Gallery Terradon Riders

Wow, I love that terradon.

 

Colour change on the wings, from burgundy to green to gold (nail polish)

 

Some terradon pics atop my jungle temple:

Nice job on the wings, they look quite shiny!

That terradon is perfect. Are you sure you didn't just go out and take a photograph of one in the wild?

 

Greetings all here are my three Terradon Riders led by the legendary Tiktaq'to:

The cagey but death-defying Skink Chief known as Tiktaq’to has proven himself peerless when it comes to aerial combat and leading bold hit-and-run attacks from the sky, leading his squadron from atop his Terradon, Zwup; a keen sense of when and where to strike has led TikiTaq’to to countless victories against forces many times greater than his own. Those among his foes who know his reputation attempt to shoot his force out of the air as soon as they come within range – a feat easier said than done, since the Master of Skies leads his formations in such breath-taking aerial manoeuvres that they can evade clouds of arrows and emerge unscathed to deliver their own lethal attacks.

The Blade of Ancient Skies: The Blade of Ancient Skies was carved from the dense, fossilised jawbone of a monstrous, sky-borne predator that went extinct in ages long past.

Mask of Heavens: This mask allows the wearer to meld his consciousness with the minds of the mighty Terradons. Dominating the will of the beasts, Tiktaq'to and his Terradons fly through the jungle as though they were a single entity, dodging trees and enemy arrows and striking the foe with all the skill possessed by their Skink Master.




Terradons are large flying reptiles that have haunted the skies above Lustria since time immemorial. They are dangerous predators with sharp talons and pointed beaks that are filled with needle-like teeth. Many creatures fear to see the ominous shadow of their wide wingspan or to hear the shrill and piercing cries of their hunting packs. Skinks have mastered the art of riding Terradons by capturing their hatchlings at a young enough age that the beasts bond with their future riders - no easy matter considering the height and precariousness of Terradon lairs. There is a great demand for Terradon Riders as messengers and scouts, and they are exceptionally useful in battle. There, they streak ahead of the main Lizardmen force, the Skinks clinging to the flying reptiles' backs, launching poison-tipped javelins or slinging deadly fireleech bolas. Veteran riders, known as Sky Leaders, know to harass larger units, whittling them down to size before flying into combat to finish them off.

 

Hi guys!
Coming back from a 10 year pause I found great joy in painting again and I wanted to take the Terradons for a spin.
I wished I had the new models, since the old ones are so clumsy, but decided to do the best of the situation and got to painting the old ones. Here's what I managed to put together. Didn't care about the bases, since I need to re-base them sooner or later...

Quite happy with the color-scheme and felt nice to be able to do something nice with these old harassers. I just got annoyed that they brought back the Skink Chefitan. Now I have to paint another one and these took me ages...

 

My first Terradon Box finished:

 

12 terradon riders, with a chief to point them in the right direction.

 

Who's that Pokemon?!?

 

Ooowww very nice blues and yellows

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Beautiful and classic looking terradons @glimpse

@Tyranitar those are beautifully painted! You must be crazy if you are going to go beat Pokemon: Warhammer with a team of six charizards

You planning to paint all your dinos like pokemon? I have seen bastiladons with paint schemes looking like venusaurs befor

 

Mostly scratch built Warmaster Terradons soaring high over the forest.

I made a forced perspective tiny jungle and tiny temple, which works at many angles.

 

So darn good!!!
The building from scratch and the amazing little display of the Temple on the base

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Ahah love the idea of mini temple and the miniatures are looking something old/fashion !

 

Yeah, my plan is to have all my dinos themed as pokemon. So far I have these guys (was going for dragonite, charizard is more orange but certainly close), I have a venusaur bastiladon, and my sallies are themed like Salazzle. I might start a painting log here, but it takes me awhile to get stuff done with work, life, etc so posts wouldn't be frequent . Once my starborne are done I'll be shifting gears to my coalesced portion and I can't wait to do my Carno, he's gonna be painted like Tyranitar, for obvious reasons lol

 

Guys, all the Terradons look fantastic on this thread. Really well done!

(I have to admit, it's a little apathy-inducing to a fledgling painter as they are all pretty mahrlecting cool... )

 

Here are my terradon riders and master of the skies. Some of these photos are before I finished basing them.

 

Love the colors! The purple works really well, especially with the bright orange and yellow of the bolas

 

Thanks so much! I’m pretty obsessed with yours, the stars on the wings are incredible!
