    I'm a little nervous about how to paint him. My army theme is red, a sotek blessed spawning of saurus, Bright yelow salamanders etc etc.

    I really want my temple guard to be a contrast, and Chakax the center point of the unit.

    Any suggestions on a paint job?

    the classic contrast to red is green, but if you want to keep the sotek theme, maybe a brighter red/orange will do just as well.

    I did test a green temple guard, and he looks alright. That might be an idea...

    Thanks a lot :D

    Oh, thats quite an interesting colour scheme. I've started a few green Temple guard, I think Chakax will follow suit. But nice paint job :3

    I just dropped chakax. Now he's in five pieces and the paint has come off in big flakes.

    I hate metal models...

    My heart goes out to you Gor-rok. A GWS staff member was showing me how to pin my terradon with 1 wing off, He dropped it and decimated it :/

    But who the hell cares about terradons when chakax is down!
