Hail, spawnlings. This one welcomes you to the Maw of Sotek hobby blog. Here, I will be posting and indexing the various projects that I'll be (or I have been) working on. My goal in having created this is to maintain hobby discipline, have accountability, and receive feedback for the things that I make. For you of the older spawnings, you may recognize this hobby blog. I'm trying to resurrect it after life got in the way of being a hobby person! While I have been playing Seraphon since early 2nd Edition of Age of Sigmar, I admit that a lot of it has been smashing around with grey plastic. With some time on my hands, I've made it my objective to paint them all up into something I can be proud of. It's a long road ahead of me, but I look forward to it.STILL IN THE BOX: 20x Saurus Warriors Skink Starseer Aggradon Lancers STILL UNPAINTED: 1x Lord Kroak 1x Slann Starmaster 5x Raptadon Chargers 5x Raptadon Hunters 3x Kroxigor Warspawn 2x Stegadons w/ Skystreak Bows 1x Stegadon w/ Engine of the Gods 2x Bastiladons w/ Ark of Sotek 1x Bastiladon w/ Solar Engine 1x Skink Oracle on Trogolodon 1x Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur 2x Skink Starpriest 6x Terradon Riders 5x Saurus Guard 60x Skinks 2x Saurus Oldblood on Foot 1x Tehenhauin 2x Kitbashed Skink Chiefs 1x Kitbashed Skink Priest 1x Kitbashed Skink Chief on Troglodon 1x Realmshaper Engine The FLGS I work at had an old Citadel Realm of Battle tileset in storage and my boss was kind enough to let me borrow and restore it. I will be detailing my progress as I try and turn this old peeling paint into something we can really play on. More updates to come.
"I'm beginning the army with my skinks as they'll be easy to pain in batches and - more importantly - I want to get them out of the way because there's a bunch of them. After doing some research on the battletomes throughout the ages of AoS and WHFB, I landed on a colour scheme. The 6th Edition Lizardmen battletome describes blessed spawnings of Sotek as being infused with a reddish color, and I want that to inform my decisions. I decided to settle on an orange base and plan for red markings and warpaint. Citadel's Gryph-hound Orange with a quick drybrush of Lugganath Orange got me a quick and dirty start. Speaking of; I used dirt I bought from Lowe's with Mod Podge to start the basing, but I wanted to really lean in to some jungle themes for these lads, so I busted out the Barbed Bracken. ... And as a bonus; dug out this little treasure. I tried red on the orange base coat, but wanted to see more contrast on the model. I settled on Kabalite Green for the markings. Afterwards, I went buck wild with tufts and bracken and did some quick vibrant colors: With the test model complete, I'm on to chugging away at the 59 remaining skinks. Wish me luck!
Great thread, really nice layout Love the bright orange skin with dark strip, lovely colours. The very best of luck with the batch still to do Grrr, !mrahil
Really nice colour scheme on the skinks! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the army come together
Great blog @its-taru ! I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic work. The orange Skink with the cool base looks really awesome.
March 15th, 2026 I've Finished off a small unit of 10 skinks to fill a flex spot for my Seraphon lists. Unfortunately, skink-heavy lists are not particularly good at this moment, so I'm moving on next to some bigger boys. In the mean time, I've been trying painting endless spells on the side, and I'm trying to focus on using Turbo Dork paints to give the endless spell models that little extra oomph.
