7th Ed. $20 USD Steg!

This morning I thought it would be cool to use the last edition steg for ancient stegs and the new one for regular stegs. This after noon I went down to my local store and found an unopened box of the last steg for $20 (USD)! So I bought it.

So total now I have

32x saurus warriors, 24 skinks, an ancient steg which is going to be an EotG (I get a priest separate to mount on it and I'm going to build up a cool magic looking device to be the EotG)

So right now I am sitting on 997 points. I still need 8 saurus, 6 skinks, 10 chameleon skinks, 20 temple guard and a slann to fill out my 2000 point list. I'm getting there.

 

Awesome find, good job.

 

pretty good amount of mini's!

But I woud rather use an actual steg even for the ancient one... way better look and size/customization is great.

Just my opinion , good luck with your army!

 

Don't get me wrong I like the new model. However, having the more vintage (not really that old) stegadon will make my army a little bit more different from any other lizardman army likely to show up to tournaments. Also, I don't like the EotG model. When I was reading the story behind them I was thinking of it as more of a giant orb on a column not a round thing so I am going to build one like what I was picturing to add a little more flare.

 

there was a nice conversion of a setgadon with an EotG in the LM collecteors guide (the one i bought in 2006, dont know if a new one appeared)
it looks quite nice and its easy to do, but there are no platform for skinks

 

I was digging through a bin of old bits and models and I found a bag of the large flier bases and I am thinking about using that as a base of the conversion and making it like a portal when I paint it. I'll mount it vertically at the back of the platform and paint it all dark and thundery.

 

about 2 years ago i joined a beginner camp for fantasy

they gave u:

a battalion
A hero blister
a paint set
and 4 weeks of lessons for every part of the hobby and army u chose

at this point i already had paints so the store manager gave me the old stegedon model instead (which was the surrent model back then) which turned out to be almost $20 more expensive, oh well.

now i use it as a regular steg.

 

you should use it as an "ancient" stegadon to have WYSISWYG
sorry, couldn't rezist

 

ya im also working on converting him into an EoTG to go along with my plastic one o bought recently

dual EoTG FTW. lol
