Temple City of Sun'tz-aton

Welcome to my first new project. This will be a temple city surrounded by deep jungle, ancient ruins and with a central river for my lizardmen army. Any tips for terrain creation will be great, I hope you'll like it!

 

well dang. this should be fun

 

Wow that's tall haha. Very cool

 

Wow that looks amazing! Can't wait to see more pics of this

 

Can't wait to see it finished!

 

Excellent looking temple! I have really enjoyed making my own as well.

 

This is very, very prommissing! Great start as well.
That temple is big!!!!

Are you planning on building tiles so you could re-arrange the city if you prefer a different set-up? Do you keep the buildings separate from the baseplate? Or will everthing be fixed in place?

I will follow this with great interest.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

The temple can be separated by pieces, then the giant trees will be able to change positions. And the main idea once the basement will be finished it's to add a floating island with more ruins.
What colour scheme do you think would fit the most for the city, a full stone one with mosaic or a golden city such as El Dorado?

 

Great idea.

I find full on gold a bit tacky. I like both grey stone or sandstone as a main color accentuated with gold or jewels.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Personally I would go with whatever colour complimented my army the best - what colour are your lizardmen painted?

If you’re going to have a lot of green jungle foliage on the board then green and yellow compliment each other well - so a gold or a yellow stone like sandstone could look really good surrounded by Jungle!

Alternatively is your temple city/army going to have any strong connections to a specific Old One? For example if I was doing a city dedicated to Chotec I’d definitely do a yellow stone or gold due to association with the Sun. Whereas for Huanchi (who’s symbol is a Jaguar) I’d lean more towards a super dark grey stone with stark edge highlights (whether that would be a sane scheme based on the size of the structure is a different matter )

 

My army will be composed by different tones of blues so I was thinking that a city made of gold would be great to create a contrast between the units. In part I got inspired by the ancient city of Chaqua, so I'll probably make the gold look age-worn

 

This looks very promising, can't wait to see it finished. I guess the only thing i have to do now is to wish you good luck on this project

 

Thank you mate!
