Re: Greek themed lizardmen Plog (including armies on parade

i need some feedback!

What do you think of the placement of the horrors? (they are all white atm)

To many? to few? does one area feel over clouded or empty? or it is just right? i have been staring at it for hours and i am not making sense to myself any more xD

Indeed, I am always pleased with the airbrush, even when I'm not. I rarely find it not worth the effort to try.

i really think it makes a beautiful complement to a normal brush, i mean the things one sucks at the other does brilliantly with ease.

what airbrush do you use? and do you use a compressor or just cans? i got a fairly cheep one but for all i know its quite good i never had any problems, but then again i am new to airbrushing honestly. it may be completely I swear too much but im so thick i think its awesome that paint is even coming out haha!

I have the Aztek (or Azcrap, as some people call it). Not a very good one, but it's double action and easy to clean. I also have a much better Badger, but haven't used it in a while because of how much more involved the cleaning procedures are. When I do 2D art, I use the badger, but for miniatures the Aztek seems to get the job done, especially as I always finish up with a brush anyway to do detailing and washes and so on. I have a compressor that I bought at Sears for about $100 13-15 years ago. Works great - and nothing fancy - just the kind you'd buy for air powered tools. I did invest in some quick connectors for the air hose, but that's it. Everything else is standard. You can see the results on my Cold Ones, Steg and Kroxigors, but I also base coated my saurus with the airbrush in red with tan bellies, and my skinks were all base coated in pale green before being washed in Thrakka green ink.

Thanks mate!


important question!

What do you guys think looks best?

With Demon facing forward:



With Demon facing the Slann:



Without Demon:



Which one do you guys like best and why?

Re: Greek themed Lizardmen (Need advice page 5 please!)

It's a shame that I have to say this, but I think it looks better without the big guy; he draws a lot of attention away from your army and obscures the view a bit. The lizards are the ones who should be the focus of the display. I personally think a horde of lesser daemons would work better. The greater daemon is a bit too big.

Re: Greek themed Lizardmen (Need advice page 5 please!)

I agree with Didymus, he draws a lot of attention. If you put it on I am affraid your, I have to say it AWESOME themed lizardmen, will fade into the background and they have to be in the front of this scene!

But nevertheless the demon looks brilliant!

can the demon take the place of that smaller flyer down front?

Re: Greek themed Lizardmen (Need advice page 5 please!)

can the demon take the place of that smaller flyer down front?

Then it will definately block the view.

Then it will definitely block the view.

ya, even tho i love the greater demon and think its one of my most creative conversions, i think it has no place here. so im painting up quickly a small swarm of horrors what will be running up the cliff and at the lizardmen.

ill post photos tonight or tomorow when i finish painting them.

If you're going to have it, I think definitely facing the slann. The feathers point focus toward the lizards and temple that way, and in the same way pulls less attention towards itself.

Re: Greek themed Lizardmen (Need advice page 5 please!)

absolutely facing the slann

I think you should position the daemon like this:



ZaGreekie, consider yourself "Friended"

Excellent! You can have both GW and WB send you C&D letters, and that way they cancel each other out!

that made me rofl!

Re: Greek themed Lizardmen (Need advice page 5 please!)

That's copyright infringement letters from GW and Warner Bros twice. So no cancelling out.

So hush now and let ZaGreekie finish his work. He can get sued later.

Sorry, just went back and checked the rule book. You should be fine, the second WB wouldn't count.
Something about rerolling a reroll.
