Blog The Jade Host: Mayan Lizardmen

My uncle and I were just talking about this. I did the math for 8th edition; bare bones 6 slann came out to 1800 points, with another 325 for slann #7 who is also the BSB. Would definitely make an awesome last-stand scenario.

 

Oh yeah I forgot those are in square base for lizardmen (and I know nothing about it, not that I know much more about AOS hehehe) I was looking at AOS.

 

Yep, never made the transition to AOS myself, grew up playing 6th Ed. with my brother . Everything is still on squares!

 

Have you used this stuff much previously. I've used it for its intended purpose, but also had some lying about for a while. It tends to dissolve after a while. Maybe that won't happen if you are using paint on it and other crafting stuff, but it could all end up as a pile of rubble.......

 

Can't tell, the picture didn't post for some reason

 

Its the floral foam

 

Yup, standard floral foam. I use it for most of my bases and/or terrain projects to look like stone, like the serpent mouth temple. I usually have to give it two or three thick black coats of paint after it is assembled to keep it from falling apart. Still does sometimes though, but since I am making ruins it just makes it more characterful

 

Excellent

 

Agreed, I do miss @spawning of Bob 's work, glad he left so much of it in the forum!

 

Your Council of Slanns are so awesome! I love how each one has been painted to look like a different species of dart frog!

 

Thanks! Glad I finished it

 

Still plugging forward on my Cryx warmachine force, but I took a quick break to put paint on models for some raptors I have had kicking around my "finish painting" stack for over a year!



These were raptors from the game/company Verge of War. Happy with how they turned out; after they dry I need to base them with a suitably jungle habitat!

 

@Warden these look pretty cool! Do you think a saurus knight would fit on one of those?

 

Really love how these guys have turned out!





Great new dinos to add to Jungleheim

This one on a single leg was tricky to base... I decided to drill a metal pin into his leg and securely fasten him in the end so he wouldn't keep tipping over as I glued him down.

 

Great question, I think they would work pretty well. The raptors are a tad bigger, and you would need to shave off some of the back-ridge details, but I think they would fit with minor alterations. Plus the saurus riders look too big for their old mounts to begin with.



You really can see how much my painting has progressed since I painted my cold-one riders (over 10+ years ago??? )

I went ahead and made a tutorial thread-size comparison to show off the differences.



Hope this helps, one more very hungry raptor for the road

 

These look great, I love the play on Orange with green and Green with orange.

Good comparisson

Grrr, Imrahil
