Hello all.
Started on lizardmen and I`m thinking of a different color scheme than the army book suggests.
Initially I thought about an "oceanic" vibe army,progressive layers of dark green,lighter green to light blue/teal with maybe dark blue stripes.As I am a beginner in painting I`ve scratched this idea for something easier to paint but cool nonetheless.
All models will have the typical chaos black undercoat.
Started painting Saurus (and cold one cavalry saurus) like this:
-Catachan Green on most of their skin,dark angel green on the clusters of scales
-Dessert Yellow on their underbelly
-burnished gold/some bronze details on the jewels,weapons,etc (spears retain a black heads,highlighted with very fine lines of dark purple)
-yellow eyes
-shields:a light brown base with a lighter yellow-ish color on the big scales
-i may add white stripes on their bodies,and white skulls painted on their heads (like an African tribal warrior thing)
-everything washed with Devlan Mud
Skinks will be a mix of bright yellow,orange and some red or brownish stripes.I have removed the head fin on the plastic models (don`t like it for some reason)
Kroxigors will be painted as close to a crocodile as possible,but on the lighter side.Or dark purple,not sure yet.10 foot tall,massive club-wielding Barney the Dinosaur FTW.
Temple Guard will be very dark in color,almost black.The saurus` white warpaint stripes will make a comeback.My Slann will be a Kroak model.Saw a cool idea on youtube: adding the engine of the gods circle around and over his palanquin,so he`s in the middle.Might try it.
One Steg will be grey-ish,one brown-reddish.I`ll need to figure a scheme for 5 Terradons as well to fit with the rest of the force.
About my cold one cav:I hate the cold ones themselves,and I`m going to get dark elf cold ones and convert the riders to fit on them (the saurus have a wider leg space than the width of the DE cold ones.Green stuff might be the solution.)As for the color,was thinking purple with red underbelly and red tiger stripes.But I need something that fits well with green-skinned saurus riders.As for the 8 cold one mounts supplied by the lizardmen battalion box set,I will saw off their legs and shorten them,and use the head fins from the skinks to make 3 salamanders out of them,and a lot of green stuff and spiky stuff to make 3 razordons.Let nothing go to waste,eh?
Any thoughts,tips on any of this?
