers

    Kit bash:
    - Starseer
    - Astrolith bearer
    - Spawn of chotec crew

    I think thats all by now!

    SKINK SCHEME:
    I'd like to start asking some advice for my skink scheme. I saw a cool scheme online a time ago, ind tried to copy it but trying to get distance from the blue, because my old army was a classic blue lizardmen army, but for this army i want a more personal scheme..

    Here's the link of the original reference:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/ageofsigmar/comments/vptsi6/underworlds_skink_painted_90_with_the_new/

    And this is mine (sorry for the weird filter, its the phone):
    1.jpg 2.jpg

    As you can see i changed the blue scales for purple ones.. I kinda of like, BUT the problem comes when i think i want to paint my Saururs with A RED SCHEME (rathalos like). I also painted 3 stegadon crew to see how they fit with the stegadon scheme.. and im not convinced. See it for yourself and tell me your opinion :)

    Hi guys! Lil update :)

    I'm finisihing my studies so the time i have for the hobby is quite little, but here is what i've been working on:

    I'm trying to kitbash a skink starseer using the old slann chair and bits from different kits PXL_20231012_171721880.jpg PXL_20231013_233206672.jpg PXL_20231025_074916254.jpg
    I used some extra bits from the new slann chair to build some kind of base to put over the old chair. I used some troglodon bits, and added green stuff to fill cavities.

    For the skinkseer i used a skink chief body from the stegadon kit and fixed the posture. I also used my knife tool to flatten all the details from the chest in order to add mine. I used a raptadon charger head and glued some feathers from the banner to make him look more magistic. Finally, i changed the tail posture to make him fit in the base.

    Im working on the staff hand, and looking forward for some friend of mine to lend me a proper open skink hand (like from the starpriest kit). Im pretty excited on this one! hope it ends good :)

    Thank you all for reading!

    Hi guys! Here's some progress on the skink starseer. Still looking for a proper left arm, but btm this is how its going

    I used some weapong from raptadon chargers for the staff. Also, i took from a alternative slann head necklance a part which fit really good in the skink.

    I continued working on the chair. Used troglodon's bit as some kind of floating stone ring. Had to cut every detail and change its orientation because i liked more the serrated edge. Also used the remaining parts from the raptadon chargers to fill the little platforms sides.

    Finally i took a couple bits from the stegadon kit, and this is how its looking!
