lets see your new painting tips HERE!!

guy just want to see how youu paint you lizardmen and get some tips
Thanks!.

 

When it comes to saurus warriors I paint all the scale on the back regal blue then any skin iceblue and every spike on the back a layer of vermin brown followed by a smaller layer of bleach bone and then a tiny part of it skull white. Then all the gold parts shinning gold and then a layer of asurmen blue and devlan mud... pretty much same way I painted my CoC.
Would really recommend try not to paint them all the same color like paint the temple guards darker as they are "older" and the skinks a light color (if your painting all your lizardmen the same colors) if not paint them something that makes them stand out.

 

Well my skinks have an interesting paint job,
basicly I prime black (white would work too)
then I paint their bellies, chest, back of legs,
and underneath their airms blue, then I blend the
color to a bright green on the other side of the model,
to do this I do a semi dry brush the colors, while
slowly changing the ratio of blue to green as I work my
way around to the other side of the model...

I know this sounds complicated, but it practice it's not that hard.
Look over at my paint blog to see what I am talking about.

Ps. mixing your colors on a pallate makes the whole process a lot easier.
also you are going to want a little bit of water on your brush, but not much.

 

Mine are based off a poison dart frog:
Body is primed black, then a like drybrush of ultramarines blue over the whole thing. The hands get another, heavier drybrushing of magic blue to make them pop.

The back scales get a basecoat of iyanden darksun foundations yellow, then sunburst yellow to give it a nice solid yellow color. I then wash the yellow in the light brown (sepia?) wash so the scales stand out, and pick out each scale with the sunburst yellow. Back spines a black, and the metal trim is done in boltgun, washed with flesh wash, and drybrushed boltgun again to give it a slightly rusty look.

Weapons are based in beastial brown, with the trim getting the rusty metal look. The teeth on the hand weapons/spear tips are bleached bone with a bit of white hightlighting.

Tip: Washing and Drybrushing are two of the best tricks to learn, it will enable you to make just about everything reasonably well painted. Not golden demon caliber, but definately solid.

 

I use a very handy technique I learned from teh webz. First I prime the models white, then I wash with Badab black and then I drybrush lightly with skull white. Then just wash on whatever colour you want and BAM! instant highlights all over

4. Make a Scorched Brown wash with water (30/70) and go over all the areas.
5. Do step 3 again.

1. Paint all scales with Red Gore.
2. Drybrush with Blood Red.
3. Wash with Chaos Black.

Shields:
1. Paint the whole shield Scorched brown.
2. Paint all raised areas with Graveyard Earth.
3. Mix Graveyard Earth and Bleached Bone 50/50 and go over all raised areas again. Light coat, leave some of the previous layer showing.
4. Dark Angels Green wash (30/70) over the whole shield.

Gold:
1. Scorched brown.
2. Scorched brown mixed with Shining Gold. 50/50. put down on all but the most shaded areas.

I try to use drybrush only on chainmail, nothing else. I also use washes only in very small and controlled amounts as glazes, never in a "bung a wash over it" sense.
