    Never mind, thus can happen from time to time.
    @Killer Angel might be able to help.

    Or you can copy the content of the post to the correct thread and edit this post to say something about this thread ;)

    Grrr, !mrahil

    Thank you. It was quickie, but those are sometimes better than planned projects.

    Thanks, I hope too. Last ones were my own and I painted them separated to have better access everywhere. Here I have to rely on black primer to act as shadows.

    I'd say this is a fine suggestion. ;)

    Pushing forward! Behold my cleaned skinks :D
    (I just really wanted to share something even when I have almost nothing :D )

    Not so massive progress on monthly goals, but I am getting there :)
    Skinks are based and ready to paint.

    And I also finished salamander handlers for second salamander (that is currently being painted after being "archived" for three months)

    And second salamander is done. Since his base is the one I used for betatest of basing, I hope that varnish won´t damage it... but if it will, I´ll gladly paint different model to represent salamander as this OPR lizard was too big and rescaling it to (I believe) 60% made those details so small I missed most of them.

    Three days of preparation and then I manage to almost finish half the unit during lunchtime :D
    Since it is friday and I will continue again at monday, I decided that it is simpler to note colors used. I will use red-yellow on feather and then just pale sand the heck out of claws and teeth.
    Edit: Nevermind... I managed to finish them :D

    Bit of detour from lizardmen, but I wanted to share that after 10 months, I managed to play wargames again! Since I have not finished my german tanks last month, I played US Armored rifle company in small 8 people tournament of Flames of War. I ended second from end :D , but we all had fun. Here are some photos:

    I realised that I'll be at office only two days this week and it would be waste to finish skinks and start another models only to wait five days then. So I started on knights instead. I should be able to finish them tomorrow. I kinda messed up dino color as it is almost the same as pallid bone I use for claws, but I'll try to do something about that tomorrow.

    Looking good! I’m going with a green and blue scheme too.

    What colour will you use for the shields and banner?

    Thank you all.

    Not sure yet. I used orange for shields of first unit, but those guys were undercoated white. These ones are grey, so orange will look like generic brown. I will think about it while I do gold details... and then I do what I do most of the time... I´ll grab first paint from rack blindly. More colors more fun, right? :D

    And it´s done. :)
    They don´t look as good as first unit I made (which is also not artistic masterpiece anyway :D ), but they took me two lunchbreaks to paint... In comparision, first unit took me about 7 hours to paint... Darn, now I kinda want to paint another five :)

    Last couple of days are pretty chaotic at home, but I got up early and managed to paint second half of skinks before rest of the family woke up.
    I can already hear them moving in the dark, so here is quick photo. Excuse the wet varnish on rim. I need to return being a dad :D

    Looking good! Can’t believe you managed a whole unit in your lunch break!

    It takes me about an hour of procrastination just to get my painting table out!!

    Thank you :)
    To be fair, they were primed and preshaded. All I had to do were just speedpaints. I found out that key is to not overbrush, so I don't have to repaint areas with white and wait for it to dry. I have two brushes dipped in paint and switch them in seconds to go around details and large areas. Then I clean them together and move to next color.

    Edit: also... Most of what I posted in last 3 months is done over lunchbreaks :D

    All right...
    I glued skink shields onto skink chief stegadon's bamboos and model is ready for priming.
    I found out that my german tanks take speedpaints well and single track takes 5 minutes to do instead of 30 minutes, so they will be easy in way of progress.
    Those were my last goals for this month, so I am moving to additional stuff I have put on backtrack long time ago.

    The dreaded thirty: My planned unit of thirty warriors. Made from mix of 20 (carefully selected best of bad) second hand minis and start collecting saurus warriors. I already cut off their spears and gave them 3D printed clubs. Now I have to make 5 more drummers and 5 more banners.

    Cavalry of Remnants: Bought together with warriors were 12 knights on cold ones. Together with 3 spares from start collecting, I am able to kitbash them to three units (one already painted earlier). I will have to saw off some limbs, but they will be usable.
    This will take a lot of time... I plan to have them done by end of year if I don't do anything else, but we'll see.

    Okay, here we go. I decided that to divide time, I will make all the models in groups of five. This should keep my fear of painting hordes in check a bit more and hopefully avoid situation where I put those models back to pile of shame.

    I have first five warriors and five knights ready and should start re-priming them today.
