Link_t_c's lizardmen

[Link_t_c]

Hello!
I'm Link and this is my first post on this site!
I began my foray into the jungles of lustria about a month and a half ago as part of a escalation league my local GW is having. I discovered here by looking for lizardmen forums for advice to get started, everyone on here seemed really friendly so I decided I would join up and show my works so far.
I understand I am no good painter and what I have pales in comparison to some of the stuff I have seen here but regardless I wished to show my works.

so far I have 1250 pts painted up as the league is 625 per month with a 2500 pts end times game involving everyone on the 27th of December.

thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff and any critiques/ advice are welcome

Re: My new lizards

I took the liberty of converting your addresses into hyperlinks. Nice work! Stegadon is top notch.

Minor suggestion. Your bases for the Stegadon is quite good, but the edges black edges of the plastic base draw the eye away from your dirt floor. I'd recommend painting the edges of the base brown to counter that.

Welcome to the forum! We look forward to seeing more excellent examples of your models.

Looking good. Like the color scheme.

I think you models would generally benefit from applying shading washes to add more depth to the color.

Re: My new lizards

Thanks a lot, and I got the pic tag working now, I plan on doing all the bases this month now that I have decided on the style, I was planning on every Saurus having a specific place on the movement tray and having a multiple stream river that runs through all the bases.

Nice looking army! I like the theme with the red Lizzies. The base on the Steg is really cool.

Re: My new lizards

Will have more stuff to show in a couple weeks time, just bought rippers a basti and a cohort (lots of skinks)

Re: My new lizards

Ok finished my bastilodon (not his skinks, machine or base mind you) and I am very happy with him

I decided to do his skin pink as it compliments my lizards and his green matches my other monster, the stegadon
Glad I got him done the day after I bought him, 5 hours of work but I'm happy with the result, now I need to do the engine.

Re: My new lizards

Right, engine under coated

Re: My new lizards

Does anyone know how I should pain the gem? (Colour)

 

[Link_t_c]

Haha yeah!

I FINALLY got the pic tag working so no more hyperlinks

Plus I have decided to do the bastilodon gem an icy blue.

 

[Link_t_c]

I have improved the bastilodon and only it's engine and skinks to go, will post them soon

Keep up the good work! I love seeing a sprinkling of dinos in an army.

Nice looking work so far, I really like the base of the Stegadon! For the gem, hmm... You are using a lot of bright colours for the models, so maybe have a darker coloured gem shooting "dark light" or something? Deeper purple of blue could work nicely. Anyway, good luck with your painting!

Y U no post peechers?

 

[Link_t_c]

I know I have not been updating much so I would like to post some WIP pics for my rippers.

Stuff has been hectic with exams and whatnot so I finally have time to settle down and paint

I'm pretty happy with the wings given that I'm not a good painter (or at least don't consider myself to be)

The one with the stripes on its face is for the unit champion

 

[Caprasauridae]

Great looking wings, mate, very subtle colour changes! What plans do you have for the skin?

 

[Link_t_c]

The skin is dryad bark that vie now washed and dry brushed so it is staying brown

 

[Link_t_c]

New rippers done! Obviously without riders, just got them and the crew of the basti left before I uploaded them.
