Just bought chakax!

I'm a little nervous about how to paint him. My army theme is red, a sotek blessed spawning of saurus, Bright yelow salamanders etc etc.

I really want my temple guard to be a contrast, and Chakax the center point of the unit.

Any suggestions on a paint job?

 

the classic contrast to red is green, but if you want to keep the sotek theme, maybe a brighter red/orange will do just as well.

 

I did test a green temple guard, and he looks alright. That might be an idea...

Thanks a lot

 

i just painted my chakax this may look good with your red colour scheme for the rest of your army

 

Aw man thats nice, a kind of brown/green. I like it. What did you use?

 

its actually black/dark grey i sprayed it white then used watered down chaos black then highlighted with chaos black mixed with a little bleached bone, the scales are white with some black shading.

 

Oh, thats quite an interesting colour scheme. I've started a few green Temple guard, I think Chakax will follow suit. But nice paint job :3

 

yeh he goes good with my army as all the temple guard, skinks and saurus are white

 

I just dropped chakax. Now he's in five pieces and the paint has come off in big flakes.

I hate metal models...

 

My heart goes out to you Gor-rok. A GWS staff member was showing me how to pin my terradon with 1 wing off, He dropped it and decimated it :/

But who the hell cares about terradons when chakax is down!
