Its probably a good idea to show that the GoS exist outside of just short stories and drawings so I'll post up some of my modeling and painting here!

Adding belts and straps to my guys to attach equipment to later Putting together a model for my Saurus 'girl' Ka'rah who has featured in a few of my stories.
Finished all the Cold-Ones for my first squad of saurus Death Riders. Their colours were differentiated based on the head shape. I like having a bit of variety. Undecided if the riders should be different colours too or all united.
ive been thinking about making a 40k space lizardmen army myself for a little bit, never could figure out a good codex to use as a proxy. what army are you using? is that astra militarum? cant wait to see the finished army!
Absolutely you should do it! Its a great exercise of creativity in terms of how to figure out how to do the models and how to figure out some lore. My army's lore can be found here https://www.lustria-online.com/threads/guns-of-sotek.27516/ And yeah, I'm running these as imperial guard because I love tanks. The tanks also work as a great canvas to apply decorations.
Was not as productive today as I thought I could have been. Still, added the explosive charges to the lances to make these more rough-rider like. The squadron leader is also shaping up nicely. Adding one of my sculpting experiments too
I am so slow at painting, aghhhh! Anyways, here is the colour scheme for my first set of Saurus Death Riders The orange dorsal spikes signify that these were spawned in the new world. As soon as I have the spear shafts and feathers painted, they will have at least one arm. I have forgotten to sort out the other arms which will be a selection of shields and guns. Been prepping a bunch of equipment to hang from their saddles and those equipment belts I spent far too long on.
10 hours in the greenstuff sculpting mine and I have 20 little lizards with their belts and straps for gear. Plus a few loincloths, kilts and other bits of sartorial extravagance to give them some variety and character. Its going to be two squads of infantry and those are just place-holder bases. Also a Temple Guard champion that I am doing up as a commander of some kind. Thankfully the shield wasn't molded on so adding the plasma pistol was pretty simple. Not sure how I am going to modify his club to look more like a power weapon though. I've even given some of them straps for tail bags
That is some dedicadion! looking forward to them. Maybe something from mechanicus? Those infiltrators of theirs have some power baton limbs. Or something orky? They have tesla coils on plenty of stuff.
