    I really liked the purple in the battle tome so I decided to bring it to my model. I used two types of purple on top of a white/grey base. Let me know what you guys think! 80756EB1-8DE8-45E0-A15D-A4AA101FC671.jpeg

    I especially like the sail and the blue tongue (no idea why :rolleyes:)

    The blend of the light purple into the grey is nice.

    The paint on the claws seem a little thick though, do you thin your paints?

    I assume you have a start collecting box, so when is the saurus warriors and cold ones coming?

    Thanks man! I don’t normally thin my paints except if I’m doing washes. I can notice the hard line in the picture tho now that you mention it. I actually got the starclaw strikehost box. I have about 2500 points painted from years past but since I’m getting into AOS I got this battalion to paint some new models! Mainly monsters :)

    I was thinking maybe some sand and tuffs of grass, that seems like a popular combination. I gotta re base my entire old army so I got my work cut out for me haha. About 2500 points :/

    Basing can really take the models/army to the next level, but choose something you like, not just something that is popular :) But maybe that is what you meant?

    I think the rider could use a wash, and of course you should do a beautiful base for your Troggy, but otherwise he is looking really nice, great job!

    Thanks! I did wash the priest with a darker blue, what would you recommend for a more impactful wash? A darker colour maybe?

    I guess I just like it because it seems simple, and I want my army to all match. Got a lot of basing to do haha

    I think if you just use the blue wash again, but just apply it to the deeper crevices using a small brush, that would add contrast.
    Also the claws of the rider look very bright, you could apply a sepia shade there.

    Really nice model, while the body seems kinda dull in color, that helps draw attention to the colorful rider, the scary claws and jaws, and a blue tongue. Really well done, keep it up!
