Blog Mythgital's Lizardmen and other races

Generally I just leave them flesh-coloured - they are so small you can hardly see them, and you can generally assume that they will be charging into battle with their eyes open...

 

Nearly completed a SC of Seraphon ready for the first part of Malign Portents, just need to do the Saurus's bases
Then it will be onto thinking whether to add a Stegadon, Saurus Guard or Rippers while I wait for Lord Oridinator to come, stuck with painting him for this....

 

He is mandatory for painting, I'm trying to see use of him in Seraphon but I have found nothing yet.

 

Yep, best with the machines. Unless GW gives us a Seraphon styled war machine, which is unlikely

 

Still in this deep debate over getting other company miniatures for the undead bird army, I see some nice ones but they will only end up being a decorative thing, don't know what to do.

Update: Just also took a picture of the Chaq'Kai and posted the entry online, the photo just never does them justice, can hardly see the Carno's piercing gaze... Spent ages trying to get it right

 

Here is the small pile of pictures showing off the Chaq'Kai, I did posted the main one on one of their posts but they never seem to let you know whether it's been entered :/

 

indeed... definitely looks bad ass...

 

@Aginor If I recall, yes I attached part of the bolas to it, not sure if the fluff refers to the Oldblood's weapon as a laser beam of sorts but a stream of fire seems better to me.

@tom ndege Thanks

 

So it begins


Going to be interesting painting this guy

 

Lord Oridinator built and Rippers built, just need wait for spraying.
Need to think of what to work on after this, got the undead birds for painting, Skaven... a lot to work on. Got even on the Skaven and Undead birds for painting. Malign Portents going on at the moment and I just remembered what colour/theme scheme I was going to paint my Skaven. Always get caught up with thoughts and I'm just slow to keep up.

 

Nice work! The carnosaur-rider is very unique and nicely painted! Looks fierce with that under-jaw bone armor!

 

Thanks!

Found this page on the internet, known as the PaintHammer https://spruesandbrews.com/2018/01/01/painthammer-2018/
Thought I will take a copy of the sheet and fill it out, great way of keeping track what I have done.
Here is what I have done far this year, the next few miniatures on the list is what I am currently working on, depends if I fully fill out the achievements bit at the bottom.

 

Ooh. I think I'm going to steal that.

 

With the Ordinator being painted at the moment, Ripper primed and ready. Slow work on the rats. Then BAM! Another colour scheme idea for the Lizards, it just never stops. Depends if I ever want to go with it but it would seem interesting to try and recreate. I will have to have a think first, maybe do a test model.
Need to pick the pace up a bit to keep up with my mind.

 

Love that line:

'Need to pick the pace up a bit to keep up with my mind'

 

It's a truthful line that one, I can't seem to keep up with my mind sometimes, get these ideas that when I do eventually get around to it. It just goes away and sometimes they seem good ones. If only.

 

I was looking at your "paint hammer" page again, seems like a really great record to keep track of your forward progress through the year! I do something similar with books I read during the year (goal is 2 per month, so far I am on track), so I think doing something like this for minis is a great idea too!
