I just discovered your gallery and I have to say it's just awesome (as the young skinks say).
Your LM army is just jaw-dropping. Where are these Krox from ?

Just back of holiday so sorry for the late reply, thanks for your kind words.

I have a steggy to finish and some chameleon skinks, a BSB and a old blood/vet mounted kit bashed model then I'm done, then I will post pics of my complete LM army, quite excited about this

That banner is phenomenal! Is it freehand?

Sadly no, It's a transfer, when dry I shaded and highlighted as normal.

Awesome work... now all you have to do is knock those pesky DE off the cold ones and replace them with Saurus! Great painting, they all look fantastic.

They look really awesome, Crowsfoot! I really like the red scheme you have going there!

Hey, Crow, is that molten lava rock on your movement trays? I can't quite make it out.

No they're deadly swamp bases from base-x-of-war they still need painting.

I wanted bases we could use for all our models.

Ah, okay! I wasn't sure.

Just ordered these for my Doomfire Warlock mounts

Interesting conversion idea. The Warlock horsies look kinda derpy, so this would definitely be an improvement. How difficult do you think it will be to mount the elves on these beasts?

Saw it done on Druchii.net here,

He uses glade rider legs but until I get them unsure how I'm going to do this.

Are the Warlocks' legs part of the horse? If not, then maybe you can try heating up their crotch area and make their legs separate a bit more and be able to fit on the wolf?

Yeah they are attached but I have some converted Corsair dark riders I'm hoping to use the legs from these or I may buy some glade rider legs.

I used these for some dark eldar cannibals, think they could convert easily for dark elves, I used hellion rider legs and corsair bits.

 

[Caprasauridae]

For bits, I can recommend Bits&Kits UK, I have ordered stuff from them twice, don't have anything bad to say about them. They seem to be quite sold out at the moment, because they had a big "Everything is half price" sale during the weekend. I'm sure they will get new stuff soon.

Here's Glade Guard:

And Hellion Rider, as per @bora-boka424's suggestion:

Also this arm from hellion set would be useful, help them hold on to those wolves:
