So this summer I started my first warhammer fantasy army, choosing Lizardmen. In all fairness, I did choose to do them before 8th was released, but let's just say this edition has been good to my Slaan 
I have been lurking on the Lustria Online forums since the spring, and since I have found a ton of useful info on this site while I get up to speed with my lizzies, I thought I would share back and post pics now that my army is completed.
I chose Lizardmen because they would allow me to wash and drybrush an army quickly, while still looking decent. I am more than happy to share colour recipes if you have any questions.
The list I tend to play with these models is being discussed here.
This model is a ton of fun. I modeled all the skinks with pins in their feet, so the can be removed as they die. The priest also has a separate base that the pin fits into, so if the steg dies, he can still run around on foot:
This colour scheme was a bit accidental, but I love how it turned out. No 8th ed lizardmen army should be without one of these guys I wanted to try out magic in WFB, and boy is a Slaan a good way to throw around spells:
I use him as a Scar Vet in my army, but I think the Chakax model is cool:
I made this guy out of extra parts from my Steg kit, but was pleasantly surprised at how he turned out:
The larger of my two saurus blocks uses spears for extra attacks:
Nice block of Saurus with Hand Weapons, to get the parry save for extra survivability:
I usually play these guys as chameleons, even though I have painted them as standard blue skinks:
In my lizzie army, the bigger you are, the darker blue your skin is, hence the cold ones are darker than their saurus riders (and skinks are the lightest of all):
Salamander from my Lizardmen army. I really do like these guys in 8th, but perhaps he is painted a bit too brightly to avoid attracting the attention of opposing generals
The whole army together:
Comments and feedback welcome,
Robin
