    So here are some pics of my converted Scar-Veteran with a Great Weapon and the Bane Head item. I hope you guys like it! I also included pics on my WIP Chameleon Skink, which will be the example for my other Chameleons. And yes, the base needs some work :p

    So any tips, comments etc etc are very much appreciated!

    PS, the pics were taken with my cellphone and arent very good quality, will provide better ones when i got my cam back ;)

    Thanks!

    Thats a very bright and striking yellow on the scar vet. Great idea to incorporate the bane head item! I like the skin tone on the skink as well.

    Yeah, I like the Chameleon Skink a lot! And the Saurus looks pretty decent as well! The only thing I would try changing is the red on the scales. They look like they have no depth. Try washing them with some Devlan Mud and then highlighting them to give them a less 'flat' look ;) Keep up the good work!

    And p.s. your base looks a lot better than mine so don't worry ;)

    I used an arm and the head from anold Beastmen box my bro bought years ago. I used Greenstuff to make it look scaly. Same for the other arm (coming from the TG box). I cut off the head of a second weapon from the TG box, and glued em together. The Saurus head is from the cavalry sprue, I also used the body of a TG
    So basically its a kitbash :p

    Is that really the colour of the Great Weapon or is it the bad quality picture? If it's the real colour then it looks awesome!

    i think NMM is nice, but i do think you need to rethink your color selection. imo it does not look like gold. the mix of brown->yellow->bone needs better coherency to really look like gold. technically its good, but i think that by choosing the colors with more care you can get a very much better result.

    i have had some success with using vermin brown blended to vomit brown and with just a little bit of bleached added in at the edges. you could try it out on another model just to see what you think.

    keep up the good work :)
