Re: Pinktaco's army: Kroxigors updated
Right, so here's a small update:
I've put my GF on skink duties so we managed to paint the skin/scales of 18 skinks. They now need some warpaint (yellow), eyes, weapons and other small details, however I'm quite happy we managed to get through all 18. At least now they actually have some paint on them which will look alright when I field them.
I've also given some love to 2 more kroxigors. They've had their scales painted and their some of their skin coloured. It shouldn't take long to get the rest of their skin. After that they need warpaint like the rest of my skinks, weapon etc.
Also I've begun a rather time consuming paint job with my Ancient Stegadon. I'm probably manually painted 70% of all the scales on the creature by now. Hopefully I can be done with it by tomorrow. I did this because I'm horribad at dybrushing and just washing like I usually do didn't quite do the trick. So I decided to go full retard.
Here's a couple of pictures. They're quite bad, but I wanted to upload something so you get the idea what I'm talking about:
As you can see the steg still needs quite a lot of work. The idea was that the red colour beneath the scales will pop out between the scales. Had I just used the ushabti bone colour and washed it with a red it would've looked quite bad I reckon. In fact I actually did try it just with a brown was and it didn't look well. Overall I'm quite happy with the current result (the left side is as of right now completely done). I can't wait to be done with the scales and begin on the other parts of it.
So My general theme of the army is:
(all) Saurus model to be painted with the red/brown/gold colours.
(all) skinks + kroxigors to be painted with purple, pink and yellow.
Bastiladon is purple/green.
Ancient Stegadon is red and brown (for now).
This way I won't have to many different colours in my army and what I have is something I think that makes sense (green/purple on bast is not far from skink color and same with the A-steg).

. I'm adding spikes as we speak. I have a game tonight so unfortunately I can't get as much done as I was hoping, but luckily I'm free tomorrow so I'm hoping for make a good progressions.
