    as topic suggests i have entered a new campaign that involves us starting with a fully painted 1500 points army and adding 250 points a month, both as a nicve campaing and a way of motivating us to paint. Here is my first completed unit i have recently returned to the hobby after 13 years away and was 11 when i last painted so im not to a great standard yet but hope with practice i can get better. Any feedback would be great. I posted a pic of a few of these skinks when was trying to decide on a theme so you may recognise the colour scheme.









    as i say any feedback would be great, cheers

    cheers mate, i painted the first skink probably 2 months ago but actual time spent on the unit is probably around 3 or 4 hours. not sure if thats fast or not. Got my list sorted for the 1500 points and i need to paint another 40 saurus, slann 16 temple guard and a salamander & crew in 10 days. I will use this thread to keep an update of what i have done. should help keep me motivated too

    You painted really nice. The colour , purple, is some sort of special. I couldn't do this, really. That quick and also that nice. You did a great job.

    saurus are going to be a lighter shade of purple with pale purple scales, i like the yellow on the skinks as it makes them look poisonous but my saurus will have a much simpler colour scheme.

    .... I think you should maybe explain a bit more clearly what you are on about.

    I agree with strewart. I do not understand your angle with this post.

    Why not just make that post under Xisor's?

    Re: suport xisor

    I believe the rough translation would be "Let's all support Xisor because he needs motivation to get that army done in 2 weeks, which is insane! So don't post here, but in his thread and lets support him!"


    Throw in a random F*CK Yeah!...and I think that might about sum it up.

    Of course...I could be completely wrong.

    Re: suport xisor

    thanks for the support, really struggling this week have had to do a lot of overtime at work and havent got much done at all, i have made a start on 40 saurus and they are all purple and a few of them have other bits of weapons and things painted. i dont want to be spamming these forums so i will post on the original thread from now on. i do appreciate the encouragement though
