Blog My Lord Kroak and Other Models

Hey guys I’ve been working on converting a spare Saurus Warrior to a saurus Oldblood. Tell me what you guys think! The armor on the back I custom made using bits from the dark elf riders of the drakespawn. I took the chai mail armor on their legs and cut off the legs then glued it on like armor plates. Then I took a darkelf shield and glue it sideways and took a decoration of one of their heads and put it in the middle. The middle I used greenstuff to fill. I painted all his metal armor a silvery blue like Starmetal (because it’s epic). Please tell me what you all think!

 

Haven’t posted on this blog for a while but I’m reinstating this as my paint update blog. Here is my (almost) finished Bastiladon. All that’s left for me to do is his feet and some touch ups. Any advice is appreciated.

 

The base for my bastiladon. I’m gonna start doing base details for my models especially after the water bases I plan to do.

 

I finally started to redo the color of his belly. This is my first base coat so I have a lot of touch ups to do on it and around it lol. Also I thought about maybe taking some spare bases I had and attaching them on his back as seen below. Then maybe I could use some toothpicks or something to be like beams and attach a skinks or a saurus or something to it. Do you guys think that would look nice? Also I have a spare ark of sotek from my bastiladon is there anyway I could incorporate that?

 

Braving the big beastie !

 

I’m almost done my dread aside from basing. I built the howdah on his back and put a saurus warrior on it. At the two open spots on the howdah’s rail I plan to get a miniature rope ladder to hang off. Tell me what you guys think and any tips you have!

 

Looks pretty epic and the detail is very well done. The vibrant red in particular is very good and is pretty bold.
However for things to focus on, which isn’t to much as the core stuff looks good, is really to push contrast as this guy has a LOT of red and as cool as rusted gold is, it does not really stand out enough. Other than that it’s pretty awesome and the Howdah will pretty cool to see finished.

 

Looks absolutely fantastic! Great work!

 

I finally started painting my rippers. The grey is places that haven’t been done (my primer color). I chose an interesting color scheme and I personally think the gold looks pretty nice and different. What do you guys think? Advice and tips wanted dead or alive (but hopefully alive because I don’t want someone to die to give me paint tips lol)

 

Is it a plane, is it a bird, no it is a Ripperdactyl!
Interesting to say the least.

Definitely standing out in therms of color.
I like the golden breast. I'd like to think that the Rippers are wearing armor as well.

I'm personally not a fan of the golden edges on the wings(but that is flavor i guess)

Good job, keep up the work.

Gr, Imrahil

 

Hey do you think my dread would look better if I repainted the armor gold?

 

I had a nice blue dread with gold amour I think its a good shout because of the riches of lustria a lot of their stuff is gold and jewled

 

Started repainting the dreads armor.

 

Added bits from the bundle I bought from @Slannta's Little Helper. Started painting the new additions. What do you guys think of the additions?

 

good to see them being loved and in use - especially love the old Slann standards giving a throwback to the old age stuff. The champion you have with the standard is tehehuni champion (can never spell his name) converted to hold that. Next suggestion is add some colour on the circle elements of the gold amour stuff, makes them jewels and makes the model feel that bit more richer I think eople add silver or white highlights to make them look shinny too. You'd have to ask one of the painters on the forum. but big thumbs up from me

 

painted a skink to be my D&D character in the campaign me, @LizardWizard , and @Erta Wanderer are in. Will also use him as a squad leader for my best skink regiment (color scheme to be determined)
