Hey All,

My name is Jeroen Schoonbrood I live in Holland.
And will be starting soon with a Lizardmen I'm thinking of a snow based theme.
Will be receiving first lizardmen in a week or so and will start posting pics ASAP.

Cheers,


Jeroen Schoonbrood.

Snow-based? Interesting for an army/civilization based in the Amazon-like jungles mostly. What's the fluff on that in your mind?

Welcome to the forum!

We have one member on here that has busted out the snow/ice theme. It looks pretty snazzy. He's even got a fluff piece written up for them.

Check it out: Icebloods... My Lizardmen PLOG, by APhilmon.

Looking forward to seeing your stuff!

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the warm welcome
Saw the topic of APhilmon awesome army also kinda the fluff that I had in my head, ofcouse more in detail that in my head hehe.
Seeing the army I need to rethinky my new armylook maybe do a purple with a white skin... as a contrast did on an Ogre army (although those were purple pants still looked nice though)

But a fluff question do Lizardmen always stay in the jungle of Lustria or do they go out on mission like retreiving kins/glyphs/plaques or are the bannend from the homeland?
Also are there spawing pools found in other parts of the world that are forgotten?

Cheers,

Jeroen.

Fluff-wise the options are limitless. The world of Warhammer is nicely set up that way.

The Lizardmen army book suggests that right now the only course of action for their race is to eradicate all the other races. Sounds like quite the undertaking and should require them to leave Lustria to accomplish. I also know Kroq-Gar has led an army out of Lustria on occasion.

I don't know of any Lizardmen that have been banned from the continent though. Tichi-Huichi's Raiders were a special detachment of Skinks that roamed all over the place offering their aid to random armies in exchange for stolen valuables. The old Games Workshop description of them said:

Tichi Huichi has been blessed by the Old Ones to ride Cold Ones throughout lands foreign to Lustria in search of ancient relics taken from his homeland. These riders provide a fast, ferocious element to any army that needs a little speed. If you have a few strange gold statues hanging around, you may be able to hire them for next to nothing... or be marked as their next victim!

I think that gives you justification for an army to have the same mission.

As for spawning pools, it's possible. I recall one story where dormant pools suddenly became active. Usually it happens in light of a particular event as envisioned by the Old Ones.

Hey guys,

Have some themes for the army in mind.

- Snowbased with purple as second color.
- Nurgle themed as in defiled spawing pool ( is this fluff wise correct) I was thinking of a Slann who used his magic to save the spawned lizardmen?
- Regular jungle themed with bright yellow color only doubt what to do with the normal gold.

Got some old Skinks from a friend wil use these for samples in terms of painting scheme.

Someone any thoughts?

Cheers,

Jeroen.

Those are some good ideas. The Nurgle theme would be new and different take. For the jungle theme, you could always use silver for any 'gold' bits in the army. You could also use obsidian in the same respect.

 

[The_Question_NL]

Do Slanns love the spawnings as children?

Cheers,

Jeroen.

How about something like this for the Black and yellow scheme.
