    I’ve already started my battle standard/astrolith, but I’m definitely taking some of you’re creative influence and trying my own skink priest on winged coatl to maybe use as a skink starseer. It flies after all! :p

    Hi @Warden. I can't remember if I've commented on this thread previously, but let me just say that the amount of work, the quality and the creativity of this Lizardmen/Seraphon army is really impressive and humbling. Bravo!

    Posted a long-overdue Mordheim battle report, the Tower of Fire.

    warden20181228_boards on fire.jpg

    More pics and short write-up on my Jungleheim thread.
    Much of the board caught fire this game :jawdrop:

    warden20181228_tower of fire_the battle 34.jpg

    And there were lots of failed animosity rolls for the orcs :wacky:

    warden20181228_tower of fire_the battle 02.jpg

    Overall it was a fun one! :D

    clockwise from top left
    • Army Battle Standard
    • Skink Chief on Troglodon
    • Sacrificial Snake Pit terrain

    Small update but still not done.

    The stela are complete and just finished adding the vines, need to paint them up next. Also made a bunch of little clay snakes for the bases

    Gotta finish these bases next!

    Stellar comment :D




    ...Good news fellow lizards!

    For this my 5000th post I humbly submit to you a project that has been a long time in coming: the Council of Slann!

    warden20200721_slann council complete 06.jpg

    Shown here with the original:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 08.jpg

    All slann are cast resin from the original metal version (the slann I have is pretty old at this point o_O) and their palanquins are all just painted foam on wood dowels. WIP pictures are sprinkled through the thread, along with the inspiration for each of them way back here.

    Not sure if @Itepixcauh still lurks these halls but the slann inspired from his own amazing version is probably my favorite:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 13.jpg

    Slann #2:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 15.jpg

    Slann #3 is my second favorite of the bunch, inspired by the forumite Presso I believe:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 17.jpg

    Slann #4:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 21.jpg

    Slann #5:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 24.jpg

    And Slann #6:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 26.jpg


    Here the Slann Council gathers around the pool of ruminations to ruminate about things:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 28.jpg

    This project was a lot of fun, if very fiddley. The magnets for the palanquins didn't settle the way I wanted them to, so repairs are in order at some point.

    Old and new side by side:

    Marvelous collection of Slanns!

    Truly deserving of a 5000th post.
    I like the paintjob, both on the Slanns as well as the Stella palaquins :artist::artist:

    Many thanks , the project was tons of fun painting both the Slann and their Mayan stela-inspired palanquins :D

    I updated the photo to include their respective poison dart frogs/tree frogs:

    warden20200722_slann council group 2.png

    Also got a slew of WIP photos I didn't post earlier, to include better shots of the bases:

    warden20200721_slann council WIP 12.jpg

    warden20200721_slann council WIP 13.jpg

    Underside of the bases are marked so I can tell which base goes to which slann.

    warden20200721_slann council WIP 14.jpg

    Moar shots of the palanquins and the stela:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 02.jpg
    Back of the palanquins all have random things written on them in lizardmen glyphs:

    warden20200721_slann council complete 03.jpg
    And the undersides are also painted. Magnets are in the rough center of each one:

    I mean technically the 7 slann and 3x10 skinks is 2000 points.... now will one let you field 7.... but then 6 slann, 10 guard and 40 skinks is also 2000 points.... and legal.... good probably not, but for fun hell yeah!!!

    I can just picture the counsel surrounded by guard and then by skinks!! Hehehehe
