So, I realized that, after a long break from doing anything related to AoS, that I suddenly had seemingly infinite time, and a shelf full of grey plastic. So, naturally I called every game store near me and found one still doing curbside pickup. So I bought these.
My goal was to round out my options, and expand my saurus guys enough to run both sarus-star hosts. The extra skinks help me bulk out my existing forces some, and I desperately wanted to kit ash the trogladon rider onto a ripperdactyl. So.... My project began to take shape. So far I've gotten a full shelf full of finished models, and half a shelf of grey plastic left.
So, I'll post a bunch of images below, and add notes about conversions and kitbashes as nessecary.
The first group of models I worked on, was a group of 10 sarus knights I already had built. Painted them up in my army colors, and began the basing. I just play for me, and so I dont care about senic bases. (more power to the guys who do, but I wanted something easy) so, I glued rocks and bits of plastic plants for fish tanks to the bases, and flocked normally. I think they're pretty cool. That scar veteran conversion on the side of the frame is built from a spare knight, replacing the tail of the colt one with a spare carnosaur tail tip to make the model stick out next to other cold ones. I also mounted him on a base that's one size bigger, so I can pick him out from the knights in a mass. Also, I dry rushed blue onto his back, and them the backs of all the other saurus characters to make them stick out from the crowd also.
So here we have all the characters in my army, not on a monster.
My eternity warden is a kit bash from spare parts after building the new boxes.
I used a razor saw to reposition the hands to allow a two-handed grip. And cut the raptor head out of the cold one squad leader in order to cobble together a big helmet.
This Sunblood is converted from a standard saurus body, and oldblood head, and carnosaur headplate. Classic, but, ass kicking none the less.
Now that he's got venombolt on the warscroll, I dusted off the old trogladon bit, and made it magical green, with 'ardcoat for the wet look.. And boom.
Spare trogladon rider lightly converted to be a skink priest.
Astrolith Bearer kitbash.
My terradon chief is a favorite, even though I don't have any terradons. But, the box came with three mounts... So he got kitbashed from the spart parts left over after the ripperdactyl chief... Who, what more intensive to make, but I ended up liking this dude quite a bit... The head dress is there, mainly because I used the last collar bit as a belt for the eternity warden. But, it came out cool none the less.
Ill post about the ripperdactyl chief in the next entry.
