    Hi Guys,

    New to Lizardmen I normally play 40k but I saw the new lizardmen and definetely want to give it a shot.

    Whether this was a conscious decision or not, three of your colour schemes appear to reflect different natural aspects: 2) is more volcanic, 3) more of deep jungle, 4) of ice mountain. All of them are good, which it makes it difficult. However, these are my general thoughts about them:

    1): obviously, really complementary colours on this one. I quite like it and it's guaranteed to look good however I prefer others on this list.

    2): really nice, firey/earth vibe I'm getting from this one.

    3): Yes, my favourite! The green is visually striking, especially against the dark flesh of the Saurus. Green tends to be (generally) reserved for flesh colours, so it's nice to see it reversed. The bright green against the black makes the green seem almost luminous, and reminds me of a venomous amphibian, thus making it more menacing. The green also helps to ground it within the tropical/natural aesthetic of the Lizardmen too, so it differentiates itself without being garish. I like.

    4): second place for me, I love it: it gives off a ice and rock theme, like it hails from the mountains regions of Lustria. The pale skin makes it different from most of the Saurus colour schemes I've seen out there, so bonus for originality.

    hmmm yea #1 has a great contrast and it would definitely be my first choice. :smug:

    though I would have to say that the green one #3 is a close second. :shifty:
