Tlaxtlan army to show off

[FavoredoftheOldOnes]

Awesome pictures. Love the Defense of Itza recreation scene and absolutely love the running water diorama.

It's all hand blending. I bought the Citadel Spray Gun a while back, but I just could'nt get it to work right. Besides, I would'nt actually have painted with it, that would be cheating!



It's not just the tails, but the underbelly and crests too. Depending on the spawning, that's 3 different colour blends. Let's see, there's 16 skinks in the Kroxigor unit, 10 skirmishers, the 5 on the Stegadon and a handful of Chiefs and Priests - That's not counting the incomplete units I'm currently working on. Each skink is painted with the same amount of care.
I do sometimes cut corners with the Saurus, but I don't really care so much about them. I love my Skinky-dinks!



My workspace is a mattress with a plank of wood on top. It's worked for me for years!



I just saw it as a challenge. A bit like the Tetto Eko thing; "You won't provide a model for me GW? Fine! I'll make one. Ha!"



Now this I gotta see! Can you provide a picture?

Today's pictures are some close-ups, as requested;
These 2 pictures are to display the tiny scale texture. The Carnosaur has it all over too, but I could'nt get a good photo.

I'm currently using this one as my desktop background;

Also, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this, but I'm selling a practice painted Carnosaur on eBay.

Whoa! this is such a beautiful close up! really inspiring!

Another five year old thread bumped and I like it. Can't get enough of this guy's work.

So true! Beautiful work, worthy of such a mighty temple city! Those display boards are fantastic.

Awesome army!

Loving the colours, nearly went purple myself but bottled it last minute

Oh my, how I've grown. Looking at these old models gave me a little lurch of sickness in my stomach. I think the other thread is better. I regret purple, but I had my reasons.

As if, these are great, are you still painting on that plank on your bed?
